GOT Polish Challenge Part 2 - Week 9 - Lilac Floral

A Day late with week 9 of the GOT2 (Golden Oldie Thursday) Polish challenge over at Crumpet's Nail Tarts. The theme for this week is Lilac.

I teamed my lilac base with some hand painted acrylic floral.  The acrylic paints I used here, I bought about 2 years ago and have only just opened the box to use in this manicure. The violet is so bright and vibrant, it is beautiful.

Items used:
OPI Nail Envy
Barry M - Berry
Acrylic Paint - violet, white and green

GOT Polish Challenge Part 2 - Week 8 - With Bling!

OK, I am really late with this one.

Week 8 of the GOT2 (Golden Oldie Thursday) Polish challenge over at Crumpet's Nail Tarts. The theme for this week was With Bling.

I think I managed that and then some.  I did a sponge gradient and was going to just glitter two accent nails, but before I knew it, I had "blinged" all of them!  To add even more bling, I added some rhinestones, metal studs and caviar beads to my ring accent finger.

Items used:

OPI Nail Envy

for gradient cuticle to free edge:

PIA - No. 14

Nails Inc - Fashion Fawn and Jermyn Street

LA Girl Glitter - Live on Stage

Mixed rhinestones, studs and caviar beads

SIMPLES - Week 1 - Accent Nail and InStyle Nails Inc Freebie

I have joined a new group on Facebook organised by The Crumpet herself, its called SIMPLES: Nail Art from Muggle to Mastery.  It's main aim is to master various nail art techniques.

For the first week (I am very late with this one) the learning objective was the Accent Nail.  This time using glitter polish. The glitter I used is more a fine/micro glitter lacquer rather than your normal more pronounced glitter.
I also used the free Nails Inc nail polish I got with the June issue of InStyle magazine.
