Dream Combo: Turquoise and Peach

Happy Monday

I had such a lovely weekend that I didnt want it to be over so I am very glad that Monday has flown by and I am back home in my comfies doing what I love... NAILS!! This colour combination happened totally by accident when I was recently re-organising my stash and these lovelies ended up next to each other on the shelf. I hope you like them too...

Beautifully Bright with Flowers and Glitter

Its time for fun Friday nails :-)

I am so excited about this weekend. Tomorrow us ladies are off to Newmarket Races for the day. We will place some small bets, enjoy the friendly competition, have a few drinks and enjoy being dressed up in our finery :-). Then in the evening we are staying to watch James Arthur live in concert before getting the train home. On Sunday we are going to Cooper's 1st birthday party and then spending some real quality time with Dad who has been through the mill a bit recently and needs some TLC.

Blue and Yellow Flower nails

Happy Friday lovelies

Just as I moaned that we havent seen any sunshine yet we are apparently at the beginning of a mini heatwave! Two weeks of sunshine are predicted with Sunday set to be an absolute scorcher! I cannot wait, it makes the weekends so much more enjoyable when you can spend time outside, not to mention its a great opportunity to break out the summer wardrobe!

I just had to do a summery bright manicure to match the upcoming forecast :-)

I started with two easier than easy coats of Barry M Gelly in Guava on all nails except my ring finger. Guava is the brightest turquoise I have in my polish collection and I love it! I have been wearing it on my toes for the past few weeks and it still looks perfect.

On my ring finger I used two coats of Almost Famous by Color Club topped with one sparkly coat of Daisy Does also by Color Club. Almost Famous is a gorgeous bright yellow that as with every other yellow I own applied streaky. After two coats I could still see streaks so I reached for Daisy Does and applied a nice thick coat as a topper. Daisy Does has a yellow base and contains lots of yellow and gold glass flecks.

For the finishing touches I carefully applied one small square yellow rhinestone to each of the turquoise nails and over the yellow ring finger I stamped a simple flower design using the same turquoise polish - Barry M Guava.

This below picture was taken with the forced flash on so you can really see the pretty glass flecks in the yellow Daisy Does polish.

I hope you all have fantastic weekends - no doubt mine will involve nail polish as I had some fantastic nail mail arrive today :-)

Rose for a Rose

Good evening lovelies!

How are we all doing so far this week? It is my Grandad's birthday this week so we are having some family over for tea for a little mid week celebration. I am doing us a nice chicken curry in the slow cooker as it takes the stress out of being stuck in the kitchen all night - plus the house will smell lovely as soon as I walk in the door! Got to love the slow cooker. Anyway onto my nail of the day...

I started with two super easy coats of Revlon Guava (coral pink) and Revlon Hazy (soft grey). These are my first Revlon polishes and I was very excited to find them in a set of three during a recent TK Maxx haul.

Then using Konad White I stamped a large single rose on each of the pink nails using plate BM 14 and one of myall time favourite prints of roses and vines from Konad M65 on the grey accent nail.

I mentioned recently that I was looking for my perfect pale grey - Is this it? Do you think I have found it?

Two little white roses for my thumb nail...

I am loving this look - the two colours work really well togethe. I am looking forward to showing you the third polish from the set, Revlon Ocean, which is a shimmery blue/green foil.

Take care
