Paint It Blue! - Final Days and Auction (!!!!)

Welcome to all the new followers - I hope you like what you see and stick around after the giveaway!

The last few days of the blue month (aka April) were exciting for a couple of reasons:

1) I kind of happened to discover how awesome layering toppers can be and 2) the auction!

So let's start with the pretty fingers first:

added water drops for the wet look

Paint It Blue! - Day Twelve and Thirteen

For Day 12 I wanted something refreshing )))

I chose Cinderella Slipper by Loony Lacquer - a lovely sparkly light blue with sliver and sky blue glitters

Paint It Blue! - Day Ten and Eleven

Hey I'm back! with a couple more updates...

Day 10 I wore Orly Angel Eyes:

 Two wonderful ladies, Tammy and Tara (who I am proud to call my friends)
have organised an open FB group, that you can join if you'd like to help.
There is also a silent auction for custom polishes from many indie brands!!!.

Pictures in time

I have been a bit slack lately with posting, but I do have some of the manis to show you.

This one I did using one of my magnetics - they are heavily pigmented, so work well for stamping!

The base is Essence Where is The Party?

And here is one I did when I was in the mood for blues.

OPI Dating a Royal with CG Blue Bells Ring

This summer was a hot one - 

Nikolai in a very comfy twisted position

My first ever ruffian attempt - it grew on me after a couple of days lol

OPI Designer De Better and My Very First Knockwurst

I tried some layering and stamping in one go

OPI Nein! Nein! ...Ok Fine! with CG In The City stamped using Essie No Place Like Chrome

It was too blingy, so I added a matte TC. Much better!

I also got some more indies - like this one - Mardi by Alanna Renee: 

And this was my mani for Chinese NY:

I also played around with some new plates from Brazil:

And finally, here is the design I did for Australia Day back in January:

Isn't that bottle shot pretty???

So there you have it - some of the designs from the last 7 weeks.
Thanks for stopping by!

 a relative newbie to blogging and making nail polish, has had incredible success!!!
You can find her on Instagram or check out her amazing blog.

I love Angela's line because it has something for every taste: tinted glitters, glitters in a clear base,
shimmery polishes and even a holo top coat! I chose just five to share.
