How is everyone?! I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year, I certainly did (Christmas polish presents post to follow!). I've been having a bit of a break from the internet over the festive season. My work gets utterly ridiculous at that time of year and all my time off was needed for just flopping and sleeping! I have been keeping up with what everyone's up to, just not really been posting anything myself. I also hadn't put anything new up in my shop for quite a while, and today I finally got my backside in gear and set up a few new listings! Yey!
I have still been painting my nails regularly, and I thought today I'd share a couple of manis I've done recently.
I know it's very simple, but for some reason this mani is my favourite one I've ever done! I used OPI bubblebath for the base, it's the most gorgeous pale, delicate pink, and then I added tips in a Jessica gold polish with no name, both of these were Christmas presents. I used striping tape to get the lines really straight and finished it off with some Seche Vite. I love this, it's so elegant and pretty, and natural enough to wear for work! I repeated this with an accent nail of OPI my favourite ornament, but I forgot to take photos!
This is another gorgeous mani which has an OPI base, this time it's Lincoln park after dark, which is actually a really dark plum, but nothing I did would make it look anything other than black in photos! The glitter is OPI my favourite ornament. I was really pleased with this one as I've not tried a glitter gradient for ages and the last one was a bit of a disaster! All the lovely OPI polishes were a Christmas present from my fantastic sister, in a gorgeous little case with 6 different bottles :D lucky me!
I'll hopefully be back soon with more polishy tales, until next time!!
