The Dog Ate My Stamping Polish

Yes, its true. As I like spending time painting my nails, the hound gets jealous and he 'hides' polishes. This week alone I have lost a bottle of Seche Vite and two bottles of China Glaze. He usually hides them under the sofa, and brings them out when you least suspect it so he can run away while chewing.

So, when I came to stamp today and my wonderful Barry M Silver Nail Foil was missing I knew who to blame. As I had an idea of what I wanted, nothing else would do and I have had to buy a replacement bottle. However, he is threatened that if he doesn't find it quick smart he is going to be in big trouble.

Today's pink for Breast Cancer Awareness is actually Magenta Motion from the Sally Hansen Insta-dri range. It goes on so well you only really need one coat. Although I have used two. The stamping is from Konad plate M65.

I think it looks quite delicious.

A day of two peaks...no, not 'those' peaks

Absolutely love this mani, I did it this morning and it made my heart soar. The PeriPeri polish is scented, and it put me off slightly. But, over the day I have been asked several times by different folk why I am sniffing my fingers and I am glad to report it is for no reason more seedy than I have fantastic smelling polish on my fingertips. The shade is P043, and it has a wonderful cat lid.

The base polish is Sally Hansen Rose -a-go-go from the Insta-dri range. It dries matt, which was a pleasant surprise, but it is a really hungry polish and snaffled up loads of seche vite before I realised I had enough, it just wanted more.

Incredible lows today aswell. Its been nearly 5 months since my husband saw his children and it is breaking his heart, and mine. I wish there was something I could do about it, but alas, the decisions are being taken out of our hands.

I wish you all well, and if you have kiddly peeps hug them tightly tonight from me.

31 Day Nail Challenge #27 Inspired by Art

I found this challenge a bit difficult, as I don't have an artist I go crazy for. But, I do own a very wonderful Doug Hyde picture which was brought for my first wedding anniversary. So, I had a look for one of his designs I could replicate on my nails.

I decided on this picture.

Then it turned our complete trash, so I changed to an 'interpretation' of this one

For this manicure I used Sally Hansen Insta-dri Whirlwind White, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - Delphinium and a couple of sharpies!

Here are the results.

If anyone is interested in the artist, here is a link to his webpage

If he see's this, I apologise for massacaring your lifes work. It isn't intentional, I tried hard.

Here are what the other people taking part in the challenge have done.
