Hello 🙂
I’ve almost caught up with the 52 week pick and mix challenge! Yay! 😀
Gravestone Nails
From last weeks two prompts I chose to use just the Non US brand of polish.
This is Tomb. Tomb is part of the 2014 Halloween collection from the lovely UK indie brand Tara’s Talons
Tomb
Tomb is a Grey Jelly base with loads of mixed pink and purple glitters along with holographic micro glitter!
I absolutely love this polish! It’s all of my favorite polish colours in one bottle! 😀 Look at that holo sparkle! Oh and It looks so squishy!
Moyou Gothic Collection 04
I couldn’t resist doing a little stamping over this, with a name like Tomb it needed some gravestones!
The image is from Moyou Gothic Collection 04 and for some reason the stamping was not working 😦 this was the third try, and I’d had enough so I just tried to tidy it up a bit with my Barry M Nail Art Pen…
Couldn’t resist adding the gravestones.
At least they look like gravestones now rather than a dreadful mess lol! 🙂

Hi! 🙂
Metallic stripey roses
Today I have another 52 week pick and mix (catch up) mani to show you, the prompts for that week (beginning 2nd March) are Metallic and Ikat…
I’m really not a fan of Ikat nails so for this post I’m just using the metallic prompt.
close up!
The two Metallic polishes I used are Artemis (purple) and Aglaia (teal) from the 2true Metallica Collection.
I started off with a coat of Aglaia, then when it was dry I applied the striping tape to my nails (and my desk and the floor and even my keyboard :/)Â and added a coat of Artemis.
Removed the tape and applied a coat of Seche Vite.

The stamping plate is Moyou Pro XL 07 and I used Konad Black Stamping Polish.
The roses are my favorite images on this plate! 🙂

The two polishes I used for this are Sally Hansen Ruby Stiletto and Revlon Stiletto I only noticed the polish names after I had finished lol!

Hey everyone! Long time to see! 🙂
Illamasqua Velocity, Swarm and Scorn
I have been so busy the past couple of weeks I haven’t had a chance to post anything 
But more on that later.
Todays post is a catch up mani for the 52 week pick and mix challenge! So here are my Geometric nails! 🙂
Tape!
The polishes I used for this are Velocity the pinky lilac shade, Swarm which is the black glitter in clear a base and the black polish is called Scorn. I used tape to mask off the bits of my nail!
I think it would have been a lot quicker to create if I had applied quick drying topcoat between the layers of polish!

The last couple of weeks have been rather busy, I’ve spent most of it covered in mud, compost and seeds, my little home is filled with mud and plants, every surface seems to be covered in pots and germinating seeds…After all the planting my poor hands have been in such a state.
Hopefully everything has calmed down a bit now so I can get back to posting regularly! 😀

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.
Azure, Tea Bird, Oyster Bar and Snow Me White
