Quel Che Resta

This wasn't actually going to be blogged but I really do love it so thought I might aswell share.

The colour I used for this is a really old one so the name had actually worn off the bottle - after doing some internet searching I think it is called Fire Engine by Collection 2000. 

This was inspired by @sloteazzy her version is amazing! She made it look like it was the most simple design to do and trust me it really isn't.

I very nearly gave up on this, it is the product of my cleaned up mess. However, I am glad I stuck at it! 

As for the name of the blog - I couldn't think of one and was listening to Ludovico Einaudi - Quel Che Resta (give his music a listen) whilst writing this. I wondered what the translation was and it is 'The remains', I thought this fitted the mani quite nicely.

St. Paddy's

Happy St. Patrick's day! Even though I am scottish I was once a competitive Irish dancer and loved the celebration with all the dance shows. So I decided to do a design that wasn't over-board and just in the theme of green. I went with a fishtail design, I think they are always effective. The flash on my camera makes the silver look odd but I promise the colour combo looks good in person. 

For this I used: OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Sally Hansen - In a Splash and the silver is L.A Colours with no name, it was very cheap! But still a pretty good polish. Then I used small gold studs from ebay. 

Excuse the pen smudges on my pinky - I'm a lefty and often don't notice because it's always there!

Pastel and studs

Jessica has the nicest nail colours! This gorgeous one is 'Jemma Kidd'. However, the problem with this colour is that it takes a life time to dry with two coats. One coat isn't enough. If you have the patience the turn out is great - especially on toe nails! I got these studs from ebay (hundeds of them) for a pound or so. And I got a small pot of nail glue from boots which isn't too strong so works good and comes off nail polish remover.

Jessica polishes are a treat though - not cheap in my opinion.
