NOTD: Simple Floral

Felt like doing something quick and simple today as I haven't really felt very creative and had no idea  what to do. In the end I came up with these and I actually really like them :)

As always I started with a base coat. Then on my thumb, index and little finger I applied 2 coats of Barry M Ballerina. On my middle and ring finger I painted 3 coats of Ciate Cream Soda.

To create the simple flower design I used a dotting tool. Firstly I made bunches of five dots together using Barry M Ballerina. Then I used China Glaze Platinum Pearl to dot in the centre. When I first started this mani I was going to place pearl studs in the centre, but I ended up doing the flowers smaller so it made more sense to just use a polish.

To finish I applied a top coat of Seche Vite!

NOTD: Indian Summer

Today is officially the first day of Autumn, and typically all September people have said we are going to get a week of hot weather, an Indian Summer. But of course that didn't happen and I doubt it will happen, so here is my Indian Summer mani :)

As always I painted a base coat over all my nails. Then on my thumb, middle and ring finger I painted 2 coats of Ciate Play Date. And on my index and little finger 3 coats of F.U.N Lacquer King.

I then created a subtle red gradient. For this I again used Ciate Play Date along with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Rapid Red and Nails Inc Tate. I applied Rainbow Connection's Zap Skin Protector on the skin around my nails.

On top of the gradient I stamped this pattern from Born Pretty Store plate BP-L008 using Barry M Gold Foil.

To finish I painted a top coat of Seche Vite on all nails.

NOTD: Olive Branch

Sticking with Autumnal colours for this mani, really love this China Glaze glitter!!

To start as always I applied a base coat. Then on my thumb and ring finger I painted 2 coats of China Glaze It's Alive, and on my index, middle and little finger 2 coats of Barry M Olive.

On the nails painted with Olive I then stamped this leaf/branch pattern from Born Pretty Store plate BP-05 using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Bronze Ablaze.

I completed this mani by applying a top coat of Seche Vite.

NOTD: Autumn Is Coming...

As my last mani tried to get the last out of Summer I thought I would use more Autumnal colours for this one.

As always I first applied a base coat. Then to begin I painted 2 coats of China Glaze Fast Track on all nails.

I applied a coat of Seche Vite and allowed this to dry before I used these Triangle Swirl vinyls from TwinkledT. I put them on my thumb, middle and ring finger as shown. I painted over with China Glaze Purr-fect Plum then carefully peeled off the vinyls.

To finish I applied a top coat of Seche Vite.

NOTD: End Of Summer Leopard

I got a new phone case the other day and did this mani inspired by it. I was going to do something more Autumnal as it feels like Summer has ended, however there are still technically a couple weeks of Summer left and for a change today it's actually quite sunny. So here is my last Summery mani for a while!

To start as always I applied a base coat to all nails. Then I painted 1 coat of China Glaze White On White on all nails. Once dry I used a triangle makeup sponge to create a gradient using Avon Viva Pink, Rimmel Orange Bliss and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Man-go Team!

I did this gradient on all nails, but applied it at a slightly different angle on each nail.

Once the gradient was dry, I stamped over this leopard print pattern from Cheeky plate CH2 using MoYou Black stamping polish.

I then applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails, and that is the mani finished!

And here is my nails against the case that inspired this mani :)
