Party Nails!

Happy Thursday lovelies!

Tonight I thought I would resist my desperate urge to paint Christmas nails and try out some of the lovely new polishes I picked out at the Clothes Show last weekend. To be honest these nails do have a party theme so you could wear them to a party which just so happened to be a Christmas party... :-)


For this party themed skittle I picked out three new W7 shades. I started with Last Tango in Paris on my index and middle fingers. Its a gorgeous mix of cerise pink, plum and purple. It shimmers beautifully and I'm really pleased with the finish which was perfect after two thin coats.


I used W7 Blue-Tini for my little finger and thumb. It is so bright it could almost be a neon but has the added depth of gorgeous electric blue shimmers and also a few plum sparkles for added good measure. Again another easy to apply colour and I only needed two thin coats.


Lastly I painted W7 Monnlight onto my ring finger and along the top half of my thumb nail. Moonlight is a really densely packed glitter polish that has many shades of blue, purple, silver and pink hidden within.


Sticking with the party theme I stamped this cute little cocktail design onto just my index finger. Who doesn't love a cocktail?


As it is the festive season and I cannot resist sparkles and shinies (yes like a magpie) I added some co-ordinating pink and blue square rhinestones, and then a row of silver square studs for my thumb finally completed this manicure.


What do you think? Would you wear this sparkly skittle manicure for a party or do you prefer all your nails to match?

Have a lovely evening and TGI almost Friday!

Mint and Silver

Following on from the success of my peach and gold combination manicure from a few days ago I have been trying to think up another combination that I could love as much.

I decided to reach for another polish from the Barry M pastel collection and also some embellishments to create an accent nail. Here are the results...


For this manicure I used Barry M Mint Green as the base colour. This is a gorgeous polish but does require three thin coats for a nice solid colour with no visible nail line. I then stamped using Barry M Silver Foil and the swirly line design found on plate BM 205.


I then created a ring finger accent nail (my favourite kind) using three square studs purchased from the Born Pretty Store. This is the first time I have used these and unfortunately I had trouble getting into the packaging and dropped at least 900 out of the 1000 studs all over my carpet :-(.

I think this pretty peach and gold combination still remains my favourite but mint and silver is a very close second.

Take care
