White Dogtooth over Multicoloured base

Hi all. Happy Wednesday. I say that knowing that there's only one and half days left to work! Can't wait for a little break!

Today I have some more "sandwich bag" method where you dab colours onto your nail and use plastic to gently mix the colours. Unfortunately for me, I didn't re watch the video, or do any googling before I tried this, and I actually mixed the colours on the plastic, and then transferred to the nail, which seems a lot messier than the original idea. After trying this method out for these nails I wanted to do a more purple and teal mix.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Rimmel White
Other Colours: Sally Hansen - Fairy Teal, Color Club - Hydrangea Kiss, Beauty UK - Jelly Bean & W7 - Pink

Stamping Colour: Konad Special White
Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

 And here's the base before stamping.

I like the way these turned out, so I'm going to try it again, perhaps even the "right" way so I don't get covered in excess polish!

Have a good day!

Essence Nail Colour3 - Boys Are Back In Town & It's Just A Crush, With Konad

Hey everyone! Everyone having a good Saturday?

I'm feeling a bit blah as I write this - I think I've got a cold or something coming on. I'm all stuffy and my ears are itchy. However by the time this posts I might be feeling better, and I'll be either shopping with Amy, or doing her nails :P

Today we have another Essence Nail Colour3 layering. Boys Are Back In Town is a really nice grey purple, I've always wanted a polish this sort of shade, but because it dried considerably darker on the nail I was a little disappointed! It was still a nice colour to wear alone though, but when I added the shimmer/fleck polish (It's Just A Crush) I totally fell in love!

Base Coat: : La Femme

Base Colours: Essence Nail Colour3 - Boys Are Back In Town

Stamp Colour: Konad Special White

Top Coat: Rimmel 60 Seconds - Clear

Close up of the little flecks. As you can see It's mainly blue/purple, but at times there's some random orange flashes :]

 And some swatch shots of The Boys Are Back In Town for good measure :] The formula was on the thicker side, but was so amazing to work with. and dried a treat too.

I think tomorrow will be the first Sunday that I'm not taking part in the Adventures In Stamping Sunday Challenge, I voted as well (slaps back of hand) but with everything going on here I'm just not going to have the time :( I'm going to feel extremely weird not posting, so I do hope you all can forgive me!

A Plate Ending In 5 - We Stamp On Sundays

This weeks challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use an image plate ending in 5. I'd actually just finished these when the voting was over and the challenge was announced so I figured I'd use these :]

I started with Frostbite as my base, and sponged on a no name bronze to the tips before stamping with black. I think the bronze polish is called Elyse but it's hard to tell as the name's rubbed off. I think this polish is like 5 years old :P

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: China Glaze - Frostbite
Tip Colour: Elyse - Bronze (not sure)
Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin
Image Plate: Konad M65
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

And for good measure here's a picture of Miss Cheesy, being totally distracted by the reflection from the image plate on the wall when I was taking bottle shots. Her tongue looks so weird!

Pink Chrome Roses

This was one of those mani's that you can't stop staring at, because I mixed the chromes before scraping the plate it made certain parts of the image pop. So fun to wear. Sorry for whatever happened to the ring finger, I think some acetone spillage perhaps.

Some of these didn't transfer so well oops. I started with 2 coats of George - Asda, and then did a zigzag in one of the chromes, and filled in the other parts with the other chrome.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: George - Confusion

Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

I think I'll have to use this method more often!

Khaki & Bronze Feathers

No Christmas nails today, but they're kinda Autumnal, and were quite fun to wear. This is one of three new polished Scott bought me recently. Originally I'd picked up this one, and a nude shade, and then we were told at the checkout they were on 3 for 2, so I got a bright pink too. 

This was actually a colour I included in my giveaway, and I'm glad I was still lusting after it, as I have no other green like this. The formula on these is amazing too, fast drying, with great coverage. But I do have a slight hate for the brushes; for £1 a bottle though; no complaints from me :]
