52 Week Pick n Mix - Pale Pink + Tweed

Gah! I'm a day late on this one. I have a vacation coming up in a week (starts Friday and I can't WAIT!). Anyway, I have so much to do in preparation for that, I have not had much time for nailart. I also had the worst time trying to figure out how to do tweed, and was looking through my stamps for a different prompt, and found this one which I thought would work. It's not my best nailart ever, but I'll take it for this prompt!


For my base, I used Crabtree & Evelyn Peony. I stamped using Konad Special White with Bundle Monster BM-706, then went back over top of it with the same stamp using Zoya Lo. It came out sort of like tweed. :P


Here is what Peony looks like on its own. It's actually a really nice and smooth cream polish. I did two coats here and topcoated with Out The Door. I got this polish from my husband's step mom (thanks Karen!).



Thank you so much for looking, as always make sure you check out what the other ladies did for this week's prompt!

Golden Oldie Thursday - Flowers

For today's prompt, I decided to use up three older untrieds at once. I started it off with a base of BB Couture Honey Bunny, which I won in a giveaway last year and still haven't managed to wear. Then painted on random flowers with Color Club London Calling and Crabtree & Evelyn Peony using a dotting tool and a small striping brush. None of these polishes are more than 2 years old, but they are getting to be the oldest I've got since I've been doing all of these challenges! :P


Here is BB Couture Honey Bunny all by itself. This polish was very thin and required three coats, but the formula wasn't bad. It is a good Spring color.


Make sure you look at what the others did for this manicure, too!
