OPI Catch Me in Your Net

Catch Me in Your Net is a sheer colour and I'm not a fan of Visible Nail Line so I started with a base colour of Diamond Cosmetics Metallic Blue because I think it coordinates with Catch Me and it has great coverage, this is just one coat:

I then used three coats of Catch Me in Your Net because I didn't want the base colour showing through too much and affecting the final colour. A water decal from Viva La Nails finished off this manicure. I love these water decal butterflies, I'm definitely going to get some more when I use them all up.

Topsy liked this colour too.

Cobalt Blue Butterflies

I got Barry M Cobalt blue a few weeks ago but I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Actually I might be lying there I think it's one of the many colours in this mani here. So I decided today was going to be the day I used it properly.

It was glossy and lovely, full coverage in almost one coat. To add some interest I added once of the water decal butterflies from my Viva La Diva pack.

This was my first go at using water decals and I love them! So easy to use, just dunk your design in water and stick it on with plenty of time to reposition if you're not happy with it. One it's on you can't see the edges at all which is one of my pet peeves of nail stickers.

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.
