Navy Lace with Silver Accent nail

Happy Sunday to you all!

Hope you have all had fantastic weekends? We have been very lucky with the weather and experienced the hottest day of the year so far today. We managed to make the most of it by being out in the garden and I certainly feel better for it. Last night us girls went for a meal at a restaurant called Prime where the steak is served on a volcanic rock heated to 360 degree so you cook it yourself to your own liking. It was fantastic fun and the steak was amazing! I had mine with garlic butter and stilton sauce! Yums :-).

Here are the nails I did to go with my all time favourite navy dress and lace jacket combo...

I started with base colours of NYC Ink Stain, the most gorgeous and rich shimmering navy blue that looked extra amazing in the sunshine. My ring and thumb accent nails have a base of Color Club On the Rocks.

Then using a-England Merlin (bottle shot above) I added one truly gorgeous cost of crushed silver sparkles to each of my accent nails. All of the a-England polishes are beautiful but to get coverage like this from such a simple looking polish is amazing (if you ask me!).

Just to really finish off my silver accent nails I then added one thin coat of Orly Holy Holo, it is ridiculously dense with large holo glitter particles and was almost blinding in the sun!

To stamp this beautiful lacy style design I returned to Color Club On the Rocks as its subtle silver shimmery goodness was the perfect finish for this manicure.

I love my new Pueen plates so very much... anything lace and love themed is always going to be a winner for me. This particular pattern can be found on plate Pueen 27.

This final picture was taken in the shade just so you could see the lace pattern a little more clearly.

I really hope your weekends have been as lovely as mine, I'm off to enjoy the evening sunshine and a BBQ with the hubs. Thanks for cooking Mr LiPP ;-).

Perfectly Plum and Holy Holo mash up

Good evening lovelies

Today was a bank holiday here in the UK and we have been lucky enough to enjoy some very warm and sunny weather. Having that one extra day off work makes all the difference and we really took advantage of it by getting all our household and garden chores over and done with before today so we could enjoy ourselves dog walking, shopping and eating at Yo Sushi :-).

I started with three thin coats of Perfectly Plum by Orly. This polish has a gorgeous raspberry pink tone to it and will perfectly match my new maxi dress so I will most certainly be reaching for this colour again very soon.

On my index and little fingers I added the gorgeous Holy Holo from Orly. This silver glitter is from the Glam FX collection and will look gorgeous layered over any colour you can think of. Next time I use it I will layer it over a nice black creme.

Lastly using Barry M Silver Foil and the geometric pattern from GA 11 I stamped my middle and ring fingers.

Both these lovely Orly polishes were birthday presents - thanks H :-)

Although its sad to think that tomorrow is a work day at least it is only a four day week :-)
