Orange Rose Skittlette

3 July 2014

Shortened and re-shaped nails.
3 July, my youngest turned 11 today. So these nails were to celebrate his birthday and mine in two days time.
I really liked how these turned out.  Could have possibly done another coat on the thumb and pointer but hey-ho. :)


A close up of my hand-drawn roses.

 Another arty pose :)

Products used, including OPI Nail Envy as base and Seche Vite top coat not shown here.

Lime Green Diagonal French - 30 June 2014

30 June 2014

Nails have grown so much here.  A simple diagonal french manicure.  Using OPI Electric Eel for the base and an un-named Nicole by OPI lime green for the french.  Black acrylic paint to define it a bit more.


Roses on Blue - 26 June 2014

26 June 2014


Hand painted roses on China Glaze For Audrey base.  Acrylic paint for the roses and leaves.

A picture of my naked nails.  On the pointer I have a slight split, this lasted ages. Just could not get rid of it!

Pink and White Spotty Dotty - 24 June 2014

24 June 2014

A simple spotty manicure here. Using Sally Hansen Ballet Rouges as the main colour and Barry M Matt White on the ring finger. Finished off with Born Pretty Store Super Matte topcoat


I wish I had been a bit more consistent with the dots, should have done them all the same size.  I prefer the smaller dots.

Blue Tartan - 16 June 2014

Blue Tartan - 16 June 2014

Using China Glaze Bahamian Escape as the main base colour and Nanacoco White as Snow on the ring finger. Acrylic paint was used to make the tartan lines.
 Not happy with the ring finger lines, a bit wonky near the free edge.
