This weeks nails and a few other designs from recently...

Hi all

So am back from my mini road trip down South to finish out a busy week of work (and packing) before moving on to a friends place. But I've still found time to do my nails, of course! Went for simplicity and wanted an image from the 2013 Bundle Monster plates - havn't had much of a chance to play around with them yet.

Picked purple for my colours - going with Barry M Chameleon for the base coat & Klean colour mini in Metallic Purple for the stamping.

I then used the cute smilies from the collection (BM-304)

And the final product:

Quite proud of myself, starting to get neater with my basecoat painting :D

Only thing was can't put on a top coat - attempted after these pics and both my clears changed the basecoat colour to dark purple and smudged the smilies. Guess thats what I get for using a polish taht changes colour in hot and cold haha.

Here's a few more pics.

Base colour before stamping (looks more silver than purple, must be because hands are warm for once!)

Other hand.

And here's a roller derby mani I did for a game the other month - got a lot of comments from my fellow BRDG league members :D

I did the following on each finger:

Pivot stripe on Ring finger (had to make my own 'stamp', used double layer of cellotape on the back of a plate to create a stripe).

Freehanded a roller skate on my middle finger.

 Lightening bolts on my pinkie, just cause they are cool :D (BM-305)

 A Jammer star on my pointer. (BM05)

And on my thumb stamped the word Derby. (m18 & m17)

And a pic at the actual bout (we were sitting in the suicide seats for the first game;)

Hope you liked them.  

Till next week.

Once Upon a Time Challenge - Day 3 Favourite Female Character in Once Upon A Time....

Today's another Once Upon a Time Challenge - yay! This time it is your favourite female character. Mine is Bell - possibly cause the actress is Australian and that's close to New Zealand? haha I really have no idea why she's my favourite, but she's the one I've chosen.

I've only used two polishes - Klean colour mini in metallic Yellow (so gold in other words) and Konad Special Polish in Wine Red.  Gold because Mr Gold is her beloved and red because it reminds me of her (think it's all the red lipstick she wears, not as much as ruby but close!).

So here's the mani.

I used BM-314 for the flower/leaf design on three fingers - figured it looked elegant like Bell is.

Then used BM12 for the chains - representing her being held prisoner for so long by Regina.

Finally on the Thumb I used another image from OMG salon Pro 4 plate - Bell herself - looking worried, as she usually does whenever she's around Mr Gold as he's usually up to no good and she is usually trying to stop him.

Hope you like it and make sure you check out the other girls doing the challenge
