Kiss Me I'm Irish!

I'm sure you've had your fill of St Patrick's day manicures, but I'll share mine with you anyway! I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, but it needed to include some stamping to fit with Adventures in Stamping's Sunday stamping prompt, so I went for some green and gold skittles. The main colour is Barry M Spring Green. Then I added OPI The Man With The Golden Gun to my little finger, stamped with Barry M Gold foil and Bndle Monster 303 on my ring and index. On my middle finger and thumb I did a reciprocal gradient (see Globe and Nail for the original tutorial) with Spring Green, Nails Inc Spring Mews and China Glaze Holly-Day. I did think of adding some gold, maybe a fine gold glitter, to tie it in with the rest of the nails, but I was so chuffed I'd managed to do it without effing up that I thought I'd better leave it. If it ain't broke and all that...

So that was my obligatory green mani for the year! I do actually have some Irish heritage, so you can kiss me if you like ;) 

Tomorrow, I'm starting on a new challenge, with Miss Crumpet's lovely nail tarts again. We're starting the Tri-Polish challenge- using the same 3 polishes for 4 different manicures in a month...this month's colours are coral, green and purple...wish me luck!

New 31 day challenge, day 3 - gold

Hi everyone!

I mist have been a good girl last year, because I was lucky enough to get OPI The Man With the Golden Gun 18k gold topcoat from Father Christmas (well, ok, Mr NN, but he is rather rotund...), so of course when the challenge called for gold, I had to use it. I used China Glaze Aquadelic as the base, with 2 coats of TMWTGG, and stamped a cutesy bow on the accent nail. I loved this mani and couldn't stop looking at it!

I think this is one of my favourite combinations ever. Love!

You might have noticed I've added a cheeky little Born Pretty Store discount code in the right hand sidebar! I'm working on a review post with more details, so look out for that soon ;)
