Hi lovelies,

I hope you had a great long weekend.  I know it came at a perfect time for me.  Just a pity it went so fast. 

 

I am so in love with OPI – Push and shove that I just can’t stop using it. I am also still completely obsessed with stamping so today is a combination of the two.   

I started with the special base coat – OPI – Lay down that base – and then 2 coats of OPI – Push and shove on my pinky, middle and index.  I then used 2 coats of Essence – Free hugs on my ring and thumb.  When that was all completely dry I stamped using Pueen31.  I used Essence – free hugs to stamp on the silver and OPI – Push and shove to stamp on the pink.  Topcoat and you’re done.

 I know the instructions say not to topcoat Push and shove but I always topcoat stamping otherwise it is just inclined to come off.  I also think topcoat makes the stamping even more opaque. 

 Do you think the topcoat has dulled Push and shove?  Do you also like the pink and silver together?  I’d love to hear what you think of this.

 

Thanks for reading.

 

Xoxo

Hi lovelies,

I hope you are having a good week.  It is so chilly here that all I want to do is curl up under a blanket with a movie.  If only right?

 

I am having a hectic week so I knew I wanted something cute but quick and easy to do on my nails.  I love polka dots and it is such a cute way to spice up a stunning polish.  Let me show you what I cam up with.

I used 2 coats of China Glaze – Purr-fect plum on my pinky, index and thumb and 2 coats of OPI – Love.Angel.Music.Baby (L.A.M.B) on my middle finger.  I adore L.A.M.B, it is a beautiful matte gold.  I then painted 2 coats of Sincul Colors – Snow me white on my ring finger and left that to dry.  I then used dotting tool in various sizes and Purr-fect plum and L.A.M.B to make dots of different sizes on top of the white.  I started with the biggest dots and filled in spaces with the smaller dots. 

I think the plum and the gold go together quite well and it is suitable for the weather as well.  What do you think? 

 

Thanks for reading,

Michelle

Hi lovelies,

I am back again!  I hope you have had a wonderful week! 

Last week I told you a bit about how I like wearing neon colour in the cooler months just by pairing it with the typical ‘autumn / winter’ shades of polish.  I am showing you one more variance today and it’s one of my favourites. 

I did a traditional french manicure using China Glaze – Recycle and China Glaze – Too yacht to handle.  Recycle is a rich grey colour that is perfect for the colder seasons.  I started with 2 coats of Recycle on all my nails and when that was completely dry I used Essence french manicure tip guides.  I then used Too yacht to handle on my tips and removed the tape after each nail was done.  Topcoat and you’re done.

Depending on how much of a pop you want with the bright colour you could always do it the other way around.  Start with the Too yacht to handle and do the tips in Recycle.  Or you could leave it as is and just reverse one nail for an accent.  You could also do this with a great variety of colours. 

Is this something you would wear?  I would love to see if you do.

Let me know if you would like me to do anything specific or a theme or even if you have a picture you would like me to use as inspiration.  Maybe a dress or an outfit?

Have a lovely week and I will see you next week with something super cute!

Thanks for reading.
