Tri Polish Tuesdays April #1 - Yellow, pink and blue!

Hello everyone! Here comes today's catch up post! As expected, the school holidays have sent my blogging and painting schedule completely out of the window! Having OH home for a week as well also makes for constant interruptions so I really didn't stand a chance! Never mind, onwards and upwards!

Today (or yesterday) sees the start of another colour combination for April and this time its yellow, pink and blue. I chose a simple sponged rainbow using Models Own Lemon Meringue, and LA Colors Aquatic and Pink Bubbles and finished with a coat of Seche Vite.

I'm really loving this retro tie dye effect that is created by sponging just a few colours together! 

I'm off for another round of Minecraft tutorials/cake pop making/7 year old nail painting (delete as appropriate!) and I will be desperately trying to have tomorrow's GOT Pastel mani ready on time!

NAILS Mag 31DC March Day 12 - Rainbow (A new glitter bomb!)

Hello everyone! You may notice that I skipped a day of the 31DC yesterday! Well, the prompt was purple and I have combined that one with the GOT polish purple prompt for tomorrow. It will also cover my "Dots and Stripes" for FingerFood's Theme Buffet prompt this week. I am operating at the highest possible efficiency lol :)

First though we have rainbows! I jumped at the chance to create another glitter bomb with my L-A Glitter Nails polishes, so starting with a white base, I painted in the rainbow using Lemon, Carrot, Grape, Sapphire, Peacock and Apple. For a little extra detail, I dotted Nail Essentials Silver Shimmer along each colour divide.

Nothing like an understated mani, eh? ;) I'm loving the super bright designs at the moment in case you hadn't noticed - they're really cheering me up! I've designated the rest of today a drawing/painting and Xbox day to complete the package. I'm on antibiotics which are making me feel horrible so I'm having a "feeling sorry for myself so its all about me" day :)

I'll be back with another guest post for you later today and the three prompt mani tomorrow!

GOT Polish Challenge - Green!

Hello everyone! Today I am back on board the GOT polish challenge - everything got a bit hectic last week and I missed it, but I'm back for green! I love greens and have now decided that I don't have nearly enough. I got out all the greens I own that are more than one year old and once again tried to decide between them. Then realized, again, that I couldn't so used them all! Again...

I started with a base of French White and then added sections of each green, starting with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Teeny Greeny Bikini, then Revlon Sassy and Sinful Colors Exotic Green. I finished by adding Color Club Fly With Me between each colour and a top coat of Seche Vite.

Looking at the pictures I realize that I've created something similar to the rainbow mani I did last month, but this one is a green rainbow (maybe I should've saved it for St Patrick's Day!). I'm in love with most of these greens and even though they probably shouldn't all ever be seen together, I think it works!

Next week our theme is Valentines, so many manis to come up with for this theme - hmmmm... :)
