40 Great Nail Art Ideas - 3 Shades of Green and stripes - and a St Patrick's Day Mani

Well I love green and I love stripes so I was really happy with this prompt for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas and obviously it lends itself well to a St Patrick's Day mani too.
I started with a gradient of 2 of my favourite OPIs - Thanks a Windmillion and Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow.
Then I added stripes using Lealac LLC-A (my favourite stripe image!) and Esmaltes da Kelly Bruce.
I am so pleased with them!!!!

Then, with a couple of St Patrick's Day prompts, I went on a bit of a stamping spree -
Avon Metallic Effects Gold Leaf and DRK A
2 True Pro Metallica Aglaia and Messy Mansion Symetrika 03
A England Saint George and Vivid Lacquer VL036

March Challenges - St Patrick's Day and the Luck of the Irish

A combination post:

St Patrick's inspired for #firedazedchallenge - I went Celtic again although I gather St Patrick banished Celts from Ireland - Messy Mansion Symetrika 03 and A England Saint George over Smitten Claddagh.

The Luck of the Irish for #wnac2016 - I used 4 leaf clovers from Pueen SE03A, stamped with a rainbow selection of Esmaltes da Kelly polishes (Wendy, Tuco, Bee, Chuoisco and Bruce) over the Messy Mansion stamping.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Love

This weeks prompt was Love so it's all pink, red, hearts and lacey stuff I'm afraid.
I used Messy Mansion Symetrika 03 and A England Rose Bower to stamp over a pink lacey mani I did earlier.
I was really pleased with how this turned out. I love Rose Bower for stamping and the new Messy Mansion plates are wonderful.
I didn't do an actual macro shot but I have blown up a pic so you can see how pretty this is!

January Challenges - New Year

New Year for #wnac2016 - we went to my sister's for New Year, passing Stonehenge and Glastonbury on the way - so these are my druidy/celtic nails! Messy Mansion Symetrika 03 and Colour Alike Kind of Black over Glam Polish Patty O'Green.
Glam Polish Patty O'Green was a store exclusive from Rainbow Connection and it is a gorgeous mix of green glitters. It also contains a lot of other colours and in some lights you can see a lot of blue - just stunning. It applied well but I did use 3 coats to ensure completely full coverage and it seems to take a long time to dry enough that you don't dent it.
I stamped using one of the new Messy Mansion Symetrika plates that I bought from Nail Artisan. These are wonderful plates and I chose a celtic style of image to go over my green glitter. I love the contrast of the crisp black stamping over the glitter and I am so pleased to have more plates with celtic style images.
