I think this is one of my favourite manis ever! Possibly...I think...there's been so many now! I am rather fond of it though!

Tri Polish Tuesday - April #1 Blue, Pink & Yellow
How is it April already? Not complaining, the sooner summer comes the better! The tri polish colours this month are blue, yellow and pink, which just screamed floral to me so that's what I went with for week one! The base is Barry M Huckleberry (naughty, steaky, gloopy polish, but so pretty!) which I then stamped this script writing from MoYou XL Pro 07 on top of. I have no idea if it says anything, means anything or is from something but it fitted what I wanted here! I then freehanded some flowers using two pinks, Orly Preamp, which I thought would add depth as it is sparkly, but it wasn't enough, so I added OPI Pink Friday accents. The middles of the flowers are Illamasqua Blow. Once I'd topcoated it, I mattefied it too, and it just made it all so much more delicate looking.

Adventures in stamping...sort of...
Hi!
I haven't done an adventures in stamping Sunday challenge for a few weeks. And today I still haven't done one... You see, I had it in my tiny little mind that today's challenge was to use the colours purple and yellow. I got the purple bit right but the yellow turned out to be orange. So here's my totally awesome purple and yellow manicure that doesn't fit with the theme! Yay! I used some fab polishes to make up for it though, Illamasqua Blow, and Barry M Prickly Pear and Plum. Blow is pretty much my perfect yellow, it's thin but not too runny or streaky and although I only used one coat here as the base of my gradient I think it'd be opaque and good to go in two. And it doesn't make my hands look like I've been dead for a month. I stamped a mini cheater print using MoYou Pro 04 and Barry M Gold Foil.
Excuse the tipwear, for some reason that always happens to me with gradients. Bizarre! I promise I will concentrate more on next week's Sunday challenge!
