Sportsgirl Matte Grey & feathers

Hello lovelies!

I am trying to get back into the swing of blogging, so I thought I would share todays mani with you. 

A bit of background first.. some of you may remember last year I started Paint It Blue, a month long 'event' for Autism Awareness. After it was done quite a few of the group members mentioned they would like to continue on doing theme and cause manis, and thus Paint It ALL The Colours was born!  This fortnights theme is 'feathers'. 

I decided to go for a delicate look, so for my base I used Matte Grey from Sportsgirl. Yes, Sportsgirl. Definitely not a store I usually go in, but this is proof I will go anywhere for nail polish.  ;)

The formula on the polish wasn't fabulous, but I find that alot with matte polishes. The second coat evened it all out, and I think a couple of drops of thinner will help. Once I put on the decals I top-coated it anyway. The grey does have a lovely shimmer, but sadly I couldn't seem to capture that in the photos.

I am very happy with how this turned out, the feathers seem to be floating in the breeze. I also just received some actual nail art feathers, so can't wait to try them out!

Till next time.

Valentines Day mani

Hello lovelies!

Happy Valentines Day to all who celebrate. Hubby and I don't usually bother, but this year he surprised me with the Love Thy Polish Speckled n' Freckled pales collection, plus a custom topper!  Bit excited!

How gorgeous are they!? I'm so spoilt. :)

So even though I don't usually do Valentines Day, I wanted to do a mani. I saved one of my review Sea Siren Cosmetics polishes just for it.

The polishes I used are Cabin Fever, Leucosia and Gossip.

I used Cabin Fever and Leucosia as my base colours and let dry. I top-coated, and painted another thick layer on top. Then using a dotting tool I did two or three dots and then quickly dragged a very thin nail art brush through the dots. My pinkie didn't work out too well, I think I pressed too hard lol

Formula on all of the Sea Siren polishes was awesome, I love how vibrant the red is!

Sea Siren polishes can be purchased here, and be sure to check her out on Facebook and Instagram as well!

Till next time!
