Blue and Purple Mix Up

Good evening lovelies. TGI Friday!!!

I have been looking forward to this weekend all week. We dont have anything special planned but I just wasnt ready to be back at work full time - it has been a hard week and I'm in the mood for some down time.

Tonight I am at my sister's for tea. There will be 6 of us girlies and 4 dogs so I am sure chaos will follow :-).  Other than that I am going to make the most of each day and enjoy every second. I do have a special post planned along with a polish buddy of mine so look out for my first 'twin' post on Sunday.

Here are my nails of the day...

For this party skittlette mani I started by painting alternate nails with Barry M Bright Purple and Color Club Total Mystery. Total Mystery is a vibrant blue with lots of pretty shimmer to add depth.

I then stamped using Barry M Silver Foil and the fishnet style design found on Cheeky plate CH 11.

Lastly I added some sparkle by adding one layer to my index and little fingers of W7 Moonlight. I adore this glitter and the amazing coverage you get with just one coat! I have included a picture below with the forced flash on my camera so you can see how reflective the sparkle is.

I hope you all have fantastic weekends - it is apparently going to snow in the UK on Sunday so I plan on making the most of any good weather on Saturday in case the country grinds to a halt at the first sign of snow again!

Take care Louise xx

Pretty Purple Nails and Filigree

Good evening lovelies

This is just a quick post to show you the nails I am wearing to go away with work for two days :(. This is traumatic for many reasons... I hate being away from Mr LiPP overnight, I will miss our puppies and of course I will have no access to nail related products! On the plus side, I get to wear these pretty nails for two days and also I will be with my little sister as we work for the same company. Road trip anyone ;) ?!

I started with a base of two coats of Barry M Indigo, which is a really rich blurple and alternates between navy and purple depending on the light source. I then added one coat of my new Color Club Total Mystery. Its a stunning blue colour containing glass flecks in pink and purple. The sparkle was a little camera shy but I will post some swatches of this next time the sun shines as it really is pretty.

For the stamping I reached for two of my all time favourites - Filigree from plate BM 201 and Butterflies from plate 307 using sparkly Barry M Silver Foil. Top coat Seche Vite as always.

By the time you read this post we will be on our Sisters Road Trip. No doubt eating as many almod croissants as we can, not to mention munching family bag size packets of crisps and listening to the new Pink album on repeat - we have tickets to see Pink next year and are so excited!!

I will be so glad to get home to Mr LiPP and the puppies.
