Fall Into Autumn Challenge - Football

Hello everyone!

Today I have another post from the Fall Into Autumn Challenge, I'm slowly but surely catching up with the other ladies who are taking part. I'm also looking forward to some of the other upcoming posts I have planned for you all.

I really struggled with this theme as most of the ladies taking part are American so their interpretation is a lot different to ours. I really didn;t feel like attempting any fancy nail art to create a football teams badge or anything so I took the colours and patterns and came up with something I like...

 For these nails I used three coats of Sweet color #232 on all my nails except the accent nail, which was 3 coats of W7 Salt N Pepper. I then added two coats of Lynnderella Connect The Dots over all the green nails.

 My idea behind these nails was to take the green of the football pitch and the black and white colours of a football and combine them together. I think these ideas worked quite well together and I really enjoy the overall look they created on my nails.

Overall, this challenge was quite difficult but once I had came up with an idea I was very pleased with the end result :) I would have loved to have freehanded some footballs onto my nails but I know it would have turned out looking awful :P I can't wait for you all to see what I have in store for you in the coming days and weeks :)

Polish Days Jelly Sandwich

Hello everyone!
Another post from me today, I'm on a roll ;) After Floam day was so successful another Polish day was set up and this one was to showcase a jelly sandwich! Now we all know how much I love jelly sandwich nails, so I got in on this so quick! I've been thinking for ages about what i wanted to do, I wanted to do something different with new colours and it hit me today. Here's what I did...

 

I decided that instead of doing a pretty pink jelly sandwich like I'd usually do, I'd do a bright green one! Just to be a bit different, plus I've not done a jelly sandwich like this before.

 For these nails I used two coats of Color club Twiggie as a base on all my nails, I then used one thick coat of Lynnderella Connect the dots and topped it all off with two coats of OPI Zom-Body To Love. I bought Zom-Body to love just because it glows in the dark, it arrived and I couldn't believed how sheer it was and I hardly ever use it. However for this jelly sandwich it was perfect!

This turned out awesome! It's super bright and in your face and the glitter just adds to the awesomeness! I tried to get a picture of it glowing in the dark but my camera wasn't having any of it! :P I'll update this post tomorrow with a full list of all the other bloggers that are participating in Polish days so you can check out what they've done too! :)

Jelly Sandwich

Hello everyone :)
After browsing through posts on blogs last night I came across a jelly sandwich that I'd been dying to try for ages. The end result of this particular jelly sandwich makes me think of Oreo's and biscuits in general :P I needed to do this mani now! So here's what I did...

 

For these nails I used 3 coats of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu on all nails as a base and 2 coats of OPI Barre My Soul as a base on my ring finger. I then added a coat of Lynnderella Connect The Dots over the top following by two more coats of the base polish.

You can't really tell that I used a different colour polish on my ring finger but in real life it is quite obvious and Barre My Soul makes my ring finger look like a biscuit to me :P I'm really pleased with how this turned out, I've wanted to try it for quite a while but never found the time because something else was more important :P I will definitely try this again with different coloured jelly polishes.

Have you tried a jelly sandwich mani before? What jelly's and glitters did you use? let me know in the comments :)

Also, keep an eye out for a nail mail post soon ;) And a giveaway at 350 followers, I'm so close!! :P

Thanks for reading :)
