Mint London Swatches Part 1

*These products were provided for review

Hi everyone,
So for the rest of this week I thought I'd have a bit of a swatch week! Over the past week (and this week) I have exams so instead of posting nail art I'm going to post some swatches of some new nail polishes I received from Mint London.

31DC2014 Day 13: Animal Print

Hi everyone,
So for today's design the theme is Animal Print. I decided to go for the classic tiger print, however I decided to mix it up by adding a gradient.
Here's my design:

I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Nails Inc You're a Peach, Nails Inc Atomic and LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Black

31DC2014 Day 2: Orange

Hi everyone,
So it's day 2 of the 31 day challenge and today's theme is orange. Orange isn't really a colour I'm that keen on especially for nail polish (neither is yellow but we'll get on to that tomorrow!) but recently I discovered Nails Inc You're a Peach, a pretty peach nail polish. I decided to corporate the nail polish into some nail art for today by creating a negative space design. 
Here's my design:

I used Nails Inc You're a Peach and Nails Inc Atomic

Polish Party: Gradient Nails

Hi everyone,
So after a vote we all decided that this months Polish Party theme would be gradient. I love doing gradient designs because there are so many different colour combinations and the nail art possibilities are endless! I decided to keep the gradient simple and use summery colours because for the past week or so it has been really sunny here in England! Here's what I came up with:

I used  Nails Inc You're a Peach, Nails Inc Atomic and Nails Inc OMP!

Guest Post: Galorious

Hi everyone,

Today I have another guest post from the lovely Cherelle from Galorious.

Cherelle creates so many amazing designs - I especially like her monotone and tribal designs!

Anyway over to Cherelle:

Hi! I'm from Galorious Blog and it is an honour to guest post for Jayna! 

My friend suggested for me to create some Chilli nails a while back, so I have finally put it to test as an accent nail.

Models Own Catherine Wheel Swatch

*This nail polish was a competition prize

Hi everyone,

So today I thought I'd show you another swatch from Models Own's Fireworks collection.

Instead of showing you this collection over black like the majority of the swatches I have seen, I've decided to use a different base colour to show the versatility of the collection.

Today's nail polish is Models Own Catherine Wheel.

Rocket is available from the Models Own website, Boots and Superdrug for £5.00

Snowman Nails Tutorial

Hi everyone,

Today I decided to do a tutorial for the Snowman Nails I created on Tuesday (you can see the post here).

Snowman Nails!

Hi everyone,

I've been wanting to change my banner for a while now but was never satisfied with the designs I came up with, but I finally managed to find a design I liked. What do you think? - Or do you prefer my old banner?

Anyway, today I thought I'd show you some more Christmas Nails. The nearer it gets to Christmas, the more excited I get!

I decided to create some snowman nails, here's what I came up with:

I used Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Little White Lie, No7 Striper in Black, No7 Striper in Silver, Nails Inc Atomic and Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black.

I also used an unknown polish, which had little tiny silver glitter particles, which I used to create a glitter background.

Christmas Lights!

Hi everyone,

I hope you had an AMAZING Christmas and Santa bought you everything you wanted!

For Christmas Day I decided to have Christmas Lights on my nails!

I used Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black ,  No7 Stand Back, No7 Foxglove, Nails Inc Atomic,  Avon Real Red and Max Factor Nailfinity Disco Pink. For the French Manicure I used  Rimmel Nail Tip Whitener.

The design was quite simple and the lights were based on the fairy lights in my room!

I hope you like them and let me know what you think!

:)
