New Beginnings

After yesterday being suitably sombre I decided that today should represent new life, and what better new life than flowers.

I lurve daisys, they are just so pretty and beautiful and simple, so here they are adorning my nails. Must admit this mani got quite a few compliments as I went about my day and I would love to do it again.

I used China Glaza Kiwi Cool Ada as the base, with the middle dot being made from Barry M 134 Yellow and the white dots using Rimmel French Tip White.

Don't forget, we have the Pinktober challenge coming up for Breast Cancer. Can't wait to have a whole month of pink. Its like I have landed in heaven.

31 Day Challenge - Day 3 - Yellow ( and awesome nail mail)

So it is day 3 and we are already on Yellow. Now for people who have read parts of my blog before it isn't my favourite colour by a long shot, but hey. I thought I would once again do my own interpretation of it. So I have gone for Yellow Gold :) See what I did there.

So, I have used two coats of Miss Sporty Gold Backstage and slipped over the top of it a couple of coats of Color Club Gingerbread. I think it looks quite nice. Although I could have done better as I painted my friends nails and work and used a coat of Barry M Gold Foil nail paint, a konad stamp of leopard print and then picked uot some of the spots using Gingerbread. It looked amazing, I just didn't have the camera with me to take pictures!

But now shall we get onto the exciting stuff? Woot Woot

Firstly are my first tip toes back into the world of Nails Inc. Must admit I loved Nails Inc in the past when I was a slip of a lass. But I liked it for the name and the formula was actually not something that suited me. But, I saw these babies and couldn't resist. I only got the two colours incase in didn't suit me anymore but the Pink Diamond was only £6.50 and the Emerald £8.50 with free delivery from www.Asos.com.

Now onto the next pretties. I have heard loads of good things about Kiko polish, but the only way to purchase it was to have a delivery more than £25. It took a few days to get my head around this because it meant buying a shed loads of polish. But hey, I have the room to store them and they were a fantastic price, so let me introduce you to...

The Pinkest Yellow Challenge In The West

Well, where to start? I don't like yellow nails. I don't have the skin tone to carry it off, and I don't like the colour. I don't think I actually own a yellow item of clothing!

So, I decided the best thing I could do with this manicure is to make it something I would like. So I set out to make my nails like rhubarb and custard and mainly covered them with pink! However, I do have yellow feature nail and yellow tips on the pink ones.

All I can say is I am very glad that yellow is over! What do you think?

For added information I used Sally Hansen, Hard as Nails 610 Hard Lemonade and Colour Club pale pink which was unnamed in a set.
