Hello everyone! Sorry for the lack of post yesterday, we laid a new floor in Scarlett's bedroom and it didn't leave a lot of time for nails (apart from repairing the one that got broken - luckily on the non famous hand lol).
I will be catching up on my late TPC mani later on but for now I have a happy "Yay! Its nearly summer" mani using products I received for review from Born Pretty Store. They sent me some fabulous bee themed water decals which I have used here as part of a buzzy skittlette.
I painted my thumb and pinky nails with LA Colors Black Velvet before adding some of the cute little silver bee water decals (they applied so easily!). I painted my index finger with Kleancolor Neon Yellow and added a wide stripe of Black Velvet before adding a silver honeycomb decal through the middle. For my middle and ring nails, I freehanded some blakc and yellow stripes to complete the look, before finishing them all with Seche Vite.
I love this busy bee look! The little silver decals didn't look that impressive on the sheet, but once I started playing with them and they contrasted so well against the black polish, I was totally won over!
You can find these and a ton of other lovely decals (I have some super cute ones to show you at a later date!) here and you can use the code UKX31 to get 10% off your order.
I'm off for an extended nail catch up and hopefully will have a Tri Polish mani for you later today :)

Hello everyone! I'm back again and we're almost at the end of the NAILS Magazine March challenge. Today's theme is "Mint". There were lots of options open for this one, but he furst thing that pops into my head is Mint Choc Chip ice cream and I stopped thinking right about then :)
I started by painting a base of Sinful Colors Glass Pink and then painted across the lower half of each nail with Color Club Earthy Angel. Next I added some fine criss cross detail using Models Own Nude Beige with a fine detail brush and the cone was done. For the ice cream itself, I used Barry M Greenberry (I used the brush straight from the bottle to add it) and added irregular chocolate chips with Color Club Rebel Spirit before finishing with Seche Vite.
Something cute and fun for Friday! The madness of the Easter holiday starts here at midday - Scarlett has over three weeks off so I will be balancing nails with entertaining housefuls of 7 and 8 year olds who want their nails painted! They may even get their own post if I'm running short! In other news I'm looking into doing a course that will allow me to teach nail art/colour theory etc - so exciting! But more about that another day :)
We're in for a lovely warm weekend here in London so maybe I will actually get to eat an ice cream instead of looking longingly at these nails!!!
