Rainy Day Nails

Hello lovelies! 

The weather here is DIRE. It's July. And it's raining. ALL. THE. TIME. 

Now this sucks, but I decided to make the best of it so here we have: rainy day nails! :) 

The lovely, beautiful Marnie from my polish birthday club sent me Girly Bits - January Morning in my birthday package! I was soooo excited. I've wanted January morning for ages. So for this mani I layered January Morning over China Glaze - Elephant Walk from the China Glaze Safari Collection (which I LOVE). On the accent nails I put China Glaze - Snowglobe which is one of my all time favourite glitters ever. I love the different coloured glitter and the way the colours shift in different lights. It really does look like a snowglobe and it looks fab over any colour. On the other nails I did some clouds with China Glaze - White on White and Collection 2000 Hot Looks - Angel Wings for the accents on the clouds and the raindrops. I love the way January morning just shimmers and sparkles in the background. It makes me almost like rainy days. Except when I have to go outside in them. BOO!
 




See the shrinkage on my accent nails... UGH I did that nail TWICE to try and stop it, and both times it did that. Is that just Seche Vite? Or is it something I'm doing wrong? I'm using a new base coat - Essie Nourish me... could that be causing shrinkage? Or is it just too many layers of polish. Anyway.

What do you think of these? Is it raining where you are or are you one of those lucky ones who live in sunnier climes? If so can I come and live with you please? I'm FED UP of all this rain :)

Thanks for looking

Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge Day 25 - Favourite Pastel Blue

Hallo! So I'm really behind with these but I'm going to keep posting them anyway... in my own sweet time haha :) I'll get there eventually. Today was your favourite pastel blue and I chose Look Beauty Nail Pop - Vintage which is just the most gorgeous pale blue colour. I think these kinds of blues are one of my favourite colours.. I have a LOT of pastel blues, but the formula, opacity and hue of this one is just perfection. 

I've wanted to do rainbow nails for ages so this was a perfect opportunity! 

These pictures are not good. Sorry about that... my camera had a bit of a hissy fit. It's okay now but by the time it was fixed I'd taken these nails off. 
 



I used dotting tools in different sizes for the clouds and stamped the rainbow with Konad Charming Nails Q1 plate and then coloured it in with various polishes.

I used:

Look Beauty Nail Pop - Vintage
China Glaze - White on White

for the little finger and thumb:

a-england - Excalibur
a-england - Merlin

for the rainbow:

Collection 2000 Hot Looks - Big Hair
China Glaze - Sunshine Pop
China Glaze - Gaga for Green
Orly - Lunar Eclipse
Collection 2000 Hot Looks - BMX Bandit
