Violet Flowers

I used China Glaze "Tarty For the Party" for the base colour.  This is a really pretty mid lilac purple with a great formula.  Opaque in two easy coats and highly recommended.

Over this I added a layer of OPI Pure White Gold and Silver Top coat, then stamped the flowers using Mundo De Unos Stamping Polsh in Violet.  Finally I used a dotting tool to add some gold centres to the flowers with Zoya's "Ziv".

The stamping plate is "FUN 13" by Fab Ur Nails.

Pretty Flamingos

Using the base of Maybelline's "Mint For Life" (as shown on previous post), I stamped the flamingo design in Stargazer "Metallic Pink".  The stamping plate is MoYou London's "Tropical - 05"

Maybelline - Mint for Life

Gorgeous mint green colour.  Ok formula, beautiful and opaque in two coats. Shown here with HK Girl Top coat.

Glitter Flowers

The base colour here is a matte polish by Mentality called "Contessa".  This was then stamped with Essie's "Penny Talk" using Dashica Big SDP-X.  I then used a dotting tool to colour the flowers and add some sparkle using Zoya's "Tinsley".

Poppies and Strawberries

Today I decided to wear a red polish since I rarely reach for this colour unless it's Christmas time.  I chose Sally Hanson "So Poppy" which is a lovely orange toned red.  The formula seemed somewhat thin, so it was a suprise that this was opaque on two coats.  Despite the thin formula it was very easy to work with and applied smoothly with minimum clean up.  I added an accent nail using Oopsie Daisies "Strawberry Tall Cake".  This is a gorgeous crelly polish packed with matt glitters in reds, yellows and a few deep magenta/ purple ones too.  I used two thin coats over a base of Zoya's "Purity".

Candy Flakes Lollipop

This is a super bright pink polish by Dance Legend from their Candy Flakes Collection, called "Lollipop".  I tried this polish sometime last year on it's own, and though I did manage to get it opaque, it was 3-4 very messy coats, and I wasn't too impressed with the finished effect or amount of clean up!

This time, I used it as a topper over Barry M's "Dragonfruit" and it was much easier to work with.  I added a matte topcoat and liked it a whole lot better too.  The flakies are in shades of gold, orange and almost red depending on the light.

After wearing this for a day, I decided to stamp over it using Dashica Big SDP - X.  I think I prefer it without the stamping, but you never know until you try something out :-)

Boho Blues

This is Boho Blues by China Glaze.  Two coats, good formula and a gorgeous cornflower blue colour.  Unfortunately I have two dupes for this one, namely Rimmel 60 seconds "Mind The Gap, Victoria" and Barry M "Blueberry".

I stamped over Boho Blues with Konad White using an image from stamping plate "Lily Anna 13".
