April Challenges - A Smoosh and some Spirals

This week's #smooshynailsunday colours just screamed mint choc chip icecream to me, and a lot of others too, I think. Minty green, chocolatey brown and a cream, beige shade - yum!
I used Leighton Denny Morning Dew, Not Tonight and In the Buff  and I think they worked well together.
Then I used it as my base for Spirals for #clairestelle8april. I used a large spiral pattern on Pet'la Plate Spinning and Leighton Denny Not Tonight over the smoosh.
Then I used a smaller spiral pattern from the same plate with Leighton Denny Really Royal. This actually looked pretty good but it didn't like the camera so much.

Mint choc chip smoosh!

March Challenges - Minimal and Fave Mani Technique

The last Challenges for March were Minimal for #ggfnachallenge and Fave Mani Technique for #firedazedchallenge.
For minimal I chose one of my favourite nudes, Leighton Denny In the Buff, a lovely soft very slightly pinky nude.
My fave mani techniques are still smooshing and stamping so I did both!
I smooshed with Leighton Denny Between Blue, Femme Fatale and Zero Gravity over my nude base.
Then I stamped with Sascha Gossen YS12 and Barry M Pitstop and then, finally, Sascha Gossen YS12 with Nails Inc Moonlight Shadow.
I loved the final look - I think the soft muted overlapping shades worked well together.

Leighton Denny In the Buff

This was one of the first Leighton Denny varnishes I ever owned and I love it. Its a beautiful very slightly pinky nude, understated and sophisticated I think, perfect for when you want your nails to look great but not attract attention.
It painted on well and 2 coats gave good coverage.
I don't have any "nude" gloves so here it is with pale green, one shot inside with flash, and one out in the snow - far too cold to be "In the Buff"
