My first homemade polish!

My first attempt at making my own nail polish! I used some clear polish mixed with various eye shadow dusts I had knocking around. I am so excited about how it looks!





I couldn't resist adding a stamp and used this cute wavy line/dot pattern from Bundle Monster plate 20.

Nail polish storage

My marvellous Dad made me a marvellous shelf to keep all my nail polishes and supplies. I am SO happy with it, it is so useful to be able to see everything I have without rummaging through a box. <3

Hearts and Tips




I wanted something bright so used a different colour for each nail and then to group them together stamped on some black hearts (Bundlemonster Plate 03 ) and then added a black tip. It was my first attempt at doing tips - I used the hole reinforcer method! They didn't turn out as good as I would have liked but not so bad for a first attempt I think!

Zebra stripes






I am so happy with how well this turned out! The pink is Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in Bubblegum, I wasn't overly keen with how the polish turned out on nails but when I added the zebra stripes (Bundle Monster plate 16) I am in love! It turned out so well and I think my best effort at stamping yet.

In the pink

I've been searching for a baby pink nail varnish for a little while now and still haven't found the perfect shade. I found a Wet N Wild  Shine polish in Tickled Pink. It's almost the colour I'm after but it needed three coats to get an even finish so not very impressed with it at all.
I stamped some flowers over the top (Kondad plate m21) which I was much more enamoured with. <3 my nail plates!
