Jacava Autumn Winter 2015 Woodlanders Collection - Kings Road

I have another beautiful Jacava polish to share with you today. This is Kings Road, a gorgeous pale green creme. In the bottle it is certainly a soft sage green. On the nail it is a bit of a mystery. Ignoring my skin-tone in the pictures, I do think the photos reflect how much this polish changes in the light, from almost a blue grey through to pale sage green.
As I applied this polish I was thinking about OPI Thanks a Windmillion, one of my favourite OPI's but this is a lot greyer than that.
As usual this Jacava polish applied beautifully, and despite my inability to accurately describe its colour, it is gorgeous and I love it - yet another "me" polish. I am truly loving this Woodlanders collection.
I own quite a lot of Jacavas and I have never been disappointed with the quality. I love all the ones I own but this Autumn Winter Collection has certainly brought out colours that really are perfect in my eyes.
The nail art bit is here if you want to see what I did with this.

October Challenges - Quilted

The prompt for #30daysofcolourchallenge was Quilted. I was wondering what to do for this whilst making the bed one day last week and realised that I have a stamping plate with same image as the stitching on my pretty floral throwover, so that's how this design came about.
I had to try out my lovely new Sascha Gossen plates from Nail Artisan so I started with a leafy base using Esmaltes da Kelly Frogger and Yours Cosmetics Sascha Gossen YS06 over Jacava Kings Road.
Then, on a whim really, I decided to try stamping with OPI Skyfall as I had dug it out to use later. I was pleasantly surprised how well it stamped and I used it with YS06 to add flowers over the leafy base.
Then I added the quilty bit with Barry M Cotton and Born Pretty BP-L 003.
Finally I added a coat of OPI Matte top coat.
