Pink, so much Pink

Happy Friday

Its the weekend... Also I hate to rub it in but I have Monday and Tuesday off work and I cannot wait. A long weekend to enjoy celebrating my sisters birthday, dog walking and nail painting! Perfection. I am totally in love with these nails! For those of you who dont know I am a pink fiend! Literally pink hair, pink clothes, pink accessories... even a pink collar on my little girl Lily dog :). If you dont believe me check out my personal insta... @louisejane231 :))

Happy St. Georges Day

Good evening lovelies

Can you believe what happened to me and little sis yesterday... We set off on our much anticipated sister trip to Birmingham to see the one and only Pink live in concert and then... she cancelled!! When we heard the news we had already checked into our hotel for the night and already treated ourselves to a glass or two of Pinot so neither of us could drive. Of course we made the most of the night by eating and drinking ouselves merry but still we were (and still are) gutted... :(.

Anyway my NOTD is to celebrate St George's Day... The legend goes that St George slayed the dragon to save the locals from sacrificing their children. With that in mind of course I reached for appropriately named polishes...

What better way to put this manicure together than using two of the gorgeous greens from the Legends collection by a-England. I started with the aptly named Saint George on my index finger. Regular readers will know this is one of my all time fav's - the most perfect teal green holo polish ever!

On my middle finger I painted two thin coats of Matt White by Barry M. Then using red striping tape I made a neat cross to represent the flag of England which of course is St George's cross.

 

Finally on my ring and index fingers I painted two perfect coats of Dragon by a-England. Dragon has the same stunning formula as Saint George and could easily be a one coater.

To represent dragon scales I used Barry M Gold Foil and a pattern from Gals plate GA 14.

I hope you like my patriotic nails? I had originally planned to post the manicure I designed for the Pink concert and also include a few pics of me and the little sis having an amazing time :-(. Oh well at least we have the re-scheduled gig to look forward to and maybe I will still post the Pink nails later this week.

Stunning: a-England Dragon

Good evening my lovelies! Happy Friday!!

As the weekend is finally here I decided it called for something a little extra special on my nails... in steps the simply stunning Dragon by a-England. I cannot wait for you to see how gorgeous this polish is!

I have no major plans for this weekend which makes it perfect for a little bit of shopping, a lot of eating and plenty of time relaxing! What could be better I hear you ask... absolutely nothing as it is just what I need :-).

Right I won't keep you any longer as I know you cannot wait to see this polish up close...

See... I am right, only word will do for a polish this gorgeous... Stunning!

With flash for the stunning holo effect to show through...

Without flash so you can see how gorgeous the green is and how much gold shows through under natural light...

As you can see I could not bring myself to do anything too fancy over this polish so I used Barry M Gold Foil to add this simple leaf strip up the side of each nail. The leaf design can be found on plate BM 11.

Once the gold stamping was dry I added one very thin top coat of Northern Lights Hologram in Gold.

I cannot wait for my next order of a-England polishes to arrive (fingers crossed it could be this weekend).

I hope you all have wonderful weekends - do you have much planned?
