Matching your nails to your dress - who said that was a bright idea???

Hello everyone! So this weekend I am heading to the wedding of two lovely people. Even better, they are getting married on HMS Warrior in Portsmouth so we have a bit of a road trip and are staying in a hotel on the harbour so we can take full advantage of the party!

I had decided what to wear about a week ago, had nails planned and everything (go me with the forward planning). Decided, that is, until today, when I completely changed my mind and found another dress. Obviously that meant different nails too. It also meant spending several hours painting both hands (therefore about 20 minutes on my left hand, but about 90 to do my right!). My neck is now completely stiff/sore so I'm glad I won't be even looking at a bottle of polish until at least Sunday (except for painting Scarlett's nails in the morning).

I started with a black base and waited for it to dry. I then painted in the base colour for the flowers in Color Club She's Sooo Glam and the base for the leaves with OPI My Vampire is Buff. I added detail to the flowers with a fine detail brush using Barry M Gelly Blood Orange, Ciate Mistress and Jessica Imperial Rouge. I finished the leaves with LA Colors Solar Gold, Jessica Bittersweet and Color Club Rebel Spirit, before finishing with Seche Vite.

Here's where we'll be tomorrow, can't wait!

 

And here's a quick pic of the fabric of my dress - the colours aren't showing very true, but I can assure you that I have matched them perfectly lol! ;)

So there probably won't be a post tomorrow, but I'm guessing I'll be posting a few pics on IG, so if you're interested, you can follow me here!
