Spring Challenge - Day 6 - Frogs

Today's instalment of the Spring challenge myself and Esme of Nail Addict are doing calls for frogs! I was seriously excited to do these, and even had a little idea all drawn out and everything! But then I started to do my nails and realised that they're tiny compared to what I was planning! I still went ahead trying to cram stuff on anyways :P

Anyhooo here's what I came up with :]

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Collection 2000 - Button Moon
Other Colours: Bourjois 10 Day Wear - No.18
                       Cutex - Sweet Pea
                       Geroge - Martian
                       Sally Hansen - White On
                       BYS - Lila Bliss
                       George - Buttercup Shine
                       George - Meteorite
                       W7 - Matte Green
                       Rimmel - Hard Edged
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1
Big frog thumbs. Cutex - Sweet Pea as the froggie base, sponged randomly with a few other colours. Eyes and nose are Sally Hansen - White On, Rimmel - Hard Edged, And George - Buttercup Shine.



I wanted to capture the mani before I attempted the small frog; and I'm so glad I did as I think he looks more like a green lump than a frog xD When I did the smaller frog I also made some changed to the lily flower.



And because I've discovered some love for free hand nail art when matte:

And just for funsies/creepies, here's a pic of a frog in my pond a few weeks back with a crazy eye. My dad thinks one of the cats has caught it :(


Don't forget to check out Esme's post today to see what she came up with :]

Pastel Blue Pink Polka Dots And Cute Little Pups!

This mani's actually from a week or so back, but I seem to be forgetting older mani's with for sure posting pretty much what I'm wearing on Sunday for my We Stamp On Sunday challenges. But the fact I have a few slightly older mani's knocking around might help me out with scheduled posts next week while I'm on holiday :] We shall see!

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colours: Models Own - Pastel Pink
                        Collection 2000 - Button Moon
Polka Dot Colours: Models Own - Pastel Pink
                              George - Streamer
Dog Colours: Natural Collection - Sugar Mouse
                      BYS - Black Satin
Image Plates: Bundle Monster BM19,
                      Konad M10
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

So I looove the way these turned out. This was the first time using this plate, and the first time I've stamped, filled it in with a polish, and then re-stamped in a darker colour. I messed up a little bit just with my stamping technique, and messed up on the ring finger missing a huge chunk of the Natural Collection Polish I filled in the stamp with. So I filled in any bits of blue or pink that were peeking through.

Hope everyone's having a good Wednesday! :]

Disturbia Trip Nails

So for probably 3 months I've been wanting to do some Disturbia Clothing inspired nails, and I finally got around to doing them. I've been a fan of Disturbia clothing ever since I found out about them from my good friend Miss. Roy :] 

Me and my boyfriend have 18 T-shirts from them, at the last count, and it's sure to be more tomorrow, as we're attending the Autumn/Winter collection Launch Party, at their new location.

Onto the nails!

Right Hand

And a better shot of the Diamond
What was used:
Sally Hansen - White On
L.A. Colours - Static Electricity
Barry M - Grey & Lemon Ice Cream
Collection 2000 - Button Moon
M&S - Mini Pink
Nail Art Pens - Blue Shimmer, Yellow Shimmer & Black
Acrylic Paints - White, Black &  Deep Blue
Mac Glitter - Fuchsia
Striping Tape, Brushes & an Orange Stick.

And here is the T-shirt that inspired me:


Diamonds may be a girls best friend, but they are not mine! I love diamond nail art, but it was such a pain in the bum to do on my right hand, after a few failed attempts, my boyfriend helped me out with the outline (thank god :p) These took many hours to do, and I'm not sure if that's because I like to chill and take my time, or because I was watching back to back Awkward, and other shows. However, I still love them, And they're holding up pretty well for doing them on Sunday.
