Colour-Changing Rose Manicure

Hello!

Today's manicure is inspired by Wacky Laki's Blushing Roses manicure which I saw on Instagram. Please check her out if you like the mani because it's her idea and it's beautiful!

The idea is to pair rose stamping with a thermal polish to give the effect of the flowers blushing and changing colour. For my version I painted Dance Legend's colour-changing polish #178 as a base. I then stamped the rose pattern from my new MoYou Tourist 07 plate over it in black and top-coated.

To get a good photo of the effect I stuck my hand in the fridge-freezer first! One of the crazy things you do as a nail blogger! The Dance Legend polish changes from light pink to hot pink, here are two pics showing it off across my nails:

What a cool idea, right? Thanks to Wacky Laki for the inspiration!

Dance Legend Colour Changing Polish 178

Hello!

I said yesterday that I'd try to be back to let people know I'm alive, so here I am! My illness was a bad reaction to the codeine I've been taking for my gallbladder pain and I'm recovering now. As for that, my surgery is set for next Wednesday. Eek!

Today's post is a manicure I wore on Easter Monday when I went garden shopping with my nanna. I thought a thermal colour-changing polish would nicely reflect the changing weather, so I painted two coats of the pink Dance Legend polish I got for Christmas. Here it is in all its two-tone glory:

And here is the colour when it's cold:

I love this polish so much <3

MoYou Manicure

Hello!

First of all, I beg your patience while I learn to use my new lightbox (one of the lightbulbs blew so that doesn't help). Thank you!

This manicure was done using some of my Christmas presents. The base polish is Dance Legend's colour changing polish no.178, so I get lovely dark pink tips from the heat reaction. For the stamping I used plates 01 and 05 from MoYou's Mother Nature collection. I stamped birds from both plates and accompanying flowers, and just dotted some gold onto them as a finishing touch.

I had a very average experience with my first and only MoYou buy, but these Mother Nature plates have turned my opinion around completely. The images are stunning and are etched flawlessly. I am very glad I gave MoYou another chance and asked for these for Christmas!

Hugs,

Lisa's Post-Christmas Post!

Hello!

I hope you had a really lovely Christmas and that Santa treated you well! I was extraordinarily lucky as my parents got me a new laptop; I've spent Boxing Day setting everything up and getting my head around Windows 8.

The nail goodies I was given are a Dance Legend colour-changing polish, three beautiful-looking MoYou stamping plates, white stamping polish and cuticle balm. I also now own my very own lightbox! This means that I'll be able to take more consistent pictures for the blog rather than relying on how good the light is in my bedroom or back yard. I'll need practice on how to get the best photos out of it, but to begin with here are a couple of my presents:

Once the holiday excitement is over I have an idea for a new manicure, and I will definitely be posting at New Year. I would love to hear how your holidays are going!

Hugs,
