Floam Day

Hello everyone :)
Last week I signed up to Polish days which is run by Hannah over at Polly Polish. Our first post was named Floam day and your mani had to use Floam somehow. So I started thinking about a different way to use Floam that I hadn't seen yet. This is what I came up with...

I did my first splatter mani! :) I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I used 4 coats of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu from the New York City Ballet collection as the base, I then splattered using a straw and OPI Fly & Did It On 'Em from the Nicki Minaj collection. I used these two colours as they are similar to the two colours of glitter used in Floam. I then used the same method to splatter Floam on top of the previous colours.

I really love how this turned out. it's so bright and fun to look at! I'm glad that I decided to use colours that coordinated with Floam nicely :) I will definitely be doing a few splatter mani's in the future with different colour combinations :P

Week 12 Skittle Mani

Hello everyone :)
Here;s my 52 week challenge post! This week we had to do a skittle mani. I've never done one before but I've seen so many great takes on this mani on many blogs. I chose to use basic colours as they looked the best, and also very bright colours to stand out more :) Here's a bottle shot of the polishes I used..

From left to right: H&M Berry Love, Models Own Pink Blush, OPI In My Back Pocket, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky and OPI Did It On 'Em

I used many of my untried polishes in this mani, I've discovered some new favourite colours for summer ;P Anyway onto the nails...

I even managed to get my thumb into this photo! :)

I used two coats of all polishes although I could have gotten away with one coat of Berry Love on my thumb, it's super opaque. 

Overall, I really loved this weeks challenge. I think I'll be wearing this mani in different shades and colours throughout the summer. It's just such a fun and cute way to wear colour on your nails.

Have you done a skittle mani? What colours did you use? Let me know in the comments.

Thanks for reading :)
