Girly-Girl Challenge Day 2 - Gimme That Bling

This is the 2nd mani of the Girly-Girl Challenge, todays is "diamonds are a girls best friend, so put some sparkles on those nails!". I tried out a white nail with silver glitter and diamantés across the tip but I wasn't loving it and I think my nails would need to be longer to do it justice.

And my Dior Waterlily turned up this morning so I was dying to try it out :) I teamed it up with the shiny A-England Saint George and used a needle to swirl the colours together on my nails. I added Nostalgic's Underground and some little crystals on my ring finger.

Girly-Girl Challenge Day 1 - Think Pink :)

This is the first mani for my first challenge (see previous post for details)
The idea for today is Think Pink - wear your favourite pink polish and nail art. I only own 2 pink polishes so that was an easy choice, I had to go with Illamasqua Obsess. Its a gorgeous shade of pink all on its own but I decided to glitz it up a little and added Nostalgic Nail Lacquer Magic Dance on top (I think she is restocking today, weird coincidence)

I then used Barry M Lilac Foil to stamp my ring finger

But I liked it so much I decided to do them all :)

Green Layering Experiment

So the idea was simple, I wanted a mani to match my hair, which was green...sort of :) my hair never goes one shade when I dye it, its now a greeny blue. I went with Bettina Mojito as a base, I love this green, it takes 2 coats for decent coverage but its easy to work with. I then popped on a layer of Max Factor max effects Graffiti to give it a slightly blue tone. I couldn't resist putting on some flakies to liven it up a little, I used Nfu Oh 39, its not a subtle flakie its pretty densely packed but goes on smoothly. And then to top it off I used my newly acquired Nostalgic Underground..

It was so shiny and complex looking, I was happy but I think it was a little too shiny for me so I got out my trusty matte top coat and I loved it even more.

Here it is in the sun:

And in the shade:

And more importantly it matches my hair :) I added some scales to my ring finger.
