China Glaze–Aqua Baby

I seem to have a lot of colours like this, but I never get sick of them. I’m a sucker for a good teal, aqua, turquoise …

 

This one is China Glaze Aqua Baby:

Beautiful! This was two coats. I really didn’t need the second coat but you know me, I had to do it anyway! This was amazing to apply and lasted a good few days on my tips before chipping.

 

I did some nail stamping using my Red Angel plates:

This is a really cool design, very funky. I like how there are some gaps where there aren’t any squares. I used Konad Special Polish in Pastel Blue for this. Super funky!

 

What colour do you always gravitate towards??

Miki–Ocean Spray

This is a bit of a meh mani. In my head it turned out a lot better than this. I think the problem is that I don’t actually like the base colour that much. Don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty, but it’s nothing special.

 

This is an unnamed Miki polish which I have dubbed “Ocean Spray”:

Two coats. See what I mean? Meh! Nothing special. I tried to perk it up a bit with some silver dotties using Sally Hansen’s Celeb City, but it didn’t work!

 

Had any fail manis lately?

Kleancolor Metallic Aqua with stamping

Oh my lord, this is the most beautiful metallic ever.

I give you, Kleancolor Metallic Aqua (two coats):

 

Pretty, huh?? Although it is much more of a blue than aqua. This was okay to apply. I had a bit of drag when going over already painted bits so that was a bit annoying. I was also doing it while on the phone so I made a mess of my right hand and of course, this polish stained like a biatch. So that was fun!!! Blue skin, anyone? My own fault for not paying attention though

I also stamped some silver clouds on my nails. This is a really bad photo (unfortunately I had no daylight so had to work with a very crappy lamp) so you can’t see it properly. I used the silver Konad Princess Special Polish and a new stamping plate I got from APM Express. It has 221 designs on it, including a lot of full nail designs which I love. They are exact duplicates of Konad designs! Love

I wanted to take a photo to show you the plate but of course, shiny surfaces don’t play nice with my camera!!!

Stupid shinies
