November Challenges - Purple, Watercolour and Flowers

Another brief combined post where I completed 3 challenges.
I started with Watercolour for #wnac2015 - I didn't quite trust my freehand so I stamped a flower outline from Uber Chic UC4-01 with HJ Manicure Lavender and then coloured that in over a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. I used a number of polishes mixed with a small amount of nail varnish remover to water them down.
Then Flowers for #pcanovember15 - for this Pancreatic Cancer Awareness mani I stamped with Moyou London Pro XL10 and Hit the Bottle Purple Reign over the watercolour mani. The watercolour background did obscure the detail a little but I think it looked OK.
Finally, Purple for #clairestelle8nov. I used Uber Chic UC 3-01 and Barry M Black Currant (Black Purple) over the Flowers mani and one picture stars the last flower on my passionflower plant.

Valentines Day #VdayNailsCollab

This is a bit of a special post. I joined in a collaboration run by @dendivablog. It could be any nail art but had to include red, obviously, for Valentines Day.
I decided I would use my 2 favourite nail art techniques, stamping and saran wrap. I think saran wrap bases are great for stamping over.
I started with a base of A England Lancelot which is a black red, and then I did the saran wrap thing with Barry M White. My main intention was to lighten the black a little, so that red stamping would show up clearly but not look too gothic, not sure that worked entirely but I do love the black and white marbled base that I created, so much so that I wore it for half a day on its own (picture at the end)
I then stamped the heart shaped roses from MoYou London Pro XL 10 with A England Rose Bower.
I adore the finished look, it's so pretty and romantic .I think the shimmery red roses look great against the marbled background.
The finished collage looks great, can you spot mine? Looks like I might be the only one with a black base!
