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.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Food

Food for #40greatnailartideas - this was a bit of a challenge as there was very little to choose from on my stamping plates but how about some afternoon tea?
I started with  a base of pink vintagey dots using Barry M Acai Smoothie and Pet'la Basics over Barry M Pitstop.

Then I stamped Moyra 05 Vintage and Saffron London Black which stamps as a grey / washed out black which is what I was after, more subtle than full on crisp black.

The image was large and wouldn't even quite fit on my thumb so I just tried to use parts of it. I think they turned out OK and quite possibly better than I expected.
