Owl Nails Skittlette
Happy July to you all!
Where does time go? More than half way though the year... we are yet to have summer in the UK (where are you sunshine?!) but on the plus side my family has booked our Christmas Day lunch! Not kidding, you have to book early to get a table for 10 people :-).
I love this manicure for obvious reasons... it has black polish, it has glitter but most importantly it has OWLS!
I started with a base of NYC City Blackout on my index and middle fingers. On my ring finger is my 'recycled' accent nail from a previous manicure and on my little finger is two easy coats of Barry M Gelly in Passion Fruit.
City Blackout was a little on the thin side but evened out nicely and you really cannot grumble at the £1.99 price point! Using Barry M Silver Foil I then stamped this most adorable owl print from plate Pueen 40. I have used this image to make myself some lovely nail polish rings but this is the first time I have used it on my nails!
On my little finger is Passion Fruit by Barry M. This is one of the latest colours to be released and as with all the others it has the most perfect highly pigmented formula. Passion Fruit is described as a neon coral but to me its definitely more red with an orange undertone.
I added a cute black heart shaped ring stone to my little finger for the finishing touch.
I was really pleased with this owl inspired skittlette, people at work were not so complimentary as this seemed to be an accent nail too many for most! :-)
Enjoy your evening

Did I tell you I also love... Owls?!
Good evening lovelies.
How are you all at this mid week point? I am excited about my post tonight :-).
Whilst in London with the girls last weekend I purchased the most gorgeous scarf from Portobello Market. It is a gorgeous pale grey with bright pink owls printed on it and I just knew as I handed my money over that I would recreate the gorgeous print on my nails. I had been saving this owl stamp for something special so this is it... I hope you like it :-)
As you can see I started with a base of Revlon Hazy. In my opinion this is the perfect pale grey polish and I will definitely need to buy a back up bottle as I use it all the time.
Once the grey was dry I stamped using Konad Psyche Pink with the two different owl designs found on plate BM 309.
Isn't this just adorable? And yes the scarf is as soft and luxurious as it looks :-)
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weeks. Not long until the weekend now...
