Grass Slippers with Graffiti Nail Art

Good evening lovelies

Yesterday I posted a gorgeous swatch post dedicated to Grass Slippers by Sally Hansen. Today I am going to show you how I made it a little more wearable by adding some fun nail art.

These are my graffiti line nails and I love them. I couldn't resist using bold colours for the line work as I really wanted to show that lime green can be a great base for nail art :-).

Using the criss cross lines from plate BM 316 I stamped in one direction using Barielle Berry Blue.

The flipping the plate upside down I stamped again but this time using Konad Special Polish in Psyche Pink.

I am so glad my bold colour choice paid off. I could not stop looking at my graffiti nails!

Would you wear such a bold lime green as your base colour? Do you like my bold navy and bright pink colour choices?

Space Invader Nails

Tonight I decided to do something a little different. I recently treated myself to some new stamping plates from a company called Cheeky. I cannot wait to use more of them but as I was having the first look through the 161 designs I was drawn to this cartoon style space invaders pattern which features several funny little creatures.

I usually steer clear of patterns that are cartoon cute but for some reason I really liked this one...

Firstly I started with two perfect coats of Essie Bikini So Teeny which has been on my lemming list for at least six months! I was so excited to get this beautiful periwinkle blue and also at the same time I got Essie Navigate Her which is another huge lemming of mine!

Then using Barielle Berry Blue I stamped this cute design from plate CH 32. I just love these blue on blue combinations.

More adorable little critters for my thumb...

Then finally on my last two nails I decided to add a little sparkle so I broke out my new Barry M Rose Quartz Glitter. Check out the sparkle in this bottle...!

I love this Rose Quartz glitter from the Jewel collection. I swatched it over my new dove grey as well and it looked gorgeous.
