I am back!

I have been AWOL from my blog for quite sometime now.  Summer holidays happened and I just did holiday stuff and had family time out.

I did not however stop painting my nails so have lots of manicures to share.

This one I did WAY back in June.  I found this manicure by the DailyPolish and this is my not so good take on it.  More practice is needed in painting flowers!

Items used:
OPI Nail Envy

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 19 - Galaxy

Day 19 (week 19) of the ER31DC - Galaxy.
I have never attempted a Galaxy manicure, this is a first.  I wasn't sure if I would be able to pull it off.  I studied several tutorials and they all looked so easy.  I chose all my colours and off I set and actually once I started it was quite easy and I am very pleased with the final effect.  My favourite nails has to be the ring finger.

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 18 - Half Moon

Day 18 (week 18) of the ER31DC - Half Moon.

I am a few weeks behind in this challenge.  I have had this one and week 18 ready for ages, but just not had the time to post.  I hope to catch up in the next few weeks.
I did the half moons different sizes and I think the effect was quite good.  This is the first time of me using the Invogue feather effect polish purchased from Fragrance Direct.  I did this manicure late at night and in hindsight I think it could have done with another coat, but overall I was still pleased with the result.
