Yellow and Pink Roses

Happy Friday lovelies!

How is your weekend looking? I am excited about Saturday night in particular as us girlies are going out for a meal to a steak restaurant where the food is served on hot rocks, meaning the steak cooks as you eat it! I have heard fantastic things about the restaurant so am really looking forward to trying it out for myself!

In the meantime here is my nail of the day...

I started with a base of Barry M Lemon Icecream on all nails. For such a pale colour it has a really great formula and I only needed two coats.

Using Barry M Gelly in Pomegranate I then stamped one of my most favourite designs, the large roses, onto each nail. This design can be found on plate BM 323 and I honestly use it all the time for both nail art and jewellery design.

Speaking of jewellery, I could not resist making a nail polish ring to match this beautifully bright manicure. For the ring I added just one coat of Color Club Daisy Does It as the glass cabochon really brings out the beautiful yellow and gold shimmer.

Also as I fell totally in love with the yellow and pink colour combination I also make a ring featuring my new and already much used owl stamp from the new Pueen plates.

A slightly unusal combination but I love it so much :-). Last time I wore pink and yellow together my sister in law said it reminded her of my favourite retro sweets, Fruit Salads!

I hope you liked seeing my new pieces of nail polish jewellery.

Have fantastic weekends

Skittlette and my first nail polish jewellery

Good evening lovelies

I am so excited about my post tonight... Not only am I using gorgeous colours from a new Spring 2013 collection but I have made my first pieces of nail polish jewellery and included them in some of the below pictures for you to see!

Firstly the polishes...

I started with two easy coats of Color Club Flamingo (bright pink).  Flamingo is part of the Fiesta collection released for Spring this year. I was lucky enough to snap up the full collection in TK Maxx last weekend :-).

On my ring finger I used just one coat of Color Club Wild Cactus (stunning green). I then topped this with two coast of Orly Go Deeper, from the Glam FX collection. I love this green glitter!

For my thumb I used two coats of Wild Cactus, once that was dry I dotted on Flamingo using both ends of my Orly dotting tool.

Here we go... first picture to include jewellery... :-)

As you can see this ring is made using Go Deeper polish with the glass bead set into an ornate silver ring blank.

A picture with the flash on... check out the beautiful shimmery colours in Go Deeper.

To tie the pink and green together I added some tiny green star shaped rhinestones and of course a few more dots :-)

Matching earrings...

I am so pleased with my first few pieces of jewellery. What do you think? I have ordered myself a small selection of glass beads and ring blanks so I can experiment some more :-). If you have any suggestions or recommendations for polishes I should use then please leave me a comment - I would love to hear from you.
