Silver Stamping over Gosh Holographic Hero

I had this special polish since before I started the 31 Day Challenge - and I hadn't wanted only to wear it for a day so I saved it. And things happened, I didn't wear polish for days and so of course I forgot about it! So glad I remembered about it now though! It's a pretty!

Sorry I can't upload more pictures- my picsa doesn't seem to be working. More pictures should arrive soon! Pin It

Glitzy Green!

Well, I am back! Here with an experiment turned good! I wore the green base to an interview I had this week, and I got the job! A lab assistant too - I'm being paid to do science! As I was about to take it off, I remembered the little pot of sparkles I found for 59p. I wish I'd done this earlier - I will defiantly be doing it again with the right outfit. Its so pretty!

Recreate a Manicure you Love: Day 31 of the 31 Day Challenge

Here we are. I have created a round up page which will have all my entries in it - including ones that on the day never made it. But - within 31 days there has been 31 manicures and blog posts are to follow! There is talk of another 31 Day Challenge being created and ran in January 2013 - and I'm not to scared off that I wouldn't try it again. Stay tuned! 

This was a manicure that I attempted to recreate from Sincerely Stephanie. I am really not very good with freehand still and so I did change it a little but I really couldn't resist this one! I am a biomedical science and today as my first practical of the year we are doing a PCR - amplifying DNA! Speaking of which I need to go prepare!

 Sally Hansen Insta Dry Whirlwind White

All details done with acrylics

 I love how bright it shows up!

I have loved doing this challenge - though next time I will definitely be preparing ideas at least. I look forward to it! See you then!
