Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 19 - Galaxy

Day 19 (week 19) of the ER31DC - Galaxy.
I have never attempted a Galaxy manicure, this is a first.  I wasn't sure if I would be able to pull it off.  I studied several tutorials and they all looked so easy.  I chose all my colours and off I set and actually once I started it was quite easy and I am very pleased with the final effect.  My favourite nails has to be the ring finger.

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 18 - Half Moon

Day 18 (week 18) of the ER31DC - Half Moon.

I am a few weeks behind in this challenge.  I have had this one and week 18 ready for ages, but just not had the time to post.  I hope to catch up in the next few weeks.
I did the half moons different sizes and I think the effect was quite good.  This is the first time of me using the Invogue feather effect polish purchased from Fragrance Direct.  I did this manicure late at night and in hindsight I think it could have done with another coat, but overall I was still pleased with the result.
Items used:
OPI Nail Envy
Seche Vite Top Coat

Apologies for being away for so long (a month OMG).  Been busy with work and home life and wow the heat here in the UK has just been too much!

I will share some of my manicures that I have worn in the last month and a half or so in the next few days. You might be bombarded with a lot!

Here is one I did back in May, two months ago!
