A little bit late, but here are my animal print nails for day 13!
Zebra Print Nails!
I have to say that this looks much better in real life! My nails look very washed out in these pictures.
I started with A couple of coats of Shabby Drab from Color Club, Purple toned grey polishes make me very happy! and this one is no exception! 😀
The stamping plate is Pro Collection XL 04 from Moyou. I used some more Shabby Drab along with a couple of drops of Artemis from 2True for the stamped images, It was quite difficult to see what I was doing with the gradient, the 2True polish sunk under the Color Club so I couldn’t tell how much purple I had picked up!
Purple Grey Zebra Nails
I’m definitely going to try this again, probably with a leopard print, or snake print… Thinking about it I don’t think I have ever used my snakey stamps… I really have to do something about that! 😀

Stamped metallic gradient
Here are my metallic nails for day 8!
For this I used Dazzle from Orly, Black Magic from Revlon and Konad SP black.
I started with a couple of coats of Dazzle, then I created the gradient using Black Magic and a make up sponge.
The using some more Dazzle and konad SP in black I stamped the image over the gradient!
I finished it off with a coat of color club topcoat!
Metallic Nails
This didn’t turn out quite as crisp as I was hoping, but it’s nice enough! 🙂

Black and White skittle
My Black and White nails, I couldn’t resist another skittle for this! 😀
The Polishes I used are,
- China Glaze White on White
- Elegant Touch French Manicure White
- Sally Hansen Pure Midnight
- Filthy Gorgeous Twilight
- L’Oreal Confettis
- Konad SP Black
My first step was to paint all my nails with two coats of White on White.
For my thumb I used Twilight and White on White. Starting with a simple french tip, (I used a guide) I added the first dots with a medium dotting tool, then with a thin brush I filled in the gaps, then added the second dots with a small sized dotting tool.
For my index finger over the White on White I used Konad Black with Suki 06 XL plate from Moyou.
Black and White skittle
On my middle finger I used French Manicure White, Pure Midnight and Twilight for the sponged gradient, it took three layers before it was ‘gradienty’ enough then I added the Confettis, I found the brush for the glitter topcoat was rather scratchy, I don’t know if it was bits of glitter in the brush or the brush itself, it scraped some of my gradient 😦
For the water marble I used French Manicure White and Twilight. Both of these polishes worked really well, they even spread over the water at the same rate! 😀
Finally for my little finger I used some more Twilight and a medium dotting tool!
Then when it was dry I applied my topcoat and had a cup of tea!

Orange with bats
For my Orange nails I have a Halloween mani to show you 🙂
I really couldn’t work out what to do for my nails today. I don’t like orange nail polish, I don’t hate it, I just don’t like it. I feel the same way about yellow nail polish, I don’t like that either.
As I don’t actually own any “orange” nail polish, I decided to use the same polishes from my GOT polish challenge orange water marble mani, you can find that Here.
Halloween nails
I started with a couple of coats of East Austin from Color Club, then using the cling film technique I applied Roguish Red from China Glaze. to make the orange coloured background.
For the bats I used Konad SP in black with plate 10 from the Moyou Suki collection.
I finished it off with Color Club topcoat, there is a little bit of shrinking but it’s not too bad. 🙂

My red nails for Day 1
Red Butterflies
I started with a couple of coats of Ruby Stilletos from Sally Hansen. This is a really lovely polish, it’s a bright red with loads of red glitter! The butterflies are from Moyou stamping plate Pro Collection XL 05, using Rouge Noir from Chanel. Then finished it off with a coat of Color Club Topcoat.
The Right way round!
This is the first time I have tried a red on red stamp and I really like the result 🙂
Hmmm what to do for tomorrow’s nails?….

Fantasy Fire Roses
This is my 100th post 😀 Yay!
So today I have a Polish to show you that I keep meaning to get my grubby paws on and haven’t, until yesterday! That polish is Fantasy Fire from Max Factor!
It really is a stunning polish! it’s a mid shade purple gelly with loads of Duo-chrome micro glitter.
Moyou Pro 07
Annoyingly I was having a really hard time with the stamping 
it just didn’t want to work, this was my third attempt lol
Anyway, I used:
- Fantasy Fire – Max Factor
- Good to Grape – Sally Hansen
- Black – Konad Special Polish
- Color Club Topcoat
I started with two coats of Good to Grape, It’s a really nice light purple but it takes ages to dry when it was eventually dry I added two thin coats of fantasy fire. For the roses I used Moyou Pro plate 07 XL
Fantasy Fire! So Sparkly!
