Silver 'Diamond' Record

Sorry for being awol for a few weeks.  Been busy with work and also had really bad hayfever which is only just not under control.

Anyway I have some manicures to share with you that I have worn over the last few weeks.

This first one was a gem to do.... get it!  anyway I really like how this turned out.  Inspired by this look.  Hope you like my version with silver.

Items used:

Inspired Manicure

I saw this on the Nailed It blog a few days ago and just loved her manicure.
This is my interpretation.  I did not want to do the exact same colours, so I chose pink and the green.  But I think the colours she did work so much better.  Nonetheless I am really pleased with my version too.  Since my last manicure I also cut down my nails.  They were getting too long.  I see from these pics though, I need to shape them still.  Also apologies, cuticles looking worse for ware, on half term so lots of washing!!

 

Items Used:

China Glaze - Sophistication - off white base coat

Nubar - Black Polka Dot 

China Glaze - Turned up Turquoise - green

Color Club - Poptastic - pink

Red, White and Blue Jubilee

These are the nails I wore on the last day of term when we celebrated the Diamond Jubilee at school.  Simple and straight to the point.

Items used:
LA Girl Disco -Disco Fever - Red

La Paz-itively Hot Pink Jubilee

As you may be aware we in the UK have just celebrated Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee.  To mark the occasion I did two jubilee related manicures.
This first one was not so great (the stamping is off on all the nails).  Had it not been for the wonky stamping this would have looked fantastic IMO.  Nonetheless I got some nice comments from the children at school so I was happy.

 

Items used:

ZigZag Taped Gradient

I saw this manicure on this great blog by Mimi of makeupwithdrawal.  I just had to try it out.  I did these nails the night before our school summer fete.  The fete was on the Saturday and I got great comments.  I also ran a stall doing nail art.  It was so hot and windy, I had terrible hayfever as all the tables were out on the school field!  Never mind though, I had great nails.

This was done a few weeks ago and I did not make a note of what colours I used!
