Eenie Meenie Prom Nails

So it is my school prom this Friday and I have no idea what to do with my nails for it. I don't want to have plain, one-colour nails, cause I've always been known as 'the girl with the fancy nails' but at the same time I can't think of what would suit my dress and the occasion...

So I came up with five ideas. I have a definite favourite but I'll show you guys and if you have one you think is best, or any other ideas please let me know!

This is my dress

It is a Jonathan Saunders dress with a bright pink lining and black chiffon over the top, creating a dark wine colour (my favourite). My heels, bag and shrug are all black so I need something that will go with the whole outfit.

This is a shot of some of the options

First option

A bright pink bottom (nameless polish) with a black top (Primark, nameless) and separated by some silver striping tape.

Second option

A nude (Revlon, nameless mini) and purple (Nails Inc, Victoria) gradient with silver glitter (Essence, Blair)

Third option

Excuse the bubbles, I was getting impatient     A purple (Avon, Deluxe) bottom with a black (Primark, nameless) top, separated by silver striping tape.

Fourth option

Revlon Facets Of Fuchsia (Scandalous).

Fifth (and final) option

Nails Inc Victoria with a black (Primark, nameless) tip.

Like I said, please let me know what you think and if you have any ideas let me know!

Thanks for reading!

6. Metallic Stamping

Post number six of the Plasma Plays Challenge :)

6 Stamp some metallic polish over that dark with the image plate of your choice!


For the metallic stamp I decided to go for a silver stamping polish and an no name brand plate with this pretty flower design on it :)  I got the plate in a set of nine for about £4.99 on eBay and they have some really pretty designs on them and they are a really great price!

Now onto the actual design...

Please excuse the horrendous cuticle on my middle finger!  I don't know what happened, I put hand cream on everyday and I use cuticle oil every time I take polish off but for some reason they get all dry and cracked :(

I really like the combo of the dark plum-y polish and the light silver stamp.  It really made the design stand out.  I had a little problem with positioning but I always have that problem if it's small designs and it wasn't too noticeable so no biggie!

The base is two coats of Nails Inc Victoria and I used Nails Supreme in silver for stamping :)

5. Go Dark

Time for number five of the Plasma Plays Challenge :) Short and sweet!


5 Go dark

For this one I decided to incorporate some prom research as I am searching for the perfect deep red/purple to match my prom dress.
This time I chose Nails Inc's Victoria, which I am totally in love with, but I don't think it's the polish for prom sadly :(

I applied Rimmel base coat, two coats of Victoria and 2true top coat.

This is such a rich plum-y colour... I LOVE it.  I'm very into my dark vampy polishes so this is right up my street!  Application was good and it wore well, all I ask for in a polish :)
