I am very much loving gradient nails...
I thought I'd try using some similar colours so its a lovely subtle gradient...
Do you like the pink and purple?
For this I used "Australis: Peek-A-Boo" with "OPI: Lucky Lucky Lavender" for the tips...
With a lovely touch of Seche Vite Top Coat.
I just keep finding myself doing different flower designs on my nails...
I quite like this design I like how the pale blue stands out against the dark red...
Base Coat: Seche Base
Base Colour: Revlon Devlish
Flowers: L.A. Colours Art Deco Sky Blue
Centre Dots: L.A. Colours Art Deco Hi-Lite
what do you think?
Pretty in pink...
I think so...
I love this top. It reminds me of a fantastical distant galaxy... and it's so, totally, my colours!
It's also a really comfy fit, and I don't feel like I have any lumpy, bumpy body bits showing...
I really do like this outfit.
I'm the type of body when most clothes makes me look (or feel) pregnant... in fact, I have been asked a few times (in a different outfit... I don't wear that any more)
So this was perfect!
loose fitting over my rather large bust and stomach,
The skirt is "Tulip" shaped, making it fitted on my waist (to really show that off) and looser over my stomach area. It then comes in at the bottom (slightly) which means it covers my thighs with out accentuation them and making them look huge!

Now for my nails...
for this manicure I first painted my nails pale pink with Revlon Peach Petal, I then drew stripes with L.A. Colours Magenta. While the polish was still wet I used a needle (well actually sewing pin) to drag lines through the polish, I did these alternating ways (this is best visible on my thumbs)
a swipe of Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat and I was good to go...
I was in a bit of an indecisive state as to what to paint on my nails...
My work mate said flowers...
meanwhile, in the staff room another work mate had brought in some Sunflowers....
they were so pretty and big...
and thus my inspiration....
For this manicure I used:
Revlon Wind Fall (it's actually much more teal-ly in real life...)
Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow
and
Revlon Totally Toffee
along with some gold studs from Born Pretty Store...
coated in a generous helping of Seche Vite Dry fast top coat
also in a random coincidence check out this Sunflower tutorial by Nailed It NZ...
Today I found the pictures I took a little while ago when I first got my striping tape.
Aren't they cute?
I admit they're not the most exciting manicure, But I quite like the simplicity of them...
I'm into simple geometric designs you see....
I got my striping tape from the BornPrettyStore.
There's HEAPS of colours!
This manicure was really simple and I think the after result looks really cool!
I used Revlon Jaded Night (Dark Green) and Revlon Wind Fall (Bright Teal).
I painted half my nail with the different polishes, then applied silver striping tape over the meet-up line.
Then finished off with my favourite of all favourites
Seche Vite fast dry top coat.
