Patchwork Manicure.........

 .......... Gone Wrong.

I should have left my nails alone. But nope, I thought "how hard could it be?"  Well it was hard, Chloe, hats off to you, you are a master at this.  Mine just looked messy and just not right at all.  If I had applied the black and left it at that, it looked great, but adding the other green, it just did not work for me. This will go down as a disaster manicure for me unfortunately.  But I am not going to give up, I will give it another go!  But for now, off with the polish, file down and shape those nails (been growing out splits) and re-polish a-fresh.

LA Girl - Can U Dig It?

I have a new colour on today.  I got this a few weeks ago from Cherry Culture. It is from the Disco collection by LA Girl.  It is a lovely lime green colour, just the reminder I need that Spring is on its way, especially today with the sun shining.  Anyway this is called Can U Dig It?  It was very sheer and I put on two thick coats (really should have been 3 even coats but hey no).  None-the-less it is still gorgeous.  The photo's are showing a slightly lighter shade, in real life it is just ever so slightly brighter.

OPI - I've "Red" The Script

Today I am wearing another one of my un-trieds.  I got this about a year ago.  It is by OPI and is called I've "Red" the Script.  It is lovely red with a slight blue tone to it.  It went on lovely although I must admit for my nails the wide brush, is not so good.  It was almost opaque in two coats (I should have done three but couldn't be bothered!). It is topped off with OPI top coat.

LA Girl - Matte Blue Twilight

Mid week I changed my manicure from the Valentines to this one.  I love blue and had this in my un-worn box since last year!  Over my Nail envy this is two coats of LA Girl Matte Blue Twilight.  I only left is Matte on my ring finger and put a shiny coat of OPI top coat on the others.
In this last photo however I thought I would jazz it up just a tad.  I used Deep Blue Ocean by Sinful Colors.  This is in a jelly base which is blue with multitone blue glitter/flakes in it.

My Valentine's Day Manicure

A BIG thanks to Colette .  Totally loved her design and I thought would give it a go on my shorter nails.  I used OPI Decked out in Red and the white NYC i134A.
