The NCC presents "Inspired by Summer" #1 - Grey English Summer

Hello everyone! Today I have my first February mani for the Nail Challenge Collaborative. Our theme for this month is "Inspired by Summer", and summer feels pretty far away at the moment! So I thought I'd put a little spin on the traditional English grey, rainy summer and go monochrome!

I started with three coats of Color Club Sheer Disguise. I then dotted on flowers using Ciate Vintage and Color Club Silver Lake. Finally I added some cute little black and silver dragonfly stickers and finished with Seche Vite.

Its simple, but its a cute, quirky summer mani and I'm really happy with it. I've decided that I should use greys more often. I promise that my next summer mani will be a little more traditional in terms of colour at least! :)

Be sure to check out all the other (probably brighter!) summer designs by following the links below!

Tri Polish Tuesdays - February #1 - Hello brown, pink and grey!

Hello everyone! A new month and therefore a new colour scheme today for the Tri Polish challenge! For February the colours are brown, pink and grey. I chose these colours as I was trying to think of something a little different, and as I started to think about all the shades available, some really interesting colour palettes sprung to mind!

I've gone with all Color Club for my first February mani, starting with three coats of Positively Posh. I then added two flowers to each nail in diagonally opposite corners using She's Soooo Glam and Silver Lake. I then added a few curvy lines of graduated dots to complete the look and finished with Seche Vite.

I think these are cute, despite the fact that I've used colours that I usually steer clear of. I also hadn't used many of my Color Clubs for a while and I have since used the excuse that today is my birthday to go online and order a ton of new ones! 

I'll be back with another spin on these three colours next Tuesday and in the meantime, take a look at all the other Tri Polish Tuesdays manis by following the links below :)
