BFF - Punk

The 5th instalment of the BFF Challenge bought to you this week as chosen by Bec of lacquer dreams.

This was quite a challenge to start with as all I could think of was the Mohican hair.  But my DH came to the rescue and showed me some punk fashion, and reminded me that tartan was a big influence.

So my inspiration for this challenge is the tartan trousers punks wore.  This manicure I have to say I am very pleased with, it turned out just as I had imagined it.
Items used:
Asos Paint by Ciate - Lauren - Blue base
LA Colors - Art deco blue glitter
Acrylic Paint - Black and white
Seche Vite

BFF - Book Cover Inspiration

Hello, this is the 4th instalment of the BFF challenge.

This is my 2nd pick - a manicure inspired by a book/book cover


I must admit I don't get much time to read these days at all.  But I do read to my youngest at bedtime.  So I took inspiration from the last book I read to him, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.


I chose Mr Wonka in his bright purple suit, brown bow tie, and in the film Gene Wilder's frilly shirt.  Apologies for crappy pictures, but I didn't have enough time for this one.
 
Items Used:
OPI -  (tbc)    - purple
Acrylic paint

BFF - Striping Tape Challenge

Hello, this is the 3rd instalment of the BFF challenge.

This was my 1st pick - a manicure using striping tape.

I had a certain idea in my head and it looked better in there.  But once I finished it was nothing like I pictured it.  Having said that this was done after a good Zumba class, I sat in bed a t 9pm last night, took just over an hour to do, and the results:
