Saturday Night

I am in love with this manicure.  It's that beautiful.  See for yourself!

I used Color Club "Where's the Soiree?" with a gradient in OPI "Jade is the New Black" and Zoya"Charla" before stamping in Barry M "Gold" with Bundle Monster plate 314.

Dotter Who

"Knock, Knock"

"Who's There?"

"Dotter"

"Dotter Who?"

....Boom Boom...

Today's manicure is inspired by the blogger Chalkboard Nails who posted a pic on instagram of some of her amazing manicures and there was a nude dotticure similar to the above.  I have an office BBQ tomorrow night and decided to wear one of the dresses I took to Mauritius and never wore and the fabric just called for this pattern to adorn my nails.

The base is my first time using Cult Nails "Time Traveller" hence that old Doctor Who joke above ;)  Atop "The Doctor" sits a galaxy of dots made with Nubar "Faded Putty", Essie "Navigate Her", OPI "Jade is the New Black", Color Club "Lavendarling" and China Glaze "Purple Panic".

Here is my manicure with the fabric of my lovely dress!

Peacock Parade Preview

Today I have a preview of the peacock parade that will be my cousin's hen weekend, next weekend! We are taking the piss on Friday night with an evening in with a dressing up box full of tacky Gypsy Wedding style outfits and on Saturday night we are going to a cocktail masterclass, dinner and dancing with a peacock theme.

I needed to replace yesterday's manicure due to my disappointment so I have painted my nails a week early in my own peacock styling!  On the hen weekend, I will be painting anyone who wishes nails in peacock colours only.  This gives a pretty good scope with golds, browns, blues, greens, purple and turquoises!

For my peacock manicure, I did my first ever gradient using eyeshadow applicators with OPI "Jade is the New Black", OPI "Cuckoo for this Colour", OPI "Yoga-ta Get this Blue", Zoya "Charla", A England "Elaine" and Ozotic "513" topped off with that old favourite of many a peacock manicure out there: BM plate 212 in Barry M "Gold".

It's been four months since I sent out the invite I made and I can't wait for next weekend!

Update: I added extra dots in the aptly named Orly "Sweet Peacock"!

Update 14th May: manicure still looking good after a whole week but even though I'm loathe to take it off as it's the best manicure I've ever done, I think the time has come :(

On another note, we had an amazing hen weekend.  I only managed to give about five manicures and took no photos so this peacock preview post is all there will be!

xoxo

Update: I actually did take one photo of a hen weekend guest but I completely forgot! Without further ado, this is Kim's manicure:
