OPI Skull and Glossbones

My latest manicure is this lovely combination IMO.  I used OPI Skull and Glossbones from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection and for the ring accent finger I used GOSH Miss Minty.  The combination worked really well.  I love the SnG shade it is just lovely, it reminds me of some other dupes I have from other makes.  I think perhaps a comparison is due?

My Valentine Manicure

I wasn't going to do anything too intricate or any nail art for valentines day, but I gave in and came up with something anyway :)  For the base colour I used Villiers Street by Nails Inc. A shimmery red.  I did the hearts using pink and black acrylic paint.  All topped off with a generous coat of SV and voila......

Warm nails for the Freezing Weather.

Last week I wore this warming manicure.  For the ring accent finger I wore the charming Poptastic by Color Club and then did a leopard print with acrylic paints.  For the rest of the manicure I wore China Glaze - Oh How Street It is, a hot vibrant orange.  And boy did I need this manicure.  We have had snow and freezing weather to contend with here in the UK.  At lease this manicure made me feel warmer.

Gone Totally Dotty!

Still with the dotty theme, this is my latest manicure.  For the base colour I used Where's the Soiree by Color Club, a creme black which dries with a satin finish.  I then went a bit dotty and added dots just to the ends of my nails and for the ring finger - all over.  Topped it with a coat of SV for shine.

Dotty Check Pattern

More nail art on my nails for this week.  I saw this originally on a white base with black dots and it looked awesome.  But I wanted a different slant on it so went pink.  I used OPI Japanese Rose Garden for the base and then used Victoria by ASOS Ciate Pots for the dots.  Topped off with a generous layer of Seche Vite.
I am quite pleased with the effect.
