When Colours Collide - Brown and Pink

I decided I'd use the layering plate by Clear Jelly Stamper - CJS-02 for this mani. I started with a base of  Leighton Denny Supermodel, and then stamped with Above the Curve Friday the 13th, Colour Alike Sweetheart, Hit the Bottle Magenta at your Own Risk and Avon Polished Pink.
The choice of polishes was restricted by which pink and browns I could actually get to work with my clear jelly stamper, I think it needs a bit more washing as it's a bit choosy with what it will pick up.
Finally I used Hehe Fairytale 002 with Barry M Surfboard to add the lacy layer and then to finish it all off I added Barry M matte top coat.
These took a long time, all that individual image stamping! I like the idea of the clear stamper but I think it will be saved for occasional use, at least until I master it a bit better!

April Challenges - Barry M Sunkissed and Mehndi / Henna Inspired

On a bit of an impluse I bough the new Barry M Coconut Infusion polishes last week and today I am showing you Sunkissed, a warm toffee nude.
I wasn't too sure about this in the bottle but it is lovely on, really wearable for those days when you shouldn't really be wearing polish. As with a lot of nudes maybe not for everyone's skin tone but I liked it on me. Coverage was great and I wore it for a day before stamping on it. As usual the pictures do struggle with colour accuracy, the sunny shot is probably the best.

Mehndi/Henna Inspired for #firedazedchallenge - I was so far behind with my challenges but I knew exactly what I was going to do -  I used Moyou London Explorer 22 and Above the Curve Friday the 13th over Sunkissed and I was really happy with the outcome - nice simple mani.

Above the Curve Friday the 13th #1

Today is Friday the 13th, and that means one thing to me - the perfect opportunity to wear Above the Curve Friday the 13th #1.
I know we had a Friday the 13th in February but it was all too close to Valentine's to squeeze a mani in so I decided to be patient and save it for today.
Above the Curve bring out a new polish for each Friday the 13th, so a new one will come out today - I haven't seen any pictures yet but it is bound to be beautiful.
However, it would have to go some to beat this beauty - this is the original one and it is an absolute stunner. It is a dark chocolate brown scattered holo and it looks just like Minstrels!
The brown is just perfect, very slightly red, beautifully dark but not so dark that you lose the colour- I absolutely adore it!
Unfortunately, although it seems to be trying very hard, the sun is not getting through the clouds so I can't get a sunshine holo picture. Very frustrating since this is the most beautiful dark brown polish!!!
Oh well, even in the softest of lights I love this, and when the sun did peep though it was breathtaking!
