Pink Wednesday's Proposal

Orly Top 2 Bottom, 4 Coats OPI SRU, 1 coat SH Pink Proposal, Orly Top 2 Bottom, with  flash. 

Hi all, here we are back at Wednesday again! How did that happen so fast? I swear time is seeming to go so fast at the moment and think it's to do with me running out of time to find a house. I've already moved in to my parents house to try and make me feel more secure, and not jump at the first house ending up in one that I don't really like. I just can't believe there's no houses that I like at the moment.

As above, in sunlight.


So, on to Pink Wednesday. This week I've chosen to do a pink combo. It didn't start out that way, I was originally just going to paint my nails with OPI Step Right Up but it came out more of a milky white with just a tinge of pink. This polish is also very sheer and it took me four coats to get it anywhere near opaque and it was still patchy. I also felt it just wasn't pink enough for a Pink Wednesday Mani.


As top, in shade. 


So then I pulled out a very pretty shimmery Sally Hansen from my untried's box, Pink Proposal. I hadn't really bothered with her until now as she looked kind of sheer and not that exciting in the bottle. But to my lovely surprise, when the light hits her just right, she gives off the most beautiful green shimmer! This is just one coat over the OPI and it transformed it so well. My pictures really don't do it any justice, you really have to see it person.

I'm so happy I tried this combo as I've found myself a great layering polish with the Sally Hansen, although I really don't think I'm going to get much use out of the OPI. What do you think? Do you like it? Are you wearing a pink mani today?

Thanks allot for reading my post and I hope you are well. Take care all, byeeeeeeeeeee x :-)

    I have a Sally Hansen polish that makes polish look blue - they're so good for transforming colours and making them a little more interesting! x

    Yeah they were SO easy to use! The glue that came with them was a bit rubbish but if you use them with the nailene glue, they're fab!

    Ooh cool I will join up! :) You've started to get me more into nails now lol!

Lacey Bon Bon We Love Nails Mani

Orly Top 2 Bottom, 2 coats Ciate Bon Bon,,  Stamping White Konad, Orly in a Snap Top Coat , with flash.  Puja from Cute Nails has set up a new group called We Love Nails . I will be doing a nail challenge every week on a Tuesday. If you'd like to know more,  click here   to check out the post on Puja's blog, This weeks challenge was to do a french or reverse mani, so I got my stamping plates out! I decided to use one of my new freebie polishes as the base colour and I chose Ciate Bon Bon . She is a beautiful purpleish taupe and sooo pretty! I wont go too much in to detail about this polish now, as I have a review of her coming soon!  As above, no flash. For the stamping I used this absolutely gorgeous design from my Bundle Monster plate BM217 with Konad White. The design is actually flowers, but I think it gives a beautiful lacey effect, don't you? I have to admit, I found it a little difficult lining up the design on the right place on my n

My First Experience Of Stamping...

Image
I was really eager to get stamping away when my new plates arrived so I waited until my little girl Gracie was in bed and got all my nail things out. I have to say that I did think I was going to get it straight away and I got very frustrated that it wasn't coming out perfect straight away until some other people told me that you just need to practice a few times. I wasn't sure whether I should post the pics as it was a massive fail, but actually it's good for other newbie stampers such as myself to see what my experience has been like. So to start off with I had a little lap tray with all the equipment I needed and covered it with some kitchen roll as I'd heard this can get quite messy. Then I picked out a stamping plate, the one I chose was BM210. Next was to decide which polish I wanted to stamp with, well that wasn't too much of a choice as I wanted to use one of my new Konad Special Polishes and I only had them in black or white, so I chose white.
