My Nail Shaped Watermark

I have been following the blog Nailed It for a while and have always been in awe of her wonderful nail shaped watermark.  Well I emailed her today to ask how she made hers.  Then went back to read her blog, and as I scrolled on down, what tutorial did she have??? One on how to make her famous wonderful watermark!  How spooky!  Anyway I do not have the program she used, however I have PSPX and similar tools and managed to make my own one.
Here is my version, what do you think?  It is still a work in progress and I want to change it a little.  Also not sure if I want to have my blog name or my username?  What do you think?

Pastel Rainbow Sponge

I only wore my blue triangle patch manicure for 3 days. Last night I changed my manicure and this is what I am wearing today.
For this manicure I used:
China Glaze  - White on White - Base Colour
OPI - La Paz-tively Hot - Pink
China Glaze - Peachy Keen - Peach
China Glaze - Lemon Fizz - Yellow
Color Club - Twiggie - Green
China Glaze - Bahamian Escape - Blue
Color Club - Pucci-licious - Purple
China Glaze - Fairy Dust - Glitter top coat
SV - Top Coat

Blue Patch Triangles

I could have worn my last blue manicure for a week as I like the colour so much.  Unfortunately I got bored and decided to do something different, still  sticking to the blue theme.  I saw this here, a beautiful blog by Sofie.  Go check it out.  This my take....

For this manicure I used:
Color Club - Factory Girl - pale blue
Color Club - Pure energy - medium blue
China Glaze - Eyes Like Sapphires - dark blue
Color Club - Sex Symbol - silver base colour
Stripping Tape
SV Top Coat

Blue Bling

After my last one stroke manicure which only lasted about 2-3 days I decided to go a bit plain.  But to jazz it up a little I used a blingy glitter for the ring finger.
I used:
Asos Ciate - Lauren for the base for all nails
Color Club - Sexy Siren for the bling on the ring finger
SV top coat

First Attempt at One Stroke Nail Art

This is my first attempt at doing the one stroke paint technique.  A bit messy and uneven, and I don't think the colours were quite what I wanted.  But you live and learn, next time I will be...... a little bit better?
I used:
Nails Inc - Fashion Fawn for the base
Acrylic paints for the flowers
Seche Vite top coat
