Pretty Pink with Paisley

Happy happy Thursday!

Almost the weekend my loves. I've had a really good and positive four days at work. Time has flown by, I feel like I have achieved a lot and once the weekend arrives I feel like I will deserve the downtime.

Tonight I am showing you the nails I wore to the Polo a few weekends ago, not my finest work but in real life they looked much better and I just adore this paisley print.

Purple nails with Paisley

Good evening lovelies

I almost didn't want to cover this fantastic colour up with my nail art but after an hour or two I decided to use one of my all time favourite stamp designs in a nice complimentary colour.

The base colour is Plum Power by Sally Hansen. I love this colour so much that I dedicated a whole post to it yesterday which really does not happen very often here on LiPP.

Using my most trusty of all stamping polishes - Barry M Silver Foil - I stamped the perfect paisley print from Bundle Monster plate BM 315.

This colour absolutely makes me want to wear purple more than I would usually and what can I say about this stamp other than its paisley perfection.

As I mentioned yesterday today is our 5th Wedding Anniversary so we are off celebrating and spending lots of time together on nice walks and no doubt eating good food :-)

Blue Paisley Nails

Good evening lovelies

Happy Sunday! I hope you have had a fantastic weekend? Ours has been busy but fun. We went out for good food (as always!), spent time with friends, enjoyed several long dog walks and still managed to relax in front of the tv :-). Unfortunately it is almost Monday again but this is my last full five day week for the next month so I cant complain really...

Onto one of my favourite manicures in a while...

For this beautiful blue manicure I started with two coats of Sky's the Limit by Barielle. It is a sapphire blue with lots of pretty blue metallic shimmers. I loved how this looked as it was drying and I was almost tempted to leave it alone, but...

Using Barry M Silver Foil I stamped this paisley design from plate BM 315. This is one of my all time favourite prints and I love this colour combo to bits!

I topped the whole thing off one coat of Northern Lights Hologram top coat in Silver. Quick drying and super sparkly... whats not to love? :-)

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday's my lovelies

Paisley so Pretty

Just got time to squeeze in a quick and unplanned post. I have only had this gorgeous and punchy orange for a week but couldnt wait any longer to try it out! I got this polish in a free promotional gift from the Boots 17 range as I spent over £6 on their products. The gift set also contained a full size black eyeliner and another item that totally escapes my memory. Of course I was ONLY interested in the nail polish.

The colour is called Tropical Island and does not appear to be part of the current range available to purchase in Boots. The colour is lovely and bright and contains a beautiful gold shimmer that is hard to capture on camera but only adds to the beauty in real life.

In the pictures I used 2 thin coats but still had a slight visible nail line so would wear 3 thin coats for solid coverage. The stamping for this design was done using Konad White Special nail polish and plate BM 315 from the new 2012 collection. The detail on this pretty paisley stamp is very intricate and transfers to the nail very crisply.

Whats not to love? Eye catching, summery (unlike the weather!) and so pretty. I got lots of lovely comments about these nails at work today. I cannot rave about the 2012 bundle plates enough. I love so many of the designs that I cannot imagine ever being stuck for a nail idea!
