CND Vinylux Salmon Run - 12 Oct 2015

Not a very good application on this manicure.  I should have gone with 3 thin coats I probably only did two, and very badly at that!  I have a thing for peachy colours, and I waited quite a few months until this shade was back in stock.

Maroon Butterfly Water Decal - 8 October 2015

On to October now, nearly there!

I've had this OPI colour for absolutely ages. Don't wear it enough, so here it is with matching butterfly water decal on ring finger for an accent nail.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas Challenge Collage - Part 1

In October I began a new nail art challenge set up by Debbie of Crumpet’s Nail Tarts. Its called '40 Great Nail Art Ideas'. The very first prompt was all about hobbies, and you can see my first post here.

The challenge will run for a year and on alternate weeks we have different prompts.

One week it is theme only and the next week it is a theme and a personal pattern prompt.

Grey, Blue and Glitter - 30 September 2015

Two Essie colours here, I loved this on, so elegant.  The blue accent nail is a textured one coater, I applied a coat of SV to smooth it out.

Dusky Rose Stamping - 28 September 2015

I have several stamping plates but I am not good with them at all. So, as you will see from many previous posts, I stick to water decals or freehand art.  But I have to say that this turned out OK.
