George - Lavender & Catrice - Genius In The Bottle

When I first got Catrice - Genius In The Bottle I was quite intrigued to try it out stamped over black, and I did a quick test on one nail and loved it, but I went rummaging for a polish I hadn't used in ages, or hadn't shown here yet, and I came across George - Lavender, and just thought 'why not?' So, it’s an odd combo that popped more in real life, but I liked wearing this anyways.
Base coat: La Femme
Base Colour: George - Lavender
Stamping Colour: Catrice - Genius In The Bottle

Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

This purple was one of those colours I bought before I got totally obsessed with the nail world. Where my mani's consisted of pressed on glitter, marker pen doodling’s, and tape mani's. It went unused for around three years because with first use it was sheer, and I thought it would take loads of coats to become opaque. Turns out it was my polish skills. When I tried it last week for this mani it was a perfect 2 coats, with a squishy shiny finish. :]

I wonder how many other polishes are getting neglected because of my previous experience with them. I hope everyone's having a good Thursday :] I'll be at work again when this is posted, probably hoping for it to be Friday evening =P

Large Flowers - We Stamp On Sundays

This weeks challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was large flowers. I really wanted to use an image I hadn't used before so I went with Born Pretty Hello Kitty Plate M71 :]

I loove the shimmer/creme combo =]


The flower I used is on the left hand side by Hello Kitty :]
 


In these last few shots you can really see how this mani looks in real life, although I swear in real life the shimmer really pops off the creme a lot more :]
 



 Hope everyone's having a good Sunday! & Happy Mothers Day to all the UK Mams :]
