Hi Goddesses
I am sorry to be late posting this, but last night, the flu finally caught up with me and I was in bed by 8pm. I honestly didn't think I'd be getting up at all today, but as long as I'm not standing, I seem to be ok lol.
This week's PCFC was chosen by the lovely Joy - do a mani based on your favourite piece of jewellery. Most of my jewellery is silver, and I had 2 manis in mind. The first was to do dotted layers of silver to mimic the layers of the silver beaded bracelets I like to wear, and the other was to do a mani based on my very favourite piece of jewellery - a necklace. I thought the bracelets would turn out better, but whaddya know, its actually the necklace, my true favourite, that turned out ok!
I bought this off ebay (of course) - it's a Links of London silver necklace, about a metre in length, that can be worn anyway you want it. It has a horseshoe link that fastens onto any of the hoops in the design, so you can wear the necklace in one loop, 2 or a mixed pattern. I absolutely ADORE this necklace. It really defines me. I love the bubble pattern and the dangliness of it; I love that I bought a £600 necklace for less than £100; and I love that it is something I am not - delicate lol. However, that has lead to 3 breakages where it had to be soldered back together - Crumpet has now learnt not to wear it in bed or get it tangled in buttons lol.
For my base I used OPI Ogre The Top Blue, and my trusty silver was, as always, CG Cheers To You. I used a fairly thin dotting tool, because as we know, I am useless with brushes.
I actually think I have captured the design quite well, if maybe a little indelicately. And it's a sign of how obsessed I am becoming that I look at my nails and go "ooooh, that would be a cool stamping pattern" lol.
I'm going to see if I can make the bracelets look better in the morning, but it's highly doubtful lol. In the meantime, enjoy xxxx :)
