    My obsession with glequins is still going strong! But as you know by now, I have to return to stamping every now and then because that’s where this whole nail art/blog thing started. So I just picked a stamp – one of my all time favourites from the 2011 BM set – and figured out after where I could put the glequins on!

    Try My Two Tone

    This mani, like yesterday’s, came about when I just got too carried away trying to add a dash of whatever came to mind!
    I knew I wanted to use scotch tape and a stamp design so I did the base colour and stamp and left it overnight to dry and to give me time to decide what to do. ‘Blue’ I thought, but when the blue was on it just looked too clunky so I thought I’d set myself the challenge of trying to line up the stamps to get a two-tone effect on my nails. Turns out I needn’t have bothered because the pattern is irregular so you wouldn’t even notice if it wasn’t matched. I think I’ll set myself the mission of trying it with a more uniform pattern to see if I can get it to match up.

    To create the two tone look, I sectioned off the top part of my nail with scotch tape and painted on Barry M Cyan Blue. I removed this tape straight away and let the blue dry. Then I lined up more strips of tape with the blue polish and stamped over it with GOSH Metallic blue, attempting to line up the patterns and added another top coat.

    How do you guys feel about me using larger pictures in my blog posts? All the pictures I post are click through’s anyway so you can see a bigger version if the mood takes you, but I thought I would go bigger on the main page. Do you like it or do they just take up too much space?

    Scotch Tape Take Two

    Try and say that ten times fast?!
    I just want to say thank you for all the lovely birthday messages. I truly loved them, thank you so much. It’s so good to hear that plenty of you are still acting young for your years and getting away with it!
    I’ve gone for a patchwork look this time with the scotch tape. The base is BYS Metallic Fuschia, then I painted on the purple sections with Barbara Daly Velour and the last layer is Rimmel Lycra Wear Black Satin. I used a thick top coat of NYC in an attempt to flatten out the lines.

    Then I added some little sequins which I think is a nice touch but I preferred it without.

    A Tragic Loss

    I got into a little skirmish with a shower curtain and the shower curtain won. And it took the tip of my thumbnail with it!
    This is a new polish that I found reduced in Tesco from the Barbara Daly Make-Up range. I haven’t captured it very well in the photo, but it’s a gorgeous, deep royal purple.
