Hello! 🙂

blue white and silver flowers
For todays pick and mix challenge I have used both prompts! Pale Blue and Flowers! 😀

medium size dotting tool
For this look I used
- Azure – Rimmel London
- Tea Bird – Filthy Gorgeous
- Snow Me White – Sinful Colors
- Oyster Bar – Sally Hansen, Triple Shine
- Matte Finisher – E.L.F
- Seche Vite
- Medium Dotting Tool
- Fine Nail Art Brush
Over the two coats of azure, I applied Snow Me White to the tips of my nails, then I used Oyster Bar to cover the edge (I didn’t use any tip guides so the lines where a bit wobbly).
For the flowers I used a medium sized dotting tool with some more Azure and Snow Me white, then a little dot of Tea Bird in the center.
I then finished it off with a coat of Seche Vite, then when that had dried a coat of Matte Finisher.

Hello! 🙂

Patchwork Flesh Halloween Nails
Today I have some Halloween nails inspired by the… Ummm… Sewing skills of Ed Gein and the fictional Buffalo Bill from Silence Of The Lambs.

Skin Suit Nails
- Butter London – Yummy Mummy
- O.P.I – Tickle My France-y
- Ciate – Pocket Money
- Color Club – Nomadic In Nude
- Revlon – Emerald City
- Sinful Colors – Inkwell
- Color Club – Earthy Angel
- Barry M – Nail Art Pen Black
- E.L.F – Matte Finisher
- Seche Vite
I started out with a couple of coats of Tickle My France-y, then I added the patches of the other nude colours. When it was dry I used the nail art pen to add the stitches then applied a coat of Seche Vite.
Then with a tiny piece of sponge I added a mixture of Inkwell and Emerald City mixed with topcoat over the stitches to give it a bit more of a ‘dried out skin’ look!

Hello 🙂

Matte Damask Nails
I received my order of a few stamping plates from Born Pretty a couple of days ago and I couldn’t wait to try them out!
My package arrived a lot faster than I was expecting, I ordered four stamping plates, some french tip guides and some random water decals.
The plate I used today is QA90 and you can find it here.

Pelican Gray, Diamond Lurex, matte top coat
I used Pelican Grey from China Glaze as the base colour, then added a coat of Diamond Lurex form L’oreal.
For the stamp I used Konad SP Black and my marshmallow stamper. I followed that with a coat of Seche Vite, and then a coat of E.L.F matte finisher.
I think I have lost any ability I had (if I had any at all lol) to get the images lined up and even across all my nails… I guess I just need more practice! 😀

Matte Damask Nails
I do love sparkly matte nails! 😀

Here’s my Inspired by a book mani, I may be cheating a bit by using imagery from the cover, But I honestly couldn’t have come up with anything better than this! lol

Frankenstein – Mary Shelly
The polishes I used are
- Nails Inc – Leather Effect Noho
- Revlon – Black Magic
- Chanel – Dragon
- E.L.F – Matte Finisher
- Barry M – Silver Nail Art Pen

This is the first time I have used one of the Leather effect polishes from Nails Inc, I really like the subtle texture of this polish but I found the formula to be quite thick and it took ages to dry.

The red polish is Dragon from Chanel, this polish seems to have turned into my go to red!
For the castle I used a thin brush it paint the image over two coats of black Magic from Revlon, then I added the little windows with the Barry M Silver Nail Art Pen. when it was dry I added the E.L.F matte topcoat.

For the lightning and the stitches I used the silver nail art pen, I didn’t add any topcoat so I wouldn’t cover the texture of the leather polish.

GOT Polish Pastel
Here are my Pastel nails for today’s GOT Polish Challenge!

For this I decided to have a try at water spotted nails and it was surprisingly easy! 😀 The Polishes I used are Lathering Lilac which is another of the free ones (that I haven’t used) from Bizzybee and Pink Flamingo from Barry M
I started with two coats of Lathering Lilac, when that was dry I used Pink flamingo for the water spotting. I have to say it’s a really fun technique, loads easier than water marbling!
Then when that was dry I applied a coat of color club top coat, then a final coat of Matte Finisher from Elf
