First day of 3 Nail Challenge

Today being the 1st of September (ALREADY?!?) marks the first challenge of the 3 Nail Challenge with the theme of antique.

When I read the themes I had a little idea of what I would want to do for today 

This brooch is usually found on the collar of my blazer. As much as I'd like to call it antique it isn't really.

My treasure chest

I'm giving my nails a breather at the moment. I've noticed that they're chipping so after a good clean and a buff and shine I'm just wearing a clear coat. Today's post is photo heavy but it means I get to show off my treasure.

This is the treasure chest. It's a £3.99 clear lided arts and crafts box from Home Bargains.



The Junk - Nail Stickers, Glitter, Pearls, Cuticle Pushers, Paint Brushes, Toe Dividers, Glue, Sequins, Nail Files and Tooth picks. The Green Sequins, Pearls and Glitter were freebies when I got my Nail Art Pens. All the stickers came from ebay.

Top Row L-R ELF Black, Chocolate, Nude, Blush, Champagne, Red Velvet, Fluro Pink, Bubblegum Pink, Teal (I assume Discontinued? It's no longer online) Mint Cream, White 
Bottom Row L-R ELF Metal Madness, Glitter Glam, Twinkle, Golden Goddess, Matte Finisher. Barry M White and Black Crackle, Technic Carnival, Collection 2000 Top Coat

Nail Art Pens - I got these as a job lot from ebay for about £10

Top L-R Neon set from Primark, Beauty UK Gold and Silver Crackle, Fearne Cotton For Boots Silver, Pink
Botom L-R Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Purple Rain, Rimmel Green With Envy, Azure, Stargazer Neon Glitter Orange, Collection 2000 Hot Looks, Red, Pink, Parma Violet, NYC in a New York Minute Water Street Blue, NYC Yellow, Orange



Bargains - Nail Wraps in Gold, Leopard Print and remaining Silver ( I used the silver....I am still not sure about them) They're from Home Bargains and cost something like 69p. My Jewel wheel was about £2 from ebay. Below that is a Fimo wheel of love hearts and stars which I got in town for £1.99, the confetti next to it was £1!!
Dotters are from ebay, the nail files in the pink pouch were a christmas gift. The False nails I bought a while back after having my gles taken off and suffering withdrawal symptoms. These are the last ones I have and it's unlikely I'll use them now I have the tools to do my own patterns.

So that's it. My babies. The only trouble is that it isn't really portable, but hey I don't go too far without some form of polish. What's an outfit without pretty nails!
