Tickled Peach!

A few days of wearing my gorgeous (imo) purple french manicure I took it off to do this one.  I just got the urge to change!  This took all of about 15/20 minutes to do.  I used acrylic paint for all of it, and top coat to seal and finish.  In my opinion though I think it could have done with two coats of TC. I think the acrylic paint almost seemed to soak up the top coat, therefore note for next time, two coats of top coat.
This manicure also tied in well with Thursday 23 May, as it was Peter Pan dress up day at school.  We were raising money for GOSH as one of our students has been there since December, I went as Tiger Lily!



Items Used:
OPI Nail Envy
NYC Top Coat
Acrylic Paint - various colours
Sponge

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 14 - Flowers

Day 14 (week 14) of the ER31DC - Flowers.  This is my flower design.  I did this a few weeks ago, I absolutely loved the colour combination.  I wore it for about 5/6 days, I did not want to take it off.  I also got to use my new Sally Hansen polishes that I bought from Fragrance Direct.  Great application, I found the brush a little tricky as I have not used this type of flat brush before.  Having said that, once I had done a few coats I soon got the hang of it and found the application quite easy.
Items Used:
OPI Nail Envy
Seche Vite top coat
Sally Hansen - Put on the Black (burgandy)

Blue Animal Print

I am on a catch up mission is the next few days.  I did this manicure way back in May and have only just got round to posting it.  So here it is.  I saw one in pink while looking through pinterest and thought I would have a go in blue.  I did not turn out how I expected.  I got lots of compliments at work though, which is always nice.  Also as you can see on the index finger the black paint smudged, my top coat was a little on the thick and gloopy side and I was too impatient and applied before the paint had dried.
Items Used:
OPI Nail Envy
