Purple and Turquoise Nails

I did a little nail art this week.  Colours used are China Glaze Flyin' High and Coconut Kiss.  The photos are crappy, apologies for that but the weather is awful and I may need a new camera.  Nothing seems to focus :o(
Nonetheless I like the final effect and got lots of compliments at school, so am happy.

Black and Pink Polka Dots and Lace

Although it was Thursday night and only one more day at work left, I had to change my manicure! My purple me up magnetic polish was chipping and it had to go!  So I wore this on my nails for Friday.  Have to admit not my own design, it is something I saw last weekend on a Korean site and replicated on mine.  Lots of compliments from colleagues and school children alike.  I like it too, very feminine.

The Saturdays Magnetic Nail Polish - Purple Me Up

I have had these since before Christmas but have only just worn this first one of five this week.  The application was fine, although with the second coat you have to work fairly quickly with the magnet.  Other than that, nice. This manicure though only lasted about four days as it chipped and flaked on the fifth.  That could just be because my hands are always in water, washing up, knocking the nails etc etc.  Still nice shade and effect.  This, as stated in the title is Purple Me Up, a dark purple shade with paler "Waves" caused by the magnet.

1st Manicure of the Year

I used two main colours for my 2012 New Year nails.  Both by Color Club, Best Dressed List and She's So Glam.  The glitter and flakie used were Rainbow by Gosh and Pinky Glitter by Sinful Colors.  The firework effects were done using acrylic paints.  I love the result.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year.  May 2012 be a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous year for everyone. xx
