Attention Seeking Black Flowers

Good evening lovelies

I hope your day went well? I am not a fan of Tuesdays but wearing nails this bright and beautiful certainly helped :-)

Christmas Nails: Reindeer and Hearts

Hey loves

Tonight I have my first Christmas meal out, only another seven to go!  Seriously I have so much eating to do I really must invest in some exercise equipment or some elasticated pants at the very least :-).

Tonight I have some glitzy nails to show you...

Grey and Pink Skittlette

Good evening lovelies

Guess what... its Yo Sushi Sister night tonight! I love the last Monday of every month :-). Time to eat great food and catch up on gossip :-).

While I am off eating so much food that I need to roll out of the restaurant door I will leave you to look at this pretty grey and pink skittlette :-)

For my index and middle finger I started with two easy coats of Decoded by Orly. Decoded is from last years Autumn collection called Electronica and is a dark grey creme polish. It was a little on the thick side which did not cause me any problems and may also make it ideal for stamping. I will test that theory out soon and let you know :-).

For stamping and also on my little finger I used Color Club On the Rocks. I love that even though its a silver foil polish it dries with no streaks. I think that is thanks to the tiny silver glitter particles packed into this bright and reflective polish.

On my ring finger I used three coats of this intensely bright pink (reminds me of Barbie!) from the new Barry M Gelly collection. I only just purchased this one and although I am glad to have it to complete my collection I do not like it as much as the other three. It is called Dragon Fruit.

As mentioned above I used On the Rocks to stamp over Decoded. On the Rocks is great for stamping and the shimmer particles give it an added dimension. The pattern I used is from BM 203. I cannot believe I have had this plate for so long and never used any design from it.

Finally I have included two additional pictures below to show off two of my home made nail polish rings. Both match this grey and pink skittlette perfectly and were made using gorgeous polishes made for me by Colores de Carol.

I hope you liked this skittlette? I have a real love of grey and pink together so this one was a favourite for me :-).

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.
