Ladybird Nails

I've been wanting to do ladybird nails since I saw this tutorial by Michelle from The Lacquer Files.

You can see the full and very easy to follow instructions on the Lacquer Files, for mine I used OPI Off With Her Red! China Glaze Liquid Leather and China Glaze White on White.

Ladybird, Ladybird,

Fly Away Home,

Your House is on Fire

And your children all gone.

Liquid Leather Stars

This was my first manicure with my Viva La Diva stuff. It's a base colour of China Glaze Liquid Leather (I love this nail varnish but its name makes me cringe,) star design from Bundle Monster plate BM21 in China Glaze Millennium and Dazzlings (I think that's what they're called) from Viva La Diva.

This is a quick photo I took before I added the dazzlings and before clean up as well

The dazzling did not like my Seche Vite topcoat the colour started coming off and bleeding into the surrounding varnish. I checked the website and it says they "work best on extensions using gel or acrylic techniques" so I think I was using them wrong. I'll have to have a play about with them to find out how best to use them on natual nails because acrylics are not my thing.

I'm sure this has been done before but here's my take on this promo image

Not my picture, found on Google images.

I used China Glaze 2030 for the base colour and China Glaze Liquid Leather for the tips. I tried using hole reinforces to paint the tips on but only managed about two nails with this before I got sick of the hassle, the rest were done freehand.

How gorgeous is 2030 in the sun? I love it.
