Catch up – April Challenge – Day 18 – Sugar Spun

Hi guys, I didn’t post this yesterday, I just didn’t have good mojo, so I decided to take a night off. I’ve noticed that on a Thursday I don’t always post, I’m usually exhausted from the week and not close enough to feel the vibes from the weekend, so I’ll start to try and anticipate that and set up a scheduled post or something. I know most people who read me blog themselves, so I’m sure you’ll understand :)

Did you see my guest post that Nidia published yesterday? How do you like it? Is stamping nail art cheating?

 

So enough with the rambling, here is my sugar spun mani !

It’s not my favourite technique, I find it a bit wasteful – I always spin more than I use, and I do find it a bit tedious. But I haven’t downright skipped a day yet, so it would be a shame not to make the effort! The base colour is O.P.I. Just Spotted the Lizard, from the Spiderman Collection (it’s a mini!).

I’ll just leave you with the one photo, I think this one makes my fingers look a bit stubby !

April Challenge – Day 15 – Water Marble

I went for a nice colourful water marble today, with the pink, purple and blue from the Models Own kaleidoscope box set and the black Models Own Pro.

I was pretty pleased with how it turned out, but my poor cuticles were so sore, I didn’t clean around them properly! Oh the shame…

April Challenge – Day 12 – Fishtail

I know, not only did I skip a blogging day, now I’m spamming you with two posts in one go !

Last time I did a fishtail, I taped it all over the place to get some space between the braids. Well, that came out great, but I’m having to move along a bit faster with this challenge :)

April Challenge – Day 9 – Plaid (Tartan)

Hi ladies,

This one caused me a bit of hassle, on two counts – (1) I had to google ‘plaid’ to work out what we needed to do :) sorry, but I live in France, where a ‘plaid’ is a blanket. Actually, I think we are supposed to do a tartan pattern. I hope so, anyway ! (2) my nail art pens wouldn’t work – I just couldn’t get an even flow. So please excuse the messiness of this mani !

I used mostly models own polish – the purple and the blue from the kaleidoscope box set :)

April Challenge – Day 6 – Pink

These first days of the challenge, based on colours, are just an excuse to showcase our favourite polishes, right?

Well, my favourite pink right now is by Lush LacquerPrincess Poodle ! It’s a mix of pink and black matte glitters, I love how it’s girly and punky at the same time :)

Besides Princess Poodle, I used black and white Models Own Pro and I need a Vacation (Essie).

April Challenge – Day 5 – Blue

Sorry I’m posting this a day late – I skipped blogging last night in favour of an early night, I’m sure you’ll all forgive me :)

Not everyone loves blue nails, but I do ! I couldn’t choose  - which blue to go for, so I went for a Skittles mani, and topped it all off with Darling Diva – Unicorn Bath. Simple, but I love it :)

Day 5 - Blue

For the base colours, I used Essie – Butler Please and Topaz of Luxury and White (Models Own Pro).
