Ahoy There!

This last week has been really busy, fun but busy.

I spent a few days at the Tall Ship Races (http://www.sailtraininginternational.org/) which mainly involved wandering round looking at huge boats, buying souvenirs and going on lots of fairground rides.

Now I couldn't go to a boat event without themed nails could I?


Left hand:

Base Colour - China Glaze White on White

Stripes - Nails Inc Tudor Walk

Right hand:

Thumb & ring finger - H&M Red Nail
Anchor - Konad Princess Polish White -Bundle Monster plate BM08


Not my neatest of manicures since it was done almost immediately before I had to leave the house for a friend's birthday party. Wine + Rushing + Nail varnish = Dents and smudges, whoops!

England vs USA

This wasn't supposed to be a football manicure at all, it was going to be polka dots. I painted my nails red this morning, I was going to Konad them when I got back from shopping but I guess I got caught world cup fever in the meantime ;)

The idea isn't my own; I stole part of it from My Nail Polish Addiction
And the England cup is from Tesco

The flag was done with a base colour of H&M Red Nail. The cross was done by blocking out the cross with sellotape and doing the rest with Barry M Matt White. I must say I'm surprised this worked. If I was going to do this mani in the first place I would have done white first, then red but actually the Matt White covered the red in just two coats, I'm impressed!

Bella’s Choice NOTD

This is the manicure I'm wearing right now. I love H&M nail varnishes and wanted this one from the moment I saw it but convince myself I didn't need it because it was very similar to my Barry M Turquoise. Well I lasted about a week before I ran back to the shop and bought it. It's actually a lot greener than the Barry M one and it's perfect for summer.

The gold is China Glaze Khrome 2030 and I used masking tape to make the triangle shapes.

I wasn't as neat as I wanted it to be but I think it still looks good. I think it would look awesome with a tan but as I never tan I guess I'll never know for sure.
It looks better in real life, the little smudges and 'not quite straight' lines aren't as noticeable.

Tartan NOTD

I've been away this weekend. My family went to Edinburgh to see the 3 Rifles Homecoming Parade. I've had a brilliant weekend with lots of yummy food and shopping.

So in honour of my scottish visit I decided to go tartan.

Do you like my matching bracelet? Actually it's my Mam's that I nicked (please don't tell.)

This look was created with two coats of H&M Red Nail and Konad Plate M60 in Konad SP Black. Simple but quite effective I think.
