Polish Days Geometry Nails (feat Nails Inc and Andrea Fulerton)

Today I am taking part in the wonderful Polish Days event organised by the lovely Hannah of Polly Polish.

I didn't take part in the first Polish Day as I didn't have the Floam required, and I completely forgot to sign up for the Olympics one *edit: there was also a Jelly Sandwich Day I didn't do*, but after much reminding, I finally signed up for this round.

Now the theme is Geometry, and I would have loved to have done something more M C Escher inspired as I am a great fan, but do not have the talent unfortunately, so that left me with a basic colour blocked mani.

First I started with 1 coat of the Knight, then 2 of Nails Inc Floral Street.
Then I painted 1 coat of Nails Inc London Sky in a diagonal across the nail.
Then 2 coats of Nails Inc The Thames in a diagonal going the other way.
I then went over all the joining lines with Andrea Fulerton Dot and Flick tool in Judy.
And 1 coat of the Shield to finish it all off.

I was actually really impressed and really liked the finished result and I hope you all do too.






If you want to sign up for future Polish Days you can do so here.

Thanks for looking and see below for details of the other participants and their manis <3 xx

Nubar Polka Dot Collection

I have for you all today, the Nubar Polka Dot collection.

This collection consists of 2 polishes - Polka Dot Black which has a clear base with large black hexagonal glitter and smaller black hexagonal glitter and Polka Dot White which also has a clear base and large white hexagons and smaller almost holographic hexagons.  Application was fairly easy, although some of the larger dots did require slight repositioning with the brush to spread over the nail fully.

I decided to try these firstly over black and white polishes to get a monochrome effect.

So first here is Polka Dot Black.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Nails Inc Floral Street, 1 coat of the Polka Dots and 1 coat of the Shield.




Next we have Polka Dot White.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of a-england Camelot, 1 of the Polka Dots and 1 coat of the Shield.




Then I went a little bit layer happy and decided to try something else out.  I wanted to try both dots over a grey, I needed a mid toned grey so both sets of dots would show up, so I chose Nails Inc London Sky.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 coats of London Sky, 1 coat of the Black Dots, 1 coat of the White Dots and 1 coat of the Shield.  Whew, thats a whole lot of layers!





I love these Polka Dot polishes!! I cannot wait to try them over all sorts of different colours to see what they look like.

What do you think of this collection?  Will you be picking any up?

Thanks for looking as always <3

The Nubar polishes in this post were sent to me for review, all other polishes were purchased by me.
