I Heart You

Evening all :-)

I hope you are doing well? Thank you for your nice words of support about our recent bathroom crisis. We are still travelling to my sister's to use her shower but we are closer to having our own bathroom back together. I picked this particular stamp as a little dedication to my hard working hubby...

I started with two nice easy coats of Bourjois So Laque in Bleu Asphalte. Its a very dark grey polish with lovely application and could be a careful one coater if you were in a rush. I applied two anyway as it improves the richness of the overall colour.

I then stamped this pretty little heart and dots pattern from Konad M78. The genuine Konad plates are very expensive so I dont own too many of them - I was fortunate enough to receive this one in error (I ordered M77) and the seller let me keep it as an apology for the inconvenience :-)

I painted the one little pink heart on my ring finger nail to show my eternal love for my husband. He is working such long shifts already but still coming home every night and working extra hard on rebuilding our bathroom and kitchen.

Have a Great Evening

Peacock skittle nails

Happy Sunday :-)

Hope you are all enjoying your weekends? Today we went for a stroll around the city, enjoyed a little shopping spree and then back home to spend time with the doggies and enjoy a lazy evening.

These pretty peacock nails were a slight labour of love as I had originally intended on using water decals for the two accent nails, however after a frustrating amount of time spent trying to make them look crease free and pretty I gave up and turned to my trusty bundle monster stamps.

To create this look I used W7 Black, BYS Metallic Blue Sapphire and Bourjois Vert Chlorophylle. These are all stunning polishes but in particular I am loving the Bourjois green polish from the So Laque collection. The full range of So Laque polishes is now officially on my lemming list :-)

I stamped in Barry M Silver Foil using the peacock print on plate BM 212. I then used my medium dotting tool to add the feather centres in BYS Metallic Blue Sapphire.

Although I was disappointed to not use the peacock water decals I am really pleased with how this turned out. This stamping is so effective and remains a firm favourite of mine from the 2011 plate collection.

Gorgeous sunshine swatch pictures below... Look at the beautiful shimmer in the BYS Metallic Blue polish. I love that these polishes are only £1.50 each. I am totally buying the whole collection!

I hope you enjoyed this skittle manicure. Do you like wearing something different on each nail?

Have a great Sunday evening
