Nails designed for Pink Concert

Good evening lovelies

The weekend is here... Whoop!

I finally decided I would show you these nails as unfortunately we recently found out that our postponed Pink gig has actually been cancelled and we will not get to see this tour at all. As you can imagine both little sis and I were gutted when we found out as we had been waiting years for another tour after missing out on the previous one. Looks like we have to box up our pink wigs and  false eyelashes for now...

These are the nails I designed for the day, we travelled to Birmingham (2.5 hours from home), checked into our hotel and shared a bottle of wine before we found out our gig had been postponed...

For the base colours I used Barry M Shocking Pink on my index and ring fingers with Barry M Black Multi on my middle and ring fingers. On my index finger I added one coat of Barry M Ruby glitter(bottle not shown) which is a pink and black mixed glitter in a clear base.

Using Barry M Silver Foil I stamped this skull and crossbones design onto my middle finger and then top coated it with Northern Lights Hologram Silver.

On my little finger I used raspberry coloured glitter by Chit Chat nails to make a pretty little accent nail :-).

For my thumb I stamped the word LOVE as the tour we were meant to see was called... The Truth About Love.

Using a black nail art pen I added the word P!NK to my ring finger... et voila

I was really pleased with how these turned out, such a shame the concert was not meant to be for us. We do have lots of other events planned this year to look forward to including tickets to V Fest in August :-). Onwards and upwards.

Have fabulous weekends :-)

Inspired by...Skittlette

Skittlette... isnt that a fantastic word?

It belongs to the very talented Marta at ChitChatNails who runs one of my most favourite nail blogs and is a very talented, not to mention busy lady. I honestly dont know how she has time to post so many fantastic manicures but I am thankful that she does :-).

Marta quite often posts manicures with a mixture of two or three accent nails and has dubbed this pretty look the Skittlette. Not quite a Skittle mani as that would need all five nails to be different but actaully I think a Skittlette is better as it is easy to tie two or three different accents into one cohesive manicure.

My index and middle fingers are two coats of W7 Black with the addition of some simple small round silver studs from Born Pretty Store.

My ring finger is two sparkly coats of NV Anthem stamped with my favourite butterfly design from plate BM 307 using W7 Black

For my pinky and thumb nails I started with one coat of Barry M Silver Foil and then layered over one coat of the new Barry M Ruby Glitter. This is unique in my current collection as it is the only glitter polish I have with black glitter particles in it. I'm pleased with how it looks in this mani but in all truth it looks better in the bottle.

So how do you like my Skittlette post? I think this is a great look and will mean I get through a fair few of my untrieds and still create a beautiful manicure that is worth wearing and sharing with you.
