Pink, Green and Gold nails

Good evening lovelies

Tonight I am showing you a manicure I designed to co-ordinate with a new dress and bag I wore over the weekend. Any regular followers will know that I am a sucker for any combination of pink and green so when I wore my brightest of bright green new dress for a night out I just knew I would reach for my favourite bright pink clutch :-)

Pink nails with Navy and Butterflies: All in One

Good evening lovelies

Did you have a fantastic weekend? I most certainly did :-). I had a lovely day with Mr LiPP on Saturday, we shopped a little, drunk a little and ate a lot. The perfect combination. On Sunday little sis and I travelled to Birmingham for the Beauty UK 2013 show. We shopped until we dropped and really enjoyed the day. For those of you following me on Instagram you may have seen a few pics of my Konad goodies. Without doubt it was my favourite stand of the day.

These are the nails I wore...

I started with a base of the stunning Orly Miss Conduct. Absolutely an all time favourite of mine and as my latest favourite colour combination is raspberry and navy, Miss Conduct was the perfect base for this manicure.

Using Barry M Navy (another all time favourite of mine!) I stamped the zebra style stripes found on plate BM 223. I was tempted to leave it at that but as we were off to an event full of professionals I could not resist adding a little more...

Using Barry M Silver Foil I stamped my favourite butterflies from Konad plate M 78. On each nail I placed the butterflies slightly differently to avoid that uniformed nail wrap look.

Lastly I could not resist adding a quick top coat of Northern Lights Hologram in Silver. I love the holo sparkle in this top coat so much, not to mention its almost as quick drying as my trusty Seche Vite and never smudges my stamped designs :-).

How do you like my NOTD look? I am even more in love with this raspberry pink and navy combo than I was before!

It's Blue Monday so I am off to Yo Sushi with the girls - I hope you all have fantastic evenings

Coral, Gold and Butterflies: All in One manicure

Good evening lovelies

This lovely manicure was worn for three days a few weeks back which is unheard of for me ;-). But honestly what's not to love... coral, gold and butterflies all in one!

I started with two coats of In Theory by Color Club. It's a beautiful coral with an orange tone, it was slightly streaky and would need three thin coats if you wanted to wear it alone.

Using Konad White I stamped the thin zebra style stripes from plate BM 223 onto all nails. I really liked how this looked but decided I couldn't quite leave it there...

Finally with Barry M Gold Foil I stamped the small butterflies from Konad plate M57 onto each nail.

The overall look was subtle as the gold didnt quite 'pop' against the white as I thought it would in my head... however, I loved the end result which explains why I wore this look for three whole days!

Good evening everyone :-)
