A Wedding of 1930s Proportions....

I painted this manicure in a rush before we headed out to drive to the Dorset wedding (a 9 hr drive!).  My manicure would be covered with gloves as befits the 1930s theme of the wedding for half the time but they had to be manicured to suit my outfit of course!

I used my new favourite navy: Cult Nails "Time Traveller" for this one and some Konad.

Following my nails are some photos of the wedding but none of the bride and her family as she values her privacy.  She served high tea after the ceremony and gave everyone a tea set as a gift.  I was up until 4am the night before making cupcakes for the event as my contribution.

Spring Skittle

I'm springing into Easter with this skittle but I think it will be gracing my hands for one day only!  I'm not too keen on two of the fingers so I think I shall swap three of them tomorrow.....

In this manicure, I used the following:

Thumb: China Glaze "Laced Up" with Zoya "Purity"

Index: Zoya "Kirsten" with Konad butterfly in Konad white

Middle: Color Club "Lavendarling" with Orly "Blue Collar", Laced Up, CG "Grape Pop" and "Happy Go Lucky"

Ring: Essie "Navigate Her" with a L'oreal frosted pink, Zoya "Ciara" and Essie "Going Incognito"

Pinky: Nubar "Mod Agua" with Orly striper.

Tradition Dictates

Drawing near is "Easter" time,

Not something close to this heart of mine,

But Spring is something I can embrace,

The weather turns, sunshine does us grace,

The flowers spring from out the soil,

Chocolate eggs do our diets spoil,

Decorating real eggs, traditions dictate,

So this is one that I did create.

I always planned to konad on an egg this Easter but we decided to have an egg decorating competition at work so this is my entry (no promotion in my part as a member of the social committee!):

Hi Tekked Elaine

Stamping detail can't be beat,

I've always thought it looks so neat,

Although freehand is what I prefer,

I'm glad I've conquered this art of transfer!

For today's nails, I chose the classic purple and gold combo with A England "Elaine" and China Glaze "Hi Tek" using the Konad plate M71 and some freehand diagonal french (I couldn't live with just plain old konad!):
