September Challenges - Colour of Your Eyes and Wings

Colour of your eyes was the prompt for #30daysofcolourchallenge yesterday. I have blue grey eyes that were listed in my baby book as sometimes violet so I thought A England Jane Morris would be a good choice for this! Jane Morris is a gorgeous slate grey holo with flashes of violet in with the holographic particles.
This polish applied beautifully, and although pretty opaque I did apply two coats. Pictures are taken with topcoat. You can't see the violet which is a shame but the holo picked up quite well on the camera.
The next challenge was Wings for #clairestelle8sept. It was a quiet day, I had no work and everyone was out for the day so I decided it was time for another reverse stamping adventure with the Uber Mat.
I used Moyou London Kitty 14, Essence Stampy 002 to stamp the butterfly wings and then coloured them with Colour Alike Raindrop, Fairy Forest and Lilac Sweater. I used a small brush for this, and found that so much easier than using a dotting tool. The scary part is lifting them off the mat, but I only ripped one a tiny bit and another that I hadn't laid  a good enough base for. I also made the effort to cut off all the spare around the edge before putting them on my nails so I didn't have such a messy wrap around the edge thing going on!
I had just finished when my husband came home so I pestered him to take a picture to show I actually did all 10 nails.
