Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge Day 14 (and 15) - Mr. Blue Spring Pastels

Hello! I've cheated again because I am THE WORST HUMAN BEING (who likes hyperbole). Day 14 and 15 (maybe?) were Spring Pastel and Mr. Blue sky, so I did a spring pastel and incorporated into it a blue sky. I'm sorry! In my defense I'm working on a bunch of stuff including my dissertation at the moment, so I don't feel TOO bad :)

I used:

Thumb -

OPI - Kiss me on my tulips

Konad Special Stamping Polish - White

first finger -

Model's Own - Lemon Meringue Pie

Konad Special Stamping Polish - Red

middle finger -

Orly - Lucky Duck

Barry M - Matt White

Ring finger -

Barry M - Peach Melba

Orly - Lucky Duck

OPI - Kiss me on my tulips

China Glaze - Gothic Lolita

Little finger -

China Glaze - Gothic Lolita

a-england- Excalibur

I hope you like it and I hope you aren't too cross with me for cheating. On a more exciting note, me and my friend went to see Presidents of the USA last night and GOT TO HANG OUT WITH THEM! YEAH!

Have a lovely weekend.

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. :)
