Neon Pink Flowers & Butterflies

Still with the spring summer theme here, even though the weather hasn't been able to quite make up its mind in the last couple of weeks! I still managed to photograph these nails in the sun ...

Blue Flowers on a Pink Holo Base

Keeping with the sunny spring theme, here's a manicure today which uses a dazzling holo base with blue flowers on top. Here it is in sunlight ...

Colourful Neon Holi Manicure

Holi, the Festival of Colours, is a spring festival celebrated widely in India and parts of South Asia and the world. Everyone, the young and the old, colour each other with coloured powder and water and use water-guns and balloons for the water fights. Its a joyful festival to get together, forgive and forget and have a lot of fun! This Bollywood song is a good one to get an idea about how its celebrated!

Pink Flowers!

I was really looking forward to using a couple of the Models Own Chrome polishes I got to stamp with, and they did not disappoint. I have used one of them here for the stamping. Also, I really wanted to try out the floral image on the BP 54 plate - I haven't used such a large floral image before and it looks very unusual and eye-catching, I think.

Colourful Leadlight Stamping Manicure

I got some of these Born Pretty Stamping plates specifically for Leadlight manicures, where you colour in the stamping with other polishes for a colourful end result. This is just one such manicure.
I have used a very pretty white polish with a gold shimmer for the base and the pink and blue polishes also have fine glitter in them. I don't know if my photos do justice to this shimmery gorgeousness but I did so enjoy wearing these nails!

Chrysanthemums - Floral Stamping Nail Art

I got this Messy Mansions Leadlight Lacquer stamping plate A05 mostly for this image - it reminds me so much of the gorgeous chrysanthemums that my mum used to grow when I was a child! I love how the colours of this manicure turned out too.

Valentine's Day Manicures

The last Valentine's Day manicures for the year ... and since I'm late in posting, I have two instead of one!
First up, is a pond manicure, where stamping images are sandwiched between layers of jelly (translucent) nail polish.

Love is in the air!

I have one more Valentine's Day manicure for you today. Just a little scene set at dusk with two people in love, meeting at the end of the day for an evening together.

Roses - a double stamping manicure

I saw this dress somewhere which had a leaf print on a blue base which looked very pretty. I thought I would try that on my nails but also add some pink roses to the mix! This would make such a pretty Spring manicure.

Hearts for Valentine's Day

A pink manicure with hearts - just the thing for Valentine's day, right?! I thought I would add a bit to it though by filling in the hearts in different colours with the advanced stamping technique.

Keep Calm and Polish On!

I have been looking forward to using this image plate ever since I ordered it! And since it was from the Born Pretty store, I had to wait a few weeks for it to be delivered. But I really enjoyed wearing this manicure - it was worth the wait!

Black Stamping manicure on a pink copper duochrome

Today, I have a stamping manicure on a pink duochrome nail Polish from the Barry M Aquarium Collection. Barry M Mediterranean is a pink copper mix. I have it here as two coats over a black polish.

If you like this manicure, then head over to Life in  Lacquer to read all the details and see more photos. I am posting there today to fill in for the lovely Jade who is away on holiday!

Hot Pink Manicure with a cherry blossom accent - GOT Polish

I have been looking forward to this manicure because I like wearing a pink manicure from time to time - they are like the equivalent of comfort food in manicures for me! Nothing too out there, sweet and pretty!

I love OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips and wanted to keep the focus on the polish itself. So I kept my nails simple and just added some rhinestones to the pink painted nails. For my accent nail, I painted it with OPI Alpine Snow and stamped it with Konad Black.

"GOT Polish Challenge 2014" - Pink and Silver Criss-Cross

You know how you see this beautiful bottle of nail polish in the shop (or online) and think that you have to have it? Then you buy it and end up using it once and then just never get around to using it again.  And sometimes, that bottle of polish lands on your heap of "un-trieds" and doesn't even get used once! Well, I am very excited about doing two nail art challenges this year - the second of which shows a little love to just some of these forgotten polishes in the nail polish stash!

The Golden Oldie Thursday - GOT Polish Challenge 2014!

The basic rules of this challenge are that the nail polishes used should be at least a year old or one of the oldest that you have, preferably previously used, though you can use an old one never used before too. More than one polish can be used if it fits the themes and the rules. The prompts are:

The prompt for the day is "Pink".

For this manicure, I painted three nails with Revlon Silver Dollar. The other two nails are painted with Sally Hansen Insta Dri Presto Pink. The pink rhinestone on the ring finger is from Cheeky. I used striping tape to mark out the criss-cross pattern on the thumb and the middle finger. I painted the presto pink on top, removed the striping tape while the pink was still wet, in the "last on first off" order.
