Two Posts in One! M is for Multi Coloured and Nail Art Linkup

I recently joined A2Z Nail Series hosted by Pocket Money Polish linked here. It's a once a week prompt inspired by the letter of the week. This is my first one, and the letter is M and the prompt is Multi-Coloured. I used another Indie Polish that's already released linked here. Its a hot pink, yellow and white glitter topper called 38! I have swatches coming soon, but consider this a sneak peak. This look was inspired by some flowers a while back from Bionic Hips and Fingertips linked here.

I'm also squeezing this in as the Hot Pink Prompt for the #naillinkup for february and here is the info if you are interested. It's an easy one to get involved in.

I used acrylics for the design, including some new hot neons. The base is Liquid Leather from China Glaze.

All in all I love it, but this is a simple one anyone could try out.

Polished Bookworms, Big Little Lies

‎This is my mani for a book and nail club I joined on Facebook linked here if you are interested in joining. Our first book was Big Little Lies By Liane Moriarty. The idea is we voted in a book for each month, we then discuss and create a mani from the imagery of the story. 

I created these hilarious Darth Vader nails after a scene where a therapist mentioned that a child in the story named Ziggy thinks his real father is Darth Vader. I thought this was funny, and the idea stuck in my head for the mani. 

I used China Glaze Liquid Leather for my black base and Above The Curve Don't Blink for my Vader nail. The words and cartoon like Vader were created with acrylic and the designs with a Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Silver. 

This was a good practice for my lettering, but I'm still in need of much more practice. Apologies for the direct sunlight, I was trying to get the holo, but even after edits these were a little bright!

Indie Polish, Blazing Sun Burn

This is the very first of the Meet Me in Mexico collection I reached for. It sang out to me cause it's just the coolest shade. So cool in fact, I'm pretty sure this is the one Indie Polish had to restock already. But as of this morning was listed here. This is just two perfect coats of this hot coral wonder.

I was really thrilled to try these and this brand, and the brand owner was also lovely to work with.

Indie Polish, Frolic in the Ocean

***sent for review
This is Frolic in th Ocean from Indie Polish available here.  Just a soft shimmering sea green. This is two coats over white undies, but three thin easy ones would work and even with two, there was only a hint of VNL without undies. So easy peasy either way and dries fast. This was one of my faves and would be lovely in spring.

Loving these, and I've heard they are selling out. If your interested don't wait. What is your favourite colour to wear on vacation? I'm a hot pink girl myself.

Indie Polish, Don't Forget the Suncreen

This is Don't Forget Sunscreen and is now available linked here. This is a serious yellow polish. It's creamy and buttery and waxy in finish compared to the others. The colour is super summery like sunshine or ripe corn. I just love this and can't wait to do some art on it. I'm not a huge yellow person, but I fell in love. This is two coats over a subtle yellow base. But opacity could be achieved in three.

I really liked this one and its finish was pretty unique, but still easy to work with.

January 31, Signature Style

This is another one I prepped near the begining. A trick I learned because near the end of these challenges you can feel pretty overwhelmed. Anyway, my styles are pretty easy for me to peg. I'm really girlie, so I love pinks and purples and florals etc. My other style art wise would be my freehand creations, but you guys have seen lots of this lately so I went with some stamping for today. This is Essie's Full Steam Ahead topped with Peita's Polish Jellybean Dream. I then layered stamping in Konad white and black with the tile and floral designs from a mix of plates. I really really liked the double stamped look.

I saved you guys this shot of the polish combo too, because it's just so pretty and well...girlie! I'm happy to say I successfully finished the January 31 day Crumpets Nail Tarts challenge. It was fun, and I got some cool looks done I wouldn't have otherwise done, umm hello dirt? Next month should be fun with some girlie Valentine's looks, and maybe some un-Valentine's looks too.

Indie Polish, Meet Me in Mexico Collection Launches Today!

***Sent for review.
The Meet Me In Mexico line from Indie Polish launches at noon est. today and is linked here.
This collection is four individual highly pigmented polishes with a matte finish and fantastic formula. I have more in depth reviews coming on each, but wanted to break down the collection for you today so you don't miss out.

First up is a coral leaning polish called Blazing Sun Burn this one has my heart, and is my fave in the collection.

Next is a stunner in a sea worthy green called Frolic in the Ocean. This has the same wonderful formula an finish as above, this is two coats over white.

This is Drinks with Umbrellas and I could see this on my toes on vacation or all summer long. Same finish as above, this is two coats no undies.

This one is a slightly different finish then the matte of the others, more of an interesting waxed look. This is Don't Forget Sunscreen. This is two coats with yellow cream undies. You could skip the undies easily and just do three thin quick drying coats.

Overall, I would highly recommend both the brand and this collection. It's fun summery and perfect for vacation getaways in the sun. Don't forget to head over to the store linked  here to grab yours if you love these as much as I did, launch is at noon est.

Cheers all,
