Lilac & Lemon

Hardly the "Purp & Yellow" I've been trying to achieve these past few months *Saint's Row P urple* ( I love that game & that purple is my perfect purple.) But I was inspired via Chloe's Nails. I used to use tape when I was about 14; but just to tape off the corner, to create a diagonal tip, never; ever thinking of cutting the tape into thin pieces to create stripes, or a burst/shard effect. She really is incredible. I hope that I some day have the technique she possesses, never mind the tape, just the perfect polish!

& Barry M - Lemon Ice Cream

After doing thisIi realised I probably should've used the yellow as a base, but as you can see the yellow shows through some of the lilac. So I'm not a massive fan; but I still like it.

Pink & Black Diagonal Checkers.

I've been feeling a little bit uninspired recently, so I'm grabbing for the black to stamp with a lot more, but I have slightly missed the ease.

 Not the neatest mani I've ever done; but it was a quickie for work :]

Autumnal Flakies

China Glaze - Evening Seduction is what I use instead of black for plain nails. It's so dark, yet you can still see the warmth from the plum colour that suits my skin tone better than ordinary black.

And I think it's the warm, dark purple that makes the Nubar flakes appear more warm that usual.

Two coats, no top coat.

Models Own Magenta Pearl

I've got quite a few swatches that haven't been posted yet so I thought I'd start posting them. :]

When I saw this image I immediately thought retro. I was going to use orange and brown, but decided to use white and orange instead. I really need to get my hands on a better white to stamp with.

Very green mani :]
