Golden Oldie Thursday, pink waterfall

Time for a new challenge? OK. This is Golden Oldie Thursday, GOT for short. This challenge is from Crumpets nail tarts. (only 1 day late)

The rules are simple:
The polish you use should be at least one year old
* if you haven't been a polishaholic that long, you can use the oldest polishes you have
* the polish should be previously used, but if you're stuck, you could free a yearling from Mount Untried
* you can use more than 1 polish as long as it fits the theme and the rules

I've used La Femme Beauty, Misty rose for my base. Its a shimmery pale pink but the camera has made it look really strange, honestly it looks soo much better in real life! I've then used L.A. Colors Art Deco White and Pretty nail art pen in hot pink to add the 'waterfall' effect.

The Hot pink didn't stand out as much as I was hoping,perhaps I should have had a white background and then used different shades of pink to create the waterfall effect. That being said it wouldn't have kept within the rules of GOT! I'll re-create this mani sometime soon and hopeful make an improvement on it :)

 

 



Day 30 in the 33DC - A mani featuring the same pattern, in various colours

Day 30 is here and the prompt was, a mani featuring the same pattern in various colours.

I've taken the name of this challenge literally, I did animal print with bright neons as the base. I used Models Own, Snow White for the base and used a sponge to create an ombre effect with Models Own, Luis Lemon, Models Own, Bubblegum and La Femme Beaut, Ultra Green. Then with a thin nail brush swipe across with black. Sadly the brush wasn't as fine as I thought so it turned out a little lumpy.

Day 24 in the 33DC - a mani featuring the colour you own the most

Before I looked at my ever growing collection of nail polish I though the colour I had most of was Reds and Pink but it turned out to be blue, I have 13 blues all together and only 7 reds. The La Femme Beauty bottles on the right of the picture look the same but they aren't, they are different shades.

I had no inspiration just before I started to paint my nails so opted for a simple layer of blue glitter over a blue base. I 've used Models Own, Beths Blue (the middle bottle in the picture) and La Femme Beauty, Mirage (the one next to Beths Blue)

Day 21 in the 33DC - Europe

Day 21 is here and the prompt given was Europe.

I live in the UK and I've done the Union-Jack a few times and learnt that you need steady hands and lots of time to get it to look perfect and well to be honest I don't have time nor the patience right now so I ruled that idea out. The next idea was a map of Europe which well, just wasn't going to happen!!

I wasn't able to select one country to focus on because (A) There is too much choice. (B) I'm sure I should include everyone/thing that come under the umbrella of Europe and (C) I don't have a favourite locations. This got me thinking about locations and places I've been holiday. I love the sun and I love holidays. beach holidays, city breaks, weekends away and all the rest :)

So my 'nod' to the prompt of Europe is travel to and from, in particular by plane. I always feels a little more exciting when you have to travel by plane. I recently went to Bruges in Belgium and went by Eurostar. I was amazing and magical but felt close to hope because we didn't catch a plane - sounds silly but it's true :)

I've used La Femme Beauty, Light Blue for the base, Barry M Black nail art pen to draw the Plain and an un-named Stamping polish in White for the clouds.
