Today's challenge Metallic, Awesome!

I had recently received in the post my new OPI "goldeneye" nail polish...

I thought perfect, I can show it off in the metallic challenge!

Boy did I change my mind... I had decided I wanted to use both gold and silver.. and since I liked my new gold more I would do a slightly uneven design and split the colours on my ring fingers and thumbs...

I painted the silver (a BYS pretty cheap one) and thought, right, now to add the gold...

I began painting with 'Goldeneye' (and don't get me wrong I like this polish) but it totally didn't match!

I was a bit concerned as I didn't have many other gold's... I had 'gold get 'em' from Revlon, but that was much too sheer for my design...

In the end I accidentally picked up my gold shatter...

I remembered a friend saying that if you don't paint shatter on top of another nail polish it doesn't shatter...

This being said I thought, hey why not try...

So removed my base coat and painted my nails, and wa-lah...

Gold and Silver Manicure. With Studs.

Watch out for my nail-art-spam...

And check out all our fellow bloggers!

yay!

I was really looking forward to this one...

well, actually if I'm being honest, I had chosen the book I wanted to do... but I had no idea how to do it..

It's my very very favourite book.

The Secret Dream World of A Shopaholic.

by Sophie Kinsella

also been turned into a movie (one that i'm not too keen on- they changed a LOT of things) "Confessions of a Shopaholic"

She likes to shop, a lot!

just like me.

hence the many shopping bags.

Well any way, in the book (and the movie) the main character, Becky, buys this green scarf, from Denny and George. When she buys it she envisions a world where people will refer to her as "the girl in the green scarf"...

thus my girl-in-the-green-scarf nails...
