The most british of brands

I have stuck out the NailIt challenge to day 7 so far and here is my take on 'pattern/fabric'. And if you hadn't recognised it is the famous burberry print. 
I didn't actually expect this to be a success, I had seen the design before and wondered what my take on it would look like. I enjoyed the challenge of freehand lines. 
The polishes used were; Essie - Millionnails, Loreal - Mystery, Loreal - Raven's dream, Model's own - French white, Essie - Fifth avenue and Kiko top coat.
I really like Loreal - Mystery, it is more of a grey than a black but with two coats it looks much darker. It is so much easier to take off than normal black colours and it hardly stains. It also has a shimmer in it that more it a lot less harsh than solid black polishes. 
I have a lot of 'what I would do different next time' thoughts on this design but I like the first attempt. 
Straight lines are so easy to mess up and some nail girls are just too amazing at it - practice make perfect I hope. 
Looking forward to seeing what the next 25 designs bring - how excitingly daunting!

Pink pyramids

I had seen a design similar to this and have been wanting to try it out forever. However, I now can't find the blogger that I recreated - if anyone recognises the design let me now who's it is! 
Using: OPI - natural base, Sally Hansen - White on, Jessica - pink explosion and Kiko - top coat. 
I love this design but hate my clean up on this! 
I did not get great pictures of it, such a bummer when that happens. The camera doesn't capture how neon these really are. 
I am in love with neons at the moment so was loving the bold nails. 
Definitely going to do another neon design this week.
Getting those last summer nails in! 
Happy weekend blogging world.
