GOT polish? Freestylin'!

Hi!

Sorry I've not posted for a few days, technology has not been on my side! For this week's Golden Oldie Thursday we could do what the hell we wanted, so I did! Actually the base was a brand spanking new Barry M Summer Ltd Edition from Boots called Bikini, a lovely perriwinkle blue, my "oldies" were the stamping polishes and the glitter. I stamped peacock feathers (I rather like peacock feathers, in case you didn't know!) using Color Club Perfect Mol-ten, Cold Metal and Hot Like Lava from the Foiled collection, and the glitter gradient tips were done with Icing Lemme See Your Peacock. The stamping plate was MoYou Pro 03, and Nails Craze NC01 on the thumb. Loved this mani, perfectly me.

I'm currently sporting a gel polish pedi, but when it comes off I think something similar to this will be replacing it! It'll match my tattoo nicely ;)

33 Day Challenge day 27 - 3 patterns!

Hello!

Today's challenge was to incorporate 3 patterns into your manicure, and I went with classic dots, stripes and random splodges! I used black as a base and Color Club Molten Metals for the patterns, and then mattefied it! I think the effect was quite striking, even if the execution wasn't fantastic...

33 Day Challenge day 21 - Europe!

Morning!

As soon as I saw the prompt for today, I knew I wanted to do Moulin Rouge/Paris inspired nails. You know what having a solid idea in your head means, in my case anyway. Fail. It's not too bad, but the stamping didn't come out as well as I hoped. I used A-England Bridal Veil as my base, which is a lovely polish but mine has a bad brush, which should have been an omen for the rest of the mani I guess. The accent is Sally Hansen Gem Crush Lady Luck and stamped with Color Club Hot Like Lava (and freehand stripes), with a mix of Bundle Monster and Pueen plates. I wish the stamping had come out as vibrant as the stripes, or that I'd used a stamp for the stripes so that they matched. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, non?

I'll definitely try this again, with a more opaque stamping polish. I need to find a good red for over black...
