Oh mon dieu its the rather awesome 31 day challenge -Day 11 Stripes

Hi girlies and welcome to my day 11 entry for the Oh mon dieu its the rather awesome 31 day challenge! Today I went with my glequins to create the stripes as none of my stripes actually looked like stripes!!

(These photos aren’t good! I couldn’t capture the glequins because the nail polish colour and glequin colour was too similar!)

I think you can just about see them!

Birthday Nails!

Hi all! I have done two lots of lovely birthday nails today for my friends. Both manis are to match a dress.

The first is a floral/butterfly mani.
The dress this is inspired by has blue and pink flowers with black butterflies.

The second is a nautical mani.
The dress is this is inspired by is royal blue, so I thought a nautical theme would suit.

As you can tell from the pictures I have used a range of techniques and polishes; glequins, Barry M nail art pens, dotting tools, feather polish and glitter gradient.

What do you think of these birthday manis?

Glequin Half Mani

So I loved my ring finger on my last mani that much that I had to recreate it and mix it up a bit!

I chose a base of Glints of Glinda – Opi, and a glittery black from Avon .

I then chose a variety of coloured glequins to put on each hand.

This is what I came up with:

So I have red, emerald, baby pink, electric blue and lime glequins; different nail, different colour.

This mani didn’t take long considering all my glequins. I love it! It feels glamorous and sparkly.

What do you think?

Ooh La La Nail Organisation

Hi everyone! I have added more to my nail collection and am quickly running out of places to put things!

My polish box is becoming overcrowded and now I have several bags on the go too. How do you store all your nail goodies?

Updated 3D Mani

I updated my last mani because of my last 3D flower disaster at work! So this is my updated mani so I don’t unintentionally ruin it like last time!

Another stamping plate victory for Amy wuhoo!

Birthday Nails!

Hi beauties, thank you all for your super birthday nails suggestions!

I went with a mix of the suggestions, all except animal print. I used Pocket Money Polishes suggestion of Barry M ‘Lychee’, Elise’s suggestion of birthstone nails and Helen’s party glitter idea.

This is what I came up with…

I chose to do a glitter gradient like I have done previously on the lychee polish because it works so well with the dress I plan to wear! I would have preferred to do a silver glitter gradient ideally because there are silver sequins on my dress, but I still haven’t found the perfect silver for gradients!

My glequin nail is emerald green – my birthstone.

It’s not too different to my previous pedi really. What do you think?

Nail Challenge Day 20: Border Mani

Hi all welcome to my take on day 20 in Julie’s 30 day challenge today the theme is border mani.

The most obvious choice for me here was to use glequins-you all know I love them!! I used a models own polish and just chose two feature nails to create a border on with my glequins.
