Red Gradient Sponge and Flowers

Other than doing my daughters nails or my own I have never done anyone else's.  This is the first manicure I have done on someone else.  I had shown her my green sponge manicure a few days ago and she loved it. So I asked her to come over on Friday and I did her nails.  Again not fantastic photos but IRL the nails looked good.  I used ASOS Paints Blake for the cuticle area, OPI Red for the mid section and China Glaze Thunderbird for the tips, I used some Nail stickers to finish the look she wanted.  Topped off with SV for a shiny finish.

Free Nail Polish with In Style Magazine

In Style Mink and In Style Beach.

I managed to get two Nails Inc polishes with In Style Magazine this week. There were three shades to choose from, A dark coral red, beige and a pink shade.

The first shop I went into they had the coral red and pink. As I have so many pinks, I decided to give that one a miss. I really only wanted the beige but since they did not have it, I went for the coral red.

The next day I sent my dearest DH hunting the beige for me in London! But later same day I popped into Sainsburys, who did not have the magazine, so I went to the Newsagent a short walk away, and hey presto, found the beige shade. I had to then frantically text DH not to bother looking as I had found what I wanted.

As it happens DH later told me that there were plenty of the red and pink shades in the magazines, but some had been filleted, and we are assuming this was the beige shade? Who knows?

Anyway, this is my manicure on my short nails today with the Beige colour, called In Style Mink.

They are a bit chipped as have been helping DH with the last of the clearing of the garden weeds and cut backs.
