Summery Pastel Paisley

Hi all.

I can't quite believe it's Sunday already - especially as I wanted a chill weekend, and made no plans for Saturday. But I got quite a lot of little to-do items done :]

These nails are from a couple of months back now, after having a few really nice warm days I started just reaching for summery colours, especially pastels.

For this look I patted a purple, yellow, peach and blue over white, and then stamped, I feel like there may have even been a green crellie in there somewhere but I can't remember!

Hope you've all had a nice weekend, I'm going to go and stuff my face with tasty food & probably go and watch the new Transformers movie :]

Mermaid Scales on Models Own - Blueberry Muffin

Happy Thursday!

Still ploughing my way through a back log of photos, and today I have some pretty amazing glitter nails to show you. Now, I have used this combination before in this post, and I did mention this full mani, but the photos today do a better job of showing just how bloody amazing these glitters are.

So pretty even without direct light

And here are some swatches of the lovely Models Own - Blueberry Muffin:

While this scented polish is a really pretty super pale blue, the scent doesn't really last long at all. I've had scented polishes before that last for days with top coat on, but this polish seemed like it only lasted about an hour, and didn't exist after top coat. Bit of a bummer, but the scent was just a plus to the shade for me when I bought this.

Hope you've all had a good week so far :]

Nautical Mix Up - Double Stamp - We Stamp On Sundays

Hey all :]

Happy Tuesday woooo! Not really woo, but I've only got a four day week so i'm looking forward to that.

I almost feel like these shouldn't really have been posted as part of the Double Stamping challenge by Adventures in stamping. Again my stamping is so subtle it almost totally fails!

The other part of the challenge was to do something called shadow stamping, where you stamp in one colour, and stamp in another over slightly to the side to create a shadow effect. I did try this, with each different image but it just really didn't work out!

That being said I really love these, I'm going to be so sad when they start to chip. I also feel like it's been quite a while since I've done a really lovely mix up/pick n mix/skittles mani.

Here's the glitter in the shade.. this is in the shade people!!!

Below are 5 little vials of glitter that my friend gave me, so far I've done a full mani with the blue glitter and freaking loved it, and for this mani I used the second from the left.

Here's what I used:

And that's from me until next time!
