Neons on Nude

Happy Wednesday

More than half way through the week already! Ive been working on some custom pieces of nail polish jewellery this week. A friend of mine is going to a wedding on Saturday and has treated herself to a pretty pastel dress especially for the big day. I am making a ring to match and also doing her gel nails on Friday night. The ring is taking a while as the drying time in between sponged layers of pastel polish is quite long but it will be totally worth it.

Time for another manicure inspired by the sunny weather we have enjoyed in the past week...

Pink and Green Filigree: Favourite Nails

Happy Friday!

Its the weekend and I cannot wait. I mentioned earlier in the week that I have a lot planned and I am really looking forward to being busy in such great company. Tonight I am going to a beauty party with my sister and our best friends. There is no doubt I will enjoy an evening of testing out the latest make up samples, catching up with friends and hopefully getting a sneaky peek of any new polish collections that are yet to hit the shelves :-)

Here are my nails for the night which just so happen to be some of my favourites for a while...

Two in One: Green and Blue Nails

Happy Hump Day lovelies

Regular followers may feel a little de ja vu looking at this mani but I assure you its all new and created especially for this post. I have in fact shown you these colours and prints in the past but this is the first time I put them together and I love how it looks...

Textured Polish Challenge: Green Filigree

Good evening lovelies

Day three and going strong. This will be a quick post from me as I have two gel polish clients about to arrive for an evening of manicures and gossiping :-)

Caviar and Chandelier nails

Good evening lovelies

How are well all? I am glad today is over... Tuesday is my hate day as I have probably mentioned before so I am always glad to get to the evening so I can enjoy a little time to unwind. Mr LiPP goes kickboxing on Tuesdays so I get the house and the doggies to myself, usually we just curl up on the sofa surrounded by nail polish and chocolate, taking advantage of having full control over the tv remote :-).

These little pretties are from the weekend...

Loves Me Not Filigree Nails

Happy Monday lovelies
How was your weekend? We had such a busy one but it was all really good fun. Unfortunately the weather was not as amazing as we had hoped but that didnt stop us and we went ahead and either hosted or attended the BBQ's we had originally planned. On Sunday evening the weather recovered and the sun finally came out so we were able to sit outside and enjoy ice-cream :-).

Regular follows will know how much I adored Sally Hansen Loves Me Not the first time I wore it so I was excited to wear it again with one of my all time favourite stamped patterns.

The original swatch post can be seen here.

Pomegranate Filigree Nails

Good evening lovelies

Did you have a lovely weekend? We certainly did. Had such a lovely family day with my sister in law and niece on Saturday. On Sunday I was in the city and could not resist picking up all 5 of the new Barry M Gelly's and I cant wait to show some nail art using them as the colours are bold and fabulous. We did break out the BBQ as planned but the weather was disappointing and we had to eat inside :-(.

Onto my nail of the weekend...

I started with just one coat of Barry M Gelly in Pomegranate. This is an all time favourite of mine and I love that I could get away with just one coat as I only had 20 minutes to do my nails before we started our road trip to Clacton. Pomegranate dries super quick and super glossy.

Then using Konad White and Konad Black on alternative nails I stamped using this really eye catching filigree pattern from plate Pueen 26.

I was incredibly lucky to receive the gorgeous Love Lace Pueen plates from Carolina of Colores de Carol fame. Carolina read a comment I left pining after these beautiful new plates and offered to post them to me from the States. Of course I jumped at her very kind offer and just three weeks later I had the full beautiful collection arrive as the best Nail Mail ever. Carolina also gifted me one of the beautiful new colours from her very own Summer Collection which I will swatch for you very soon.

How do you like my alternative stamping? Would you prefer to see all one colour?

Thanks for reading
