I have to say this Mani looks much more sparkly in real life, It’s really difficult to capture it with a camera!

Pick and Mix Challenge

Hello! 🙂

Pick and Mix Brown and Book

Pick and Mix Brown and Book

The prompts for this weeks pick and mix challenge mani are Brown And Book. I really had a hard time thinking of something to combine the prompts!

I decided on trying illuminated manuscript (it’s close enough to a book)!

An illuminated manuscript is a parchment or book where the page is decorated with silver, gold and other dyes.

If your interested here’s the wikipedia page on illuminated Manuscripts. 🙂

Wild and Yellow – Pick and Mix

Hey 😀

Tiger Stripe Nails

Tiger Stripe

For this weeks Pick and Mix the prompts are Yellow and Wild Animals!

Blow Illamasqua and My Private Rainbow ILNP

Blow Illamasqua and My Private Rainbow ILNP

Blow from Illamasqua is a pale yellow cream, It’s been in my untried pile for one reason… It’s yellow! the polish itself is really lovely, it’s opaque in two coats and dried quickly to a really glossy finish, but it’s yellow and I just can’t get excited about it :/

My ILNP Order arrived today so I had to have a play! I added a thin coat of My Private Rainbow (l+s) over the Illamasqua polish, Oh it’s so pretty! But my camera once again (gah!) decided that it wasn’t going to show the lovely holographic sparkles!

Pick and Mix – Three Shades Of Blue

Hello! 🙂

Night Watch, Scarab and Noble

Night Watch, Scarab and Noble

Here are my three shades of blue nails for this weeks Pick and Mix challenge!

Three Shades Of Blue Water Marble Night Watch, Scarab and Noble

Blue!

the Polishes I used are Noble from Illamasqua, this is the light blue cream and it’s been in my untried pile for far too long! Scarab is the blue shimmer, and it’s a Sally Hansen Lustre Shine. Night Watch is also from Sally Hansen and that’s the dark blue!

Three Shades Of Blue Water Marble Night Watch, Scarab and Noble

Yay! Water Marble!

I decided to go with chucking the polish into the cup and giving it a mix, rather than going with a pattern 🙂


Black and Glitter Stripes Half Moon Mani!

Black and Glittery Half Moon Nails

Lava and Twilight

For this I used two coats of Sally Hansen Lava from the Lustre Shine collection, Filthy Gorgeous Twilight, quite a lot of striping tape and some french tip guides (I used the pointy shaped ones rather than the round ones!)

so sparkly!

Even though this took a quite a while, the striping tape was not cooperating, I really like this look, and I’ll definitely have to try this with different colours! 😀
