Hi Goddesses
Whilst I'm moving house, I have some stuff scheduled for you. Ironically, just before my break, I was doing some of my best nail art lol, so lets hope I still remember how when I come back!
This mani was for the Lilac and Green prompt of the 52 Week Challenge and should have gone live on 16 March.
Like a few of my nail art friends, I am a little obsessed with needle drag, but have always struggled with it. Until now. I appear to have accidentally stumbled on a magic formula - do it on bare nails. Seriously. And that way, when it goes wrong, as the ring finger did 5 times, it's easy to wipe off and start again.
Emily aka The Lacquerologist also mentioned she got better results using gel polishes, so when I picked up these 2 beauties from the Sally Hansen Gel line, that's what I tried first of all! (B Girl and Street Flair).
This is by FAR the best needle drag I have ever managed, so much so that I am going to continue to experiment when my neons arrive - mmmmm :)
Hi Goddesses
Today's 52 Week prompt is Geometric, a style I've become strangely drawn to over the months. I've mixed it today with pastels cos I'm still PASTEL ALL THE THINGS !!! Plus, I thought it made a nice contrast to see an angular pattern in soft colours.
The polishes are the bundle that I've had on my nail desk for a while, and are mainly greens, pinks and peaches. It's a collection I threw together, but man they work so well together.
I started with 2 coats of my palest colour polish - OPI You Better Pink - and then added the white lines on top. For my white I used Octopus Nail Party Lacquer Baptism.
I then used a small nail brush to colour in my pieces, one colour at a time.
I really am totally in love with this mani - I didn't want to take it off! Please don't make me! Oh, I already did - oops!
Hi Goddesses
This week's colour prompt for the challenge is PINK, and I've taken the opportunity to wear a polish that's been lingering in my untrieds pile for 2 YEARS !!!
This is Earthlings In Love by the lovely My Ten Friends. She makes awesome glitter-soups and crunchy glitters, and this is no exception.
It's a super happy medium bright pink, infused with silver, purple and red glitters. It's simple, and it works. What more could you ask for?

Hi Goddesses
Firstly, can I say how exciting is it to see so many of you take part in our new challenge. It's been really interesting to see how you have played it - whether you've combined the themes, or done them separately.
For now, I'm continuing to do them separately, and this week's Pattern prompt is 3-colour gradient.
For my colours I chose 3 Illasmasqua lovelies -
* Ruthless - red
* Poke - purple
* Obsess - pink
I did a sloppy gradient with these 3 and I loved how they smooshed together. There's something very happy about his colour combo that makes me go ooooooh.
