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!

Neon Pink Leopard and OPI Ds Sapphire - oohhh!

Hello!

You might notice I've changed my blog around a bit. Do you like it? I've been wrestling with it for like.. TWO DAYS! Me and HTML do not get along, so I ended up having to use a template to stop my columns overlapping. Very annoying! Anyway - onto the nails!

For these I used:

Sally Hansen - No Chip Base Coat
China Glaze - Purple Panic
Orly - Ancient Jade
OPI - DS Sapphire
A-england - Excalibur (for the stamping) 
Seche Vite

Holo-deliciousness!

I tried out some swatches of DS Sapphire over some different blue/greens. From left to right - DS Sapphire on it's own (ooh), DS Sapphire over Orly Ancient Jade (ahhh), DS sapphire over Collection 2000 Hot Looks Blue Hawaii, DS Sapphire over Collection 2000 Hot Looks Show off and finally, DS Sapphire over Orly Lunar Eclipse (eeehhh). I went with Ancient Jade because it made it slightly green, but how amazing is it over EVERYTHING? You can just see a smidge of OPI Fresh Frog Of Bel Air in the picture. I can't wait to use that one!

Thanks for reading, I hope you're having a great day!

Mint Chocolate Chip!

I wanted to try out Emerald Sparkled's Mint Chocolate Chip nails because they are simply awesome. I got lots and lots of compliments on these. I used:

Miss Sporty Base Coat

E.L.F - Mint Cream

E.L.F - Chocolate

E.L.F Matte Top Coat








They look so yummy! I want to eat them up. I might try strawberry chocolate chip nails next!


I have like three followers right now, and I wanted to thank them for being awesome! It's exciting even to have one follower, so thankyou very much! :)
