Catch Up Time.... Update on Rumple's Wiggin'

 ....... Internet has been back but been trying to catch up with other stuff so nails and blogging has sadly been ignored.  But I am back and would like to show what I wore over the last two weeks or so.

My last manicure, I absolutely loved, but I jazzed it up a little bit more, using my sticky back plastic.  This is the result.... for the stripes I used an OPI shade, but I can't remember the name!

Woo Hoo - got internet back!

Not been on since Thursday of last week.  Our Internet was off, or rather the provider turned it off as there was noise on the line but did not bother telling us!  The only reason we have it back is because we complained about it!

Anyway will post again soon.  Off to catch up on what my fellow bloggers have been up to since.

OPI - Rumple's Wiggin'

Another change of manicure (2nd of the week!) as I got bored with my last one after just a day!
This time I am sporting a pale purple/lavender creme shade - Rumple's Wiggin' by OPI.  This is two thin coats, and I think, no, know, if I had taken just a bit more time, it could have been perfect had I applied it just a little bit more thickly.  But having said that it was opaque in the two coats I applied.  On my ring finger I did a taped off design, and here I used Overdose from the LA Girl Rock Star collection, a purple/blue/pink glitter in a clear base.  All topped off with a coat of Seche Vite.

I Cherish This China Glaze!

Today I am sporting a lovely shimmery green and black on my nails.  I must admit it took an age to prepare, almost half hour! that is long for me.  Anyway the end result was worth it as I have had lots of compliments on this manicure today.
I would however like to apologise for the dry skin around my fingers, I did my cuticles this weekend using Blue Cross.  This product is great on removing the hard cuticle skin but it does not agree with the rest of my fingers!  Anyway I did a little funky taped manicure.  I put on just one coat of China Glaze Cherish - (it did not need another) and then a coat of Seche Vite.  Then as you can see in the first picture I placed my cut out sticky back plastic design on the nail and then painted it with LA Girl Obsidian, a lovely black with a slight silver shimmer followed by another coat of SV and voila.

Purple Rain????

The weather is just so awful here at the moment, grey, dull and cold.  So to cheer myself up I changed my nail colour, with a new acquired nail lacquer.  I bought this in my haul delivered last week.  It is the gorgeous sumptuous (IMO) purple by China Glaze - Coconut Kiss.  I am absolutely loving the colour.  This is two coats over OPI Nail Envy topped off with a coat of Seche Vite.

WARNING: PICTURE HEAVY AS I LIKE THIS COLOUR SO MUCH!
