Red & Blue Mani ~ Inspired by Fishing4Beauty

Hello!

Today I decided to make my short nails pop with an inspiring mani I've had on my Pinterest inspiration board for a while. It's by Fishing4Beauty (http://fishing4beauty.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/thank-you.html) and it's a really cute combination of blue glitter, bright red polish and white polka dots. Here is my homage:


It's such a cute idea and I'm so glad I stumbled upon Fishing4Beauty's mani ~ thank you!

Hugs,

Delicious Skittle Manicure!

Hello!

I'm still overjoyed with my Cheeky Home Sweet Home stamping plate and decided to test out a mani using five of the patterns at once! I don't know if this was intentional, but included amongst the designs are five different fruits and veggies that correspond with the colours of the rainbow - perfect for a Skittles manicure with a delicious difference.

First of all you'll have to excuse the slight smudging - I tend to need a couple of practises to get my stamping perfect with new designs. I stamped using Konad White, and the colours I used are...

Tomatoes ~ Pomegranate by Barry M
Carrots ~ Missmatch by Missguided
Bananas ~ Orange by Cairuo
Garlic ~ Greenberry by Barry M
Aubergine ~ My Denim by Rimmel

And here's the mani!


I'm so cheered by this look! As well as looking great as a set, I'm inspired to do separate manicures showing off each design and colour combination. I actually have a banana-scented pastel yellow by Models Own, and what would be more perfect than to stamp the bananas over it?!

Hugs,
