Spring Challenge - Day 9 - Kites

Today's Spring Challenge is Kites. I'm a little bit disappointed by how these turned out, but since the sun has been playing hide and seek for the last week or so I can't be bothered to re-do them :P

Dont' forget to check out Esme's Blog to see what she came up with today :]

Base Coat: CND - Stcikey
Base Colour: George - Cloudless Sky
Stamping Colour: NYC - Nail Glossies - 215
Image Plate: Konad M79
Kite: Barry M - Bright Red, Lemon Ice Cream, Red Glitter
Tree: Manhattan - Green Piece
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

 

Then I decided to add more NYC - 215 to the clouds with a dotting tool, as the stamp didn't show up too well.

 I figure I should've made the kite smaller too.

Next up is rain! :]

More Easter Nails - We Stamp On Sundays

Today's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was Easter/Spring themed nails. Though I'm not sure if the theme has been changed maybe?

I was totally racking my brains as to what to do for this challenge. I tried playing around with sections of tribal type tip images to make Easter like eggs. But that really didn't work out. So I just decided to use a new image from the Big SdP image plate that I won from Shirley over at Dashica Beauty. Yes; I realise my winning streak is crazy at the minute! I appreciate it all so much though =]

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: BYS - Lila Bliss
Stamping Colour: Konad Special White
Image Plate: Dashica Big SpD - A
Other Colours: George - Smarty Pants
Models Own - Pastel Pink
Mini M&S - Yellow

 

Here's what I used:

So many new pretties to play with! :D

And for good measure here's a picture of Pickle lazing in the sun the other day for the brief 10 minutes it was out.

She also goes by Picklicious which is one of my favourites for her. That or Pixel ^_^ Oh; and that's Jazz in the background!

Thanks again to Shirley! I'm still dying to play with all the pretty possibilities!

Spring Challenge - Day 8 - Easter Nails

Today's nails for the Spring Challenge are Easter nails. For these I had a few ideas, and knew I wanted to do a Pick 'n' Mix / Skittles mani. I got the idea for the Mini Eggs from Emily's Nail Files with this great tutorial. At first I wasn't really feeling the colour combination I had going on, but changed some things around, and after the 3 days I had them on I'd grown to love them.

Mini Haul

I was feeling pretty crap the other day so I decided to buy some polishes. I was going to be going down the shops anyways (originally with family before they decided to leave without telling me) and then I felt the sudden urge to have some new pretties. I knew I wanted Pop Fiction after seeing it over at Nail Stories, and a Peach colour, but the rest was just because they were cheap ^_^

Beauty UK - Peach Melba -£1.99
Revlon - Sunshine Sparkle £1
Revlon - Teak Rose £1
Revlon - Emerald City £1

Miss Sporty - Pop Fiction £1.99
Gosh - Golden Dragon £2

I have no idea why Golden Dragon photographs so dark, It's such a gorgeous green in real life.

Anyhoo; just a quickie post from me today. Friday's Spring challenge is Easter Nails - so keep an eye out ^-^

Spring Challenge - Day 7 - Butterflies

Today's Spring challenge is butterfly nails! I was really excited about doing these, and knew what I was going to do. Last year some time (May or June I think) I started seeing these style nails all over Tumblr, and I was dying to try them. I have no idea why It's taken me til now to try these out.

Don't forget to check out Esme's Blog to see her buttflies :]

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Manhattan - Lemonade (my favourite yellow evvaaah)
Sponged colour: Deborah - Sunset cocktail
Black & White: Acrylic Paints
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

I always have isues with spacing dots and such. I just feel like I ruined the whole mani with these dots =/

Pre-dots :]

This is the picture I took last year that I was going to use as inspiration.

Next up on Friday is Easter Nails!

April Fools Non Stamping - We Stamp On Sunday

Today's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to do a mani without stamping as a sort of April Fools' Day mani.

I was thinking about doing these at the start of the week; but didn't really know when I'd post them as I don't like posting every day and what have you. So when I heard the challenge was a non stamping one I figured it would be a perfect time ^-^

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: W7 - Suede
Lines: Acrylic Paints
Tips: Sally Hansen - White On
George - Mischief & Manhattan - Lemonade mixed for the yolk

Nomnomn. I love Creme Eggs. However I love mini ones as the regular ones are way too sickly for me.

I hope everyone's having a good weekend :]
