Golden Oldie Thursday - Chevron

**I'm a week late with this post! Oopps, I thought that I'd scheduled it and that it had posted on 20th but it wasn't until I was writing out todays GOT post that I noticed it sitting I my drafts!**

I know I've said this before but I hate doing Chevrons!! I just don't have steady enough hands to place the tape in just the right place. I've kept the design as simple as possible but yet I've still managed to mess up. I was in a hurry to add topcoat, I've smudged the blue and its dragged across the white lines!!  arrgghh when will I learn to wait longer to ensure that everything is properly dry.

The white bass layer is No7, Snowflake and then I've used Collection 2000, BMX Bandit which is a teeny tiny bottle, only 8ml. Its on my favourite list and I'm on the hunt for a similar replacement but I've not found anything similar.

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 13 in the 33DC - Chinese

Day 13 is Chinese

When I think of China and all things Chinese, I instantly think of a few things .... red, gold, dragons, noodles and lanterns. I had no idea how I was going to put a dragon on my nail or even noodles come to that!

I liked the idea of doing sky lanterns, I tried and failed so I went for red and gold. I've used Collection 2000 Scarlet for the red base. Then I used a gold foil that came in my Rio foil set. The thumb nail came out really well I'm super chuffed. Just look how shinny and reflective it is - just beautiful The ring finger was meant to be a swirl/spiral but turned more into a foil mess but I like the effect anyway.

Day 5 in the 33DC - Mexican

Mexican is the name of the game today.

Another tricky task. Not to much to talk about with theses nails, I don't like them and ran out of time to anything else :(

I've used Models Own Sun Kissed and Collection 2000 Hot looks, Scarlet. both have a lovely shimmer to them. I was hoping to add a bit of interest to the background but I'm not sure it worked.

 

Nacho nails! lol
