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 :-)

Mint Glitter loveliness

Good evening lovelies

Sometimes you just need something simple and cute to adorn your nails. Tonight I settled on exactly that combination.

I hope you enjoy my pretty like a mermaid nails of the day... :-)

For this manicure I started out with two coats of Rimmel Peppermint (a present from my bro in law!). Peppermint is a lovely mint green polish that leans slightly aqua green after two coats. I love it!

I decided to top this pretty green with one coat of No 7 Paradise Love. I believe this colour is quite new to the No 7 collection and I got it during a recent voucher promotion. Whilst surfing the nail blogosphere I noticed that others where saying this is a dupe for Deborah Lippman Mermaids Dream. If that is true then this was a bargain as any of the DL polishes are out of my budget! :-)

I really enjoyed this simple look and used this combination of colours to create a really pretty nail polish ring which I will post up on Instagram soon (follow l_i_p_p).

Valentines Nails: Pink, Coral and Gold

Good evening lovelies!

Time for another Valentine's installment :-).This one I really liked and meant I got to use two very pretty colours from my current untrieds stash. I really love combining shades of pink and orange together so this manicure was a win win for me!

I started by painting my full nail with two coats of Rimmel In Style Coral. This pretty summery colour is one of my favourite shades of Coral and a complete bargain to me as I got it from good old Poundland :-)

Then using Rimmel Be A Star I painted just half of each nail. This is a very pretty pink and I love how these two colours work together. Also having this line running down the length of my nail made my nails look longer.

Flash on

I added one quick coat of Northern Lights Gold Hologram top coat - to aid drying time and also add a nice little sparkle.

Finally using Barry M Gold Foil I stamped a line of hearts up each nail using part of this full heart design which is perfect for Valentines.

I hope you like this finished design? Have you been busy planning something special for Valentine's Day?

Mr LiPP and I are going to celebrate on Friday night so we can chill out and not worry about work the next day :-)
