For the past few days I've been layering cuticle oil and slathering as much of my entrusted OPI Nail Envy as possible to get my nails to the state they were before all the travelling, illness and just general neglect happened! I am so sick of it, it's time for some nail art! And what better way to get the creative juices flowing again than through a nail art challenge? I am a day late for the ABC Challenge hosted by Nail Polish Society but I have a good excuse. I went shopping. All day long. I know, I know but I had to celebrate now that I am officially flu-free, right?! I treated myself to a trip to IKEA and I bought ALL SORTS (as you do). Anyway, the idea behind the challenge is to create a design corresponding with a letter of the alphabet. The first challenge starts with the letter 'A' (duh) and I decided to go for 'Advanced Stamping'.
First though, can we just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of my base colour, Cerrillos by Cirque. It's an absolutely stunning turquoise holo. Here I'm wearing 2 coats for perfect coverage.
Now, let's talk nail art! I created a floral mani with the Danglefoot Polish jelly collection* (for individual swatches click here) and MoYou London Pro XL 11 plate. I love how delicate this design look!
What do you think about it? Don't forget to check out everyone else's designs! Xx
Love the Cirque colour, it's gorgeous on you. Also your stamping is stunning, I love those bright florals.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better, yay for shopping.

Thank you Vicky, my boyfriend got it for me for my birthday, I think he chose well! So glad to be rid of that bug and shopping just cures everything anyway! ;) xx
DeleteThis is so gorgeous! And who doesn't love ikea! Your nails are a great shape for having gone through all that. After my move and travel and whatnot earlier this year/late last year, my nails were the nubbiest of nubs, it was sad. But they're healthy again now! Cuticle oil is the best. Oh and I'm usually always late for challenge prompts too
ReplyDeleteThank you Silvie! For me, cuticle oil and Nail Envy is the best remedy! I went home recently and forgot to take BOTH :/ I went bowling on the last day and broke ALL of my nails on one hand ;(;( The only good thing was that it's not my swatch hand but I'm still waiting for them all to be the same length!

DeleteWow!! Not only do I appreciate your gorgeous base color but the stamping is fabulous! I always drool over your photos. Don't forget to add your URL where it says "Add your link" so everyone else can see your thumbnail :).
ReplyDeleteAwh thank you Emiline. I am so obsessed with your designs! This is such a great challenge, I'll try my best to keep up! Xx
Deletelove your florals. Pleased you're feeling better. Why not treat yourself to something. SAY A MAGNUM . Now the warm weather is here. Always makes you feel good.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and I honestly don't know what you mean about a magnum. I mean, I don't have them more often than any normal person! :D
DeleteAbsolutely Stunning. love the base color. I just start stamping so I have no idea what advanced stamping is :)
