Models Own Pastel Pink and Sinful Colors Zeus with Stamping

Hi!

Thanks again to everyone who entered my giveaway. And thankyou to everyone who told me about their favourite band! And don't worry, if you told me about your favourite brand that was okay too. I'm always interested to hear about people :) The reason I wanted to know about people's favourite bands is that I'm a musician, I love music and I like to find new music. I discovered a lot of new artists thanks to you guys so thanks very much!!!

This is a mani I did a while ago using Models Own - Pastel Pink, a-england - Excalibur and Sinful Colors - Zeus. I got Zeus in a polish swap from the wonderful Katee at http://www.agirlandherpolish.com and I think I will love her for the rest of my life for it :) When I'm on my death bed and someone asks me if I have any last words I'm gonna be like 'I will never forget a girl and her polish for Sinful Colors Zeus'... or something like that :) Anyway. Enough rambling. ONTO THE NAILS!





I stamped over the purple with Konad Special Stamping Polish in pink and it came out a bit translucent which was disappointing at first bit I actually quite like the effect. I stuck some little nail art circles onto the pink using Seche Vite and did some little dots with Zeus. The image on the purple nails is from my DRK A plate and the image on the pink is from one of those random fauxnads. It's just a leaf image which I stamped in different places on the nails. I kind of like the effect.

Thanks so much for reading!

Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge Day 24 - Easter Eggs!

Hi! I am a bad blogger. I've missed lots of these challenges. My life is hectic right now! 

So... I kind of went interpretive with the easter egg theme and just used it as an excuse for a cool skittle :D I really wanted to use my new Rimmel - Strawberry Fizz so that's what I did! I stamped the strawberries with Konad Red and then added the dots and coloured the leaves green. Strawberry Fizz actually SMELLS like strawberries! It's awesome. I was making people smell my fingers. Which sounds odd.. but they're used to it. :)








For these I used:

Thumb and middle finger -

Rimmel Strawberry - Fizz
Konad Special Stamping Polish - Red
China Glaze - White on White
China Glaze - Gaga For Green

First finger, ring finger and little finger - 
Model's Own - Beth's Blue
Konad Special Stamping Polish - White
China Glaze - Prism
Sinful Colors - Unicorn
Konad Special Stamping Polish - Royal Purple

Yummy!!!

purple crumpet fairy spring challenge day 19 - spring splatter

So today was my first attempt at a splatter mani. It went pretty awfully as you can see. I tried using pipettes - the type you use in chemistry at school, because I saw it on a blog somewhere, and it just didn't work at all. I ended up with big, gross blobs. Ill definitely try this with straws next time because my co-challengees have done some incredible splatter manicures.






I used:

A-england - Iseult
Models Own - Peach Sherbert
Models Own - Pink Blush
China Glaze - For Audrey

Please check out these other wonderful bloggers also participating in this challenge :)

Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring CHallenge - Day 11 - Pastel Patchwork

Hello lovelies! I hope you've had a good week, I've had a fabulous time in L'Afrique. It was beautiful and also very eye opening. When doing something as simple as walking down the street with a bottle of water is a symbol of your wealth and privilege, it's very humbling.

Anywho! I have missed a lot of the spring challenge - too much to catch up with, bearing in mind all my schoolwork and schizz so I'm just gonna go directly to day 11 (which was yesterday - oops!) - pastel patchwork!!! Yay!

Unfortunately my nails and fingers totally suffered with the heat and with the nature of what we were doing so my nails are super short right now. So sorry about that! :) I kind of like them though! Here are my pastel patchworks!





I used:
Models Own - Pink Blush
Models Own - Lemon Meringue Pie
Barry M - Mint Green
Nubar - Baby Sprout
Models Own - Beth's Blue
China Glaze - White On White
China Glaze - Sweet Hook
China Glaze - Gothic Lolita
Konad Special Stamping Polish - Pink
Seche Vite

The stamping pattern is from my new Dashica SdP A Big stamping plate which is A-MAZING!  Check them out here.

Thanks for looking! Sorry I missed so many of the challenges and so many of your blog posts. I'm catching up slowly but surely!

Model's Own - Pink Blush
Chick Nails - All A Twitter
Models Own - Peach Sherbert


Thanks for reading!

Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge Day 4 - Spring Water Marble!

Day 4. Water Marble. Two words that strike fear into the hearts of bloggers everywhere (except the really clever ones who can do perfect beautiful water marbles :))

This is my first attempt at a water marble. I wish I'd used stronger colours - the blue totally washed out and went all grey. I kind of like it but it's not the effect I was going for.




Wonky left hand shot


So I was about to take it off because I felt a bit 'meh' about it... and I had an idea... why not stamp on it? Et voila!






Another wonky left hand shot - I cannot take pictures of my left hand. I can't even pose my left hand. My little finger won't go straight - it sticks up all ridiculously. :)


And now I love it! It reminds me of 90's graffiti - like a shirt that Will Smith might have worn in the Fresh Prince! Haha.

I used:

Sally Hansen No Chip Base Coat
Models Own - Pink Blush
Chick Nails - All A Twitter
Models Own - Peach Sherbert
ELF - Twinkle
Konad Special Stamping Polish - Black
Seche Vite

Pruple Crumpet Fairy Spring challenge Day 3 - Small Flowers

Hello!

Hi! So today is day three of the challenge. There wasn't a challenge on Thursday. It's nice to have a break :) I am SO excited to show you these because I am SO happy with them! This is Models Own - Beth's Blue which is THE most beautiful forget-me-not blue. I am totally in love with it.









Sorry about the kazillions of pictures. I really love this manicure! I did the stripes using sticky labels cut into thin strips and the flowers with a dotting tool.

The black I used is a-england - Bridal Veil which is no ordinary black... OH NO! It's a beautiful black holo! I went over the blue with a coat of ELF - Twinkle which is my favourite glitter for that subtle tiny glitter effect. If you look at the close up shots, I managed to get a piece almost perfectly in the centre of a tiny flower. Ahhhww. :)

Please check out my fellow challenge-taking bloggers for their take on tiny flowers:
