Pick 'N Mix: Liquorice Allsorts Ikat

Hello there you fine folks!! I haven't done a pick n' mix in a while so now is the time to amend that. I wanted to be all clever and make pick 'n mix work in the sense of nail skittles and for sweets you can get at a pick 'n mix.
Is pick 'n mix a worldwide thing? Where you get a little bag and pick the various different kinds of sweets you want and pay by the weight. I'm game for anything food related. Though I was not inspired by the patterns on the sweets so I decided to put the colours into an ikat design. But you can still see the liquorice resemblance!!

I like the ikat design because it is edgy, here are the actual sweets so you can see where I'm coming from with this design. I also like those colours together. On my accent nail I used the colours of the blue and pink sweets (the ones with the little balls covering it?) to give a little variation.

From talking to people I found that people don't like liquorice, I am not in that party. I will be that person who eats all the liquorice cause no one else likes it. I much prefer liquorice allsorts to dolly mixture, it just tastes better and more punchy. Also the colours in liquorice allsorts are brighter, I'm just attracted to bright colours. That said I haven't eaten liquorice in AGES, that should be amended soon.

Pink: Orly - Basket Case
Yellow: Rimmel - Sunshine
Orange: Essie - Fear Or Desire
White: Barry M - Matt White
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
Green: Barry M - Mint Green
Blue: Color Club - Sky High
Sometimes it shifted to purple under the black and pink and it looked fab.
Pink and Black glitter: Barry M - Ruby

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day!!! :)

Candy Pizza Nail Art

Oh hey there guys!! Hope you are all doing well. Sorry for the big gap from the previous post to the one before that, I'm not going to be able to edit posts/pictures for the next week so I've been trying to prepare some posts. Today I have some nail art today, food nail art at that. This is a weird one though, I've had this idea brewing for a while but decided against it, then decided for it. So today I present candy pizza...

I have never had candy pizza before and I don't know if it's a thing. On another note if I saw candy pizza on the dessert menu I would order it up without a second thought. It's an interesting concept.
The only candy pizza I know of, is the mode in Club Penguin when I used to play. My cousin told me about the switch under the pizza machine that changed the pizza from regular to candy. I was a beast at that game, in regular mode I could complete it with the highest combo therefore getting the most money from it haha. The candy mode was much harder though, it was faster.
I like the little faces on the crust (i.e. my favourite part of a pizza, Pizza Hut crust is the best) and the piece of pizza on my thumb is my favourite (the neon glitter, nuff said). The design didn't really pan out (ah unintentional pun!!) the way I wanted it to, I don't know what it is. Design looks better in photos though and I'll take it.

Dark Pink: Color Club - Wing Fling
Blue/Green: Barry M - Greenberry
White: Barry M - Matt White and Lovely Me:Ex - White (for details)
Neon glitter: Lush Lacquer - Clowning Around
Still can't even (sorry for the abuse of this phrase), I love the mix of glitter on my nails. I fished for the big pink hex on my ring finger cause nothing is complete with a big pink hex. Does require a couple of coats of topcoat but I can deal with that as it is very much worth it.
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
Even though it doesn't look like it, the black hearts did help a lot. Gave a bit more togetherness.
Pink: Orly - Basket Case
Brown: Ciate - Cookies And Cream
I got this free in a magazine with some caviar beads (clearly the only reason why I bought the magazine). I'll have to try this out on it's own but currently Nails Inc Porchester Square is far superior.
Orange: Essie - Fear Or Desire
Blue: Barry M - Blueberry Ice Cream
Mint Green: Max Factor - Cool Jade
Purple: Illamasqua - Jo'Mina (over Essie - Lilacism, I changed my mind)
Sealed with the Color Club topcoat. With no smudging (and Lovely Me:Ex - White is a smudging beast), this is a miracle topcoat.

Is candy pizza a thing? If you know please tell me as it does sound really good. I might do another look with normal pizza cause I love pizza (tell me which sane person doesn't like pizza). Thank you for reading and I hope you have a fantastic day! :)

Jellyfishes + Sweets

Oh hey you cool dude!!! Welcome back. Hopefully your Monday hasn't been too bad. Basically I am the Queen of procrastination, NOTHING IS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN :/ Levels of procrastination are high. The nail art today is rather random. I wanted glitter (standard), I was like "OMG (to be said as one word) GLITTER GIMME!!!". I based the nail art off the names and the general feel of the glitter polishes.

I really like it. When painting I was extremely sceptical, especially before I'd painted the faces. It was not looking so hot. But I don't give up and if it looks bad I learn. But I find it weirdly works together, the colours work and generally it's pretty cute. I like the jellyfishes best.

I'll start with the jellyfishes and the sweets.
The pink jellyfish was put into existence with the brush of Orly - Basket Case and a toothpick. Same goes for the orange/peach jellyfish which was Essie - Tart Deco.
The blue sweet was Essie - Bikini So Teeny outlined with Kiko - 265, with the same painting methods as the jellyfishes. The green sweets was Illamasqua - Nomad and OPI - Jade Is The New Black. The purple sweet was Barry M - Berry Ice Cream and OPI - Plum And Get It.
Details for the eyes and mouths were Lovely Me:Ex - Black and White (as always).

And a picture of the bases by themselves, which I have Gimme Glitter posts for both. Want more pictures with more polish accuracy? Click the names of the corresponding polish.
I used 3 coats of Nails Inc - Sweets Way. The silver glitter looks white which makes me love this polish even more. I also really like the contrast between the 2 polishes, just in general I love contrasting things.
And 2/3 coats of Orly - Go Deeper over 2 coats of Revlon - Dreamer. You can make Go Deeper opaque by itself, but I didn't want to. I have to say Go Deeper is the bomb (I know no one says "the bomb" anymore but I don't like conforming to the norms of society!!! ;)), I feel like having it on this time has made me see the light. It's awesome!! The depth is gorgeous, the colour of the base is so nice and the glitter peaking out is whoazas!! It's slightly more green-toned in real life but my Gimme Glitter post has better pictures :)

Thanks for reading!!! I hope you have a great day!! :D

Love-ly Nail Art Challenge - Valentine Candy

Hi there guys!!! Hallelujah for the weekend, I can proudly announce that I have not done anything productive and I don't care (except I will care tomorrow when there's homework unfinished).

I don't really know any valentine's candy except the standard chocolates and Love Hearts. I only chose Love Hearts because last year I attempted them and they ended in epic fail.

It reminds of a time quite recently when my friend brought One Direction Love Hearts to geography, I ate it cause it was food. I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of Love Hearts. Or this design, it's quite messy but personally I think it'll do. On my middle finger it's meant to say "For Keeps", but me misjudging space it says "For Keep", there's bad grammar written all over that (don't know if I can count that as a pun or not) but oh well.

Pink: Barry M - Strawberry Ice Cream

Yellow: w7 - Sheer Lemon

Purple: Barry M - Berry Ice Cream

Green: Barry M - Mint Green

Blue: The Face Shop - BL601

Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips

Strawberry Ice Cream is a lovely colour, just saying that now. I think I've mentioned this before but it really doesn't suit me, why there is so little left I'll never know. I love Berry Ice Cream, it's gorgeous, I never fully appreciated it until now. The pink tone keeps it suiting me (kind of). I left it unused for a year cause I didn't think much of it and purple in general. Oh my it's gorgeous. 

Thank you for reading, have a wonderful day and check out everyone else doing the challenge!!! :)
