Field Marigolds

This is a belated twinpost with Mishka. It's from the Cheeky (Summer Collection) CH44 plate.
The image we choose looks like marigolds to me, so I had to go for something yellow.

This is not like me at all, I don't have that many yellows, and I hardly use them. It must be the Easter-feel coming over me. Funny enough. So did Mishka. So this twinpost will be featuring the same stamping plate, and both are using yellow. How cool is that?!

For this manicure I used Miss Sporty - 453. A pastel-y yellow.
I used 3 coats, as the first 2 coats went on a bit streaky.

I have decided to go back to keeping my nails short. As I am mountain hiking and climbing 1-2 times a week, they then to get in the way of a good grip, and breaking them while on the top of a mountain, is just not the way to go. 

I was trying to find some pretty yellow flowers for this post while hiking over Craven Arms, and I came over these.

But you didn't come here to look at flowers. Let's have a look at the manicure. I used Kicks MakeUp Nail Polish - Metro Gray. Here it is! To see what Mishka did with the image, you can find here manicure by clicking here. 

May the fork, be with you.

TGIF!

This week has been oh so stressful. It's just been one of "those" weeks, where everything seems wrong and hard. Today has been a lot better, and I was very excited cause its Friday, and that means Cheeky Girl Challenge with Mishka from Lacquer or Leave Her!

Today we are stamping using Cheeky plate CH42 with the cutlery image. Fork, spoons and knifes, the chicken always cluck twice...
(erhhm) maybe not. Trying to be funny there.

Lets get over to some nail art shall we, and ignore my attempt to be funny. Cause it wasn't really.

I used two coats of Kicks - Metro Grey, and stamped using H&M - Red Nail.

Crackle over Grey Skittle

Its been a crazy weekend for me. I had to attend to a seminar few hours away from here. Its actually so far away that I had to take the plain. 1 hour by plain, so that's not so bad.

The plain left at 08am, and its about 1 hour away by train from where I live, so I ended up having to get up at 05 am. Urgh. And I didn't get in bed before 02 pm, cause I was sitting up chatting with friends. 

Tired much!

Saturday ended with a trip to the E.R. a friend of mine lost a tooth, and another one got said tooth in his head, and it wouldn't stop bleeding. Thats what you get when geeks plays Laser-Tag. 

Overly enthusiastic bunch. 

Went back home with the 8 am plain, and had to go for a RPG-session, and make dinner for the RPG-group. (It was my turn). Now its Monday, and I feel like I have been running enough for a week.

So I just recently got this polish from Kicks Make Up, and wanted to try it out. 

Using two coats of Kicks - Metro Gray, and tipped them with Bobbing For Baubles from ESSIE that I got the same day.

Sadly I failed a bit on my pinky as you can see, think I took the tape of to soon.

Kicks, Essie, and BM - Haul

Just had to gem my nails and try them out.

Lamplight and flash.

Today I got some BM rhinestones, its a handful of ass. There was a sale on Kicks Make Up Nail polishes, so I got myself, Metro Grey and Chalky Mud. From ESSIE I picked up  Lilacism, School Of Hard Rocks, and Bobbing For Baubles,

The picture in lamplight and flash is most accurate with the Kicks polishes, and the picture in Daylight with the ESSIE once.
