Catherine Arley - 677

13 JULY 2011
A lovely pink, not as holographic as I expected but nevertheless, it was beautiful.  I had this on for 5 days!

Blue Sponge Gradient

A favourite manicure technique of mine.  Sponging, so easy and quick.  Normally I would do this lighter colour at the cuticle working to a darker shade to the nail tip.  I did it the other way round this time.  I used Sinful Color - Whats your name for the darkest shade, in the middle it is China Glaze - Blue Sparrow (neon)  and for the tips China Glaze - Bahamian Escape.  Topped off with SV for a smooth shiny effect.

 

 

Color Club - She's So Glam...

5 July 2011 - My Birthday Manicure
... and my nails certainly felt glam.  This was just the colour I needed after my last manicure which I did not like much at all.  But this certainly cheered me up no end.  Although the end product looks good, it was a pain to apply, really streaky and bald patches if you went over a brush stroke.  But I soon learnt what not to do and I was happy with two coats to get this rich opaque bubblegum pink.

Catherine Arley 806

Another Catherine Arley lacquer to share with you today.  This is number 806, a burnt orange shade. Just subtle holographic in this one.  I have to say it is not the sort of colour I would go for.  It doesn't do anything for my skin tone but I did not want to take it off, so I added some nail stickers.
