Cheap Nail Art Brushes

This was meant to be a birthday present, but because of the postal delays and the usual Christmas rush, I've only just recieved them.

 Check them out. These were about £2.05, I think, and they shipped from Hong Kong.
There are actually quite a few (about fifteen) and they come in this handy plastic wallet for storage, which I approved of. It just makes it easier to keep all of the brushes together.
 I see some of these brushes doubling up for makeup application, too. The fan brushes, definitely, and these brushes pictured look good for gel eyeliner. The one brush in my brush roll is complete and utter crap, but that's another post.
Some of the brushes were really long stripers! I liked this. No idea what I'll use them for, but they're cool nonetheless. It also came with a dotting tool (pictured) which again, is useful as I don't actually own one.
The eBay seller included this little strip of paper, so I'll check the website out. As I've said, I'm really pleased with this purchase for only £2.05. Next time I need nail art supplies, I'll keep them in mind.

Purple Franken

Yeah. Look at that bad boi.

This is my second franken. I should have written down a recipe but I literally took an old, empty w7 nail polish bottle (base coat with ginseng) and added some blue nail art glitter, some green nail art glitter (from the nail art pens from Hong Kong, I never use the glitters) a relatively sheer Sally Hansen Diamond Hard (some of it, not a lot) and some Barry M in Raspberry and a whole lot more. The result was meh. I really wanted a duochrome but I don't/didn't really know how to go about making one of those and the Internet, for once, was no help. If anyone has any tips, please share! :) This is what it looks like though:

It's a lot more blue on the hands than the picture above shows.
It doesn't seem to mix very well but I don't have any ball bearings. Oh, and it dries satiny. Very nice :)
Do you guys think those two polishes look similar? The china glaze one is waaaay darker, of course, but the glitter...
Like I said, if anyone could give me pointers as so making a duochrome - much appreciated. Thanks!

Gotta love Hong Kong


Goodies! I have loads of new stuff off eBay which took ages to arrive (fair enough, seeing as it's from Hong Kong) but is well worth the wait! First off, a lovely set of five Konad plates. Two are French Manicure ones which are slightly tricky to line up but look great, and the other three are a mixture of flower designs, Chinese characters and the greatest HELLO KITTY plate – yeah baby :P I also have a pink plastic stamper and scraper.
Next, I have a set of twenty five Fimo nail art canes. There are three flower canes in purple, yellow and pink, but the rest are different fruit shapes such as watermelon, apple, bananna, strawberry…list goes on. Good buys seeing as I got the whole lot for much less than seven quid. Expect to have your eyes assaulted by my nail art :P
