Aussie Nails Monday - Blue

Just a quick one today. Blue nails for Aussie Nails Monday. If you are just getting into DIY nail art joining in on group challenges is a great way to do designs or use colours that you normally wouldn't use. It pushes you out of your comfort zone which is a good way to stretch yourself. Read on for the polishes and plates I used.

China Glaze - Water You Waiting For (blue glitter)

OPI - Samoan Sand (nude)

Kleancolors - Metallic Aqua

Blue Ripple - We have 10 colour packs of the ripples available from the markets. They will be up in the online shop very soon for those who aren't local.

Water You Waiting For is such a gorgeous glitter. It applies smoothly without bald patches. This is two coats with topcoat. 

I stamped using plate W111 from the Winstonia Stamping Collection. We have a few sets available if you like this design. The rest of the images in the collection are equally awesome.  Ill hopefully get them all photographed soon so you can see the entire collection. The originality and quality of the plates deserves a big thumbs up.

Aussie Christmas Challange

Just in time....with everything else going on right now in my life I was stumped for ideas for new nails as my brain is melting from the heat and just thinking about too many things that need to get done in the next couple of weeks (running the shop, manicures at the markets, packing my classroom and moving it all to a new school, picking bathroom things for our upcoming reno, getting ready for Christmas etc etc). Thanks to this great challenge by Elissa Sinclair from lissaspolishaddiction.blogspot.com.au no thinking is required...just doing! I'm already 2 posts behind (great way to start!), but I'm sure Ill catch up with challenges only due every couple of days. Anyone keen on joining in? And now I've got six white boomers in my head....aarrrgh!
