Nail Crazies Unite - Watercolour

This week's prompt was watercolour (or watercolor)
I started with a white base, 'Ard As Nails White Van Girl, and then stamped various images from Moyra Florality 2 with Saffron London Black.
I used the Saffron polish as it's quite a washed out black, not the best for stamping but perfect for doing a soft outline.
I did try colouring directly onto the nail with sharpies and then using the isopropyl alcohol but that didn't seem to work very well for me so I scribbled on my Ubermat and then added the alcohol and painted it onto my nails. That seemed to work better. I just used blue, green and purple.
I think it worked quite well and  hope you like the bluebell shots.

June Challenges - Colours you don't usually wear and Fruit!

Colours you don't usually wear for #clairestelle8june - well, having done so many challenges there really aren't a lot of colours I don't wear, including the dreaded yellow but it is still the colour I would choose not to wear so I've done yellow with a bit of white!
I used Colour Alike Lemonade and Moyra Plate Florality 2 over Virtuous Polish Chastity and then Colour Alike Kind of White and Moyra Plate Florality 2.
I don't think I liked it at any stage - sorry yellow lovers!! Anyway you can see them below - they did look a bit better in real life, the stamping was clearer.
The second challenge was Fruit for #clairestelle8june and I used Moyra Florality 1 and Barry M Blackcurrant over the yellow mani (never waste a mani!)
I coloured a few of the fruits in with a Sharpie and I really liked the final mani - despite the yellow :)

February Challenges - Smooshing, LOVE! and Flowers that I Love

Another combined post here - starting with a Valentine's Day smoosh.
The colours were pastel yellow, bright light blue and bright purple - I don't really have a pastel yellow but the picture they posted looked just like the 3 Leighton Denny colours that were part of the summer collection a few years back - Shipwrecked, Blue Lagoon and Maroon Me Knot so i went with those. They didn't end up quite as vibrant as I'd planned but I was nervous of adding a second layer of smoosh and turning it into a mess. so I went with the soft watercolour look.
As soon as I saw these colours the next thought that went through my head was flowers - a prompt for a weeks time for #clairestelle8feb was Flowers that I Love and these looked like the perfect colours for sweet peas, which are my favourites! I found an image on Moyra 10 Florality 2 that I am certain is sweet peas and stamped that with Barry M Black Grape.
Then after a day, I disguised this mani with a single coat of Kandy Colors Hey Girl and then stamped hearts with Barry M Black Currant and UberChic UC4-03 for the LOVE! prompt for #clairestelle8feb.
So, the time line is a bit mixed up for this mani but photos are in order of how the mani came together.
