3 Nail Challenge - Ultra Modern



I'm not gonna lie, I found this theme super challenging until I stumbled across this ring online. 
I was drawn to the simplicity which is what reminds me of ultra modern interior decor too.





So using after a base coat I used a coat of silver from my Fearne Cotton for Boots set (which has made a lot of appearances lately ha). On top of that 2 coats of Hedy's Manishma holographic in blaster. When that was all dry I added in the blue striping tape and then made silver tips.


My hands look so dry in these pics, they aren't that bad in real life :/ Plenty of hand cream ( Soap and Glory Hand food) tonight.


The next theme is futuristic and if I can get it right this could be very cool!

50th post!

Wow! It's my 50th post. I thought it would take me a lot longer to get here. Thanks to each and every one of  you who reads these posts and for all your lovely comments.

After the decadence of my 3 Nail Challenge mani today I have something a little simpler.

Here are the tools I used.


After a base coat I used two layers of Wet n Wild's 54321 which is a gorgeous metallic teal. BUT I decided to use ELF's matte top coat to give a less shiny look. Then using a dotter and silver from Fearne Cotton for Boots  I created the flowers. A dot of top coat in the centre helps the rhinestones stick.



Needs a bit of a clean up to finish the look


Nice and simple for a Sunday evening. 
Again I want to say thanks to everyone who reads and subscribes. It's a pleasure to share my ideas with you  all

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.
