    Plain white with good coverage?

    I have to say Tesco's own ''all about nails'' it is like tippex, and only takes two coats as a maximum and for the bargain it is 99p!

    Personally I am after one of these

    I've done my DIY caviar manicure post on my blog - well one nail. It seemed a bit of a waste sitting at home with a full on set lol http://1008hollywalkpark.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/micro-bead-nail-art-aka-diy-caviar-manicure-5/


    Great minds think alike! I ordered some microbeads from ebay yesterday at 75p to do exactly the same!

    Can't wait until they arrive so here is today's paint job. Such a glorious day I didn't want to be dark. The pic doesn't really do them justice - they are a sort of sandy orange. Subtle and sparkly all at the same time. Martha Stewart Cinnabar glitter with a shellac top coat.

    Those buying microbeads for a DIY caviar manicure - the packs of beads on eBay are like 20g/10g - how many nails would these do, roughly? would you need a couple of packs to do all your nails? Having never bought them or seen them I have no idea how much 20g/10g of beads look! :D

    Now that Spring is finally here and my feet will be on show for the first time in months I guess I'd better do my toe nails (never bother in the winter). Thinking of trying this...

    I'd love this on my fingernails but they're too long, the stamp won't cover them, hopefully it'll be ok on my toes.

    I bowed down to pressure and dabbled with the models own beetle juices. I can only say WOW

    They were on three for two, so had aqua violet, indian ocean and purple blue.

    Being lazy I have only thrown them over the camo colours for now ( wrong I know) but the purple blue has absolutely got me hooked. It is purple, blue and it has tiny tiny bits of sparkle in which are red/pink/purple/blue and it looks immense, the only problem is it doesn't pick up on camera :(

    I've just been playing about with GOSH 549 and my bundle monster plates. It stamps really well and the holo effect looks great. I wasn't sure the holo effect would show up much when stamped but it does. Musn't waste too much of it though, will never be able to get another bottle.

    Worth a go for 99p. Thanks.

    I love the look of the Beetlejuice polishes yet don't own any.
