Royal Blue Floral - 8 July 2014

8 July 2014

Another floral manicure.  I loved how this turned out. I got this idea from someone on IG, I am sorry I can't remember as it was over a year ago! :( 
But if you know who you are please do tell and I will give credit.

 I may have to re-create this, maybe in another colour and see how that turns out.


Products used + acrylic paint, OPI Nail Envy and Seche Vite not shown.

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.
