#boyfriendpicksmypolish

Contains affiliate link. Contains product previously sent for reviewing purposes.

 The last attempt on #boyfriendpicksmypolish was somewhat successful, I decided to ask him again to pick out some polishes from my stash. Last time he picked a pink polish and a stamping plate, and this time we went with all polishes.

Since last #boyfriendpicksmypolish -entry I have organized my stash, and swatched them out on swatching sticks. I asked him to have a look at them, and select three polishes. Not being keep on looking through so many swatching sticks, he decided to solve it with a formula in Excel.
Since all my polishes are in a spreadsheet it was easy to add a randomizer, and have the formula select three polishes to use.

It picked A England - Tristam, Zoya - Savita and Miss Sporty - 452.
I don't think it is possible to choose more random than that.
A creme, a velvet matte, and a holo.

I took the polishes out of their drawers in my Helmer, and placed them on my desk, in hope that by looking at them together I would get inspired.
A week went by.
Nothing.

Then I decided to just "eff it" and give it a go.

I painted index finger with Zoya - Savita, and A England - Tristam on middle finger and little finger. On my ringfinger I used a thin striping brush and made lines using Zoya - Savita, and A England - Tristam.
I decided to use Qgirl - 022 that I had recently received from Born Pretty Store, and use Miss Sporty - 452, to stamp with on index, middle and little finger.


A England - Tristam, with Zoya - Savita, and Miss Sporty - 452 stamped over.

I actually like how this design ended up looking, if I were get a do-over I would have done something else for my accent. I don't think those stripes worked well with the rest of the design.

Splosh Splash


For the next Cheeky Girl Challenge, we got CH46. This cosmic plate got a twist on it this time.
I had a fantastic idea, I'm not so sure about the execution of it, but ... All is fair in love and nail art?

I wanted a dark background and so a gradient stamping, using a white and a yellow, letting the stamp on each nail, get more and more towards the yellow.
Sadly, the yellow didn't stamp well.

I used: Miss Sporty - 453
So if you ever wondered .. well ... here is the result.




Head over here, to see what Mishka from Lacquer or Leave Her! did with the design.

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.

Easter Nails - A skittle adventure

Happy Happy Easter.
And here are some happy nails. I started out with 3 coats of pastel yellow, this is Miss Sporty - 453.

I made this manicure using a set of stamping plates.

Index finger: BM 310
Long finger: BM 317
Ring finger: BM 208 and BM 314
Little finger: Mash 45

Stamped using Wet n Wild - Black Creme, as always. Then I took a green nail art pen and dabbed in some jagged lines on the ring finger, and added some more depth to the grass and the egg on the thumb.

Easter Nails

Let's get ready with some Easter Nails.
I decided to do some Easter nail, cause I have all these great plates with images that would be great for Easter, and if I don't use them now, when?
Right?


I started out with 3 coats of Miss Sporty - 453. I went googling around to see if anyone had used this polish before, and came back with surprisingly few results. So I decided that it was time. The world need more pastel yellows. This might not be your favorite yellow, but it's a yellow, and deserve some Easter happiness.
.. and it was the best yellow I could find in my stash.

Note to self: Get the perfect pastel Yellow.

Any takers?

I stamped using Bundlemonster, and ended up using BM 322, using MakeupMekka - Strawberry Daiquiri.

Retro 80s Mani

I started a twin-challenge with my nailpolish / WoW friend Mishka from Lacquer or Leave Her! .
We decided to call it " Cheeky Girls Challenge", and we are doing one by one plate from the Cheeky set we just got. One image from each plate, one plate per week.



So the first image we are going to to is the Cassette from CH 30. I remember being a young girl having fun, dragging the "tape" out, and taking a pen, and swirl them back in.

My cam stopped working, so I had to borrow another cam, and I had HUGE problems with the lighting. Its been raining for a few days, and its just not working..











So here is what I did. 
I drew lines on my nails, and started filling in with colors. I used mostly my new polishes for this, only "old" polish I used was the blue. Its a decent cobolt blue, but I hate the smell of it, I just cant say that enough..

YSL - Bleu Majorelle
Miss Sporty - 452
Claire`s - 152
Barry M - Berry I/C
ESSIE- Mojito Madness

Stamped with WnW Black Creme


To see what Mishka did, head over here, it looks nothing like my " Crayon-puke Cassette -mani (LoL)
