Frequently Foiled

As you may or may not know I am slightly obsessed with Foils. I love them. I love them so much. I do not love how they wear but when put on with gel top coat they do slightly better. I couldnt get this to photograph properly but its actually an Ombre. Dark to light. Anyway I hope you like it.

Terribly Tropical

 I work in about half an hour out of Onslow in Western Australia. Onslow is barren. Its most known for the salt mines and now the gas plants but its barren. I grew up in Darwin which is not barren. Darwin is green. I CRAVE greenery like a drug.
Thanks to MoYou I can now have tropical nails so at least something up here is green :)

This is Shellac Serene Green stamped with Essie Chrome. I do love a dark green nail.

2014 Catch Up Post Five

I am a massive fan of all things kind of spooky but not actually scary. Halloween is so much fun! You can go all out with your nails and even my work didnt comment!

2014 Catch Up Post Four

You know how sometimes you try something you half saw on Pinterest or somewhere but you cant quite place it and it works and for the life of you there is no recollection of where you saw it but its so awesome you want to remember? Anyway some of these are that. If the sentence above was to make any sense at all which it doesnt.

Gellie Beans Burnt Meringue with CND Gilded Gleam brushed over a piece of netting. The Additives stick right to the tacky layer so if you dont like the way it comes out simply wipe off with alcohol, apply a thin layer of either the color or top coat, cure and go again.

Gelish Garden Teal Party with Tru Gel Lets Celebrate.

This is LeChat Black Velvet, THE best black gel I have found! So So good. No pullback, two coats to opaque, perfect. This is a hand painted swirly design I did over the top of the matte top coat. Looks so much better in person :)

The Tri-Polish Challenge March 19th

I have started another challenge!!! Glutton for punishment but the amazing girls at Crumpets Nail Tarts have come up with such an amazing idea so here goes.I have to use the SAME 3 colors in 4 manicures that I will post over the course of a month. This months colors are Coral, Green and Purple and have to be posted for the 19th/21st/26th/28th March. The colors I ended up choosing are Shellac Lilac Longing for my purple, Gelish Tiger Blossom for coral and Gelish Amazon Flirt for green. I am starting with simple and effective - the tape mani :)
Hope you like it and follow what everyone else is doing!
