Grease The Movie Inspired Nails - China Glaze 'Sugar Rush'

Hi everyone,

I've been a very bad blogger and challenge participant! On the 17th of June over at Adventures In Stamping I was a day late in uploading my 70's Inspired design and now I'm posting 5 days later than I should be. I've been alot busier than I thought...

Well, better late than never I say! I didn't want to go down the traditional route of neon, tie dye, peace signs ect. because I figured that everyone would do that. Instead, I looked at movies that were released in the 70's, and voila, Grease Is The Word!

I have used;
Basecoat - Seche Clear
Colour on ring finger - two coats of China Glaze 'Liquid Leather'
Colour on remaining fingers - two coats of China Glaze 'Sugar Rush'
Top coat - Seche Vite
Stamping - Konad Special Polish in white and black
Plates Used - m73 (music notes), MM03 (couple silhouette), BM317 (hearts), m71 (girl), m18 (letter T), BM315 (bird), BM305 (lightening)

I am so happy with this design! I recently received my Messy Mansion and Bundle Monster plates, so it was great having a selection of images to choose from. And between you and me... I have another 6 parcels arriving :)

I have had many comments on how cute my thumb looks, it's my favourite finger for this design. Just in case you are wondering what my inspiration actually translates too:

Thumb - We Go Together (song)

Index - Hopelessly Devoted To You (song)

Middle - The Pink Ladies

Ring - The T-Birds

Pinky - Greased Lighnin' (song)

Hopefully my next update is sooner rather than later.

Happy Polishing!

Floral Blue Gradient - BYS 'Matte Blue'

I have been without internet for a couple of days and its been killing me! I can now finally update my newest nail look for this week.

After seeing a beautiful manicure on Pinterest I thought I would try and see if I could get the same result. Thank you to Nihrida for this great design and colour combination!

I think it came pretty close to the orginal. My first gradient (that has worked haha) and my first time wearing blue.

I have used:
Basecoat - Seche Clear
Two coats of BYS 'Matte Blue'
Gradient - BYS 'Matte Blue' and 'Matte Purple'
Topcoat - Seche Vite
Stamping - Konad Special Stamping Polish in black
Image Plate - Konad m73
Sealed with Seche Vite

Not my own design, but I loved the colours and had to try it myself. Love this image plate too, I think it will be a favourite!

Happy polishing! Kelly xx
