LiL Challenge: Monochrome!

Hello!
This post is so late, I'm sorry! But anyway... on Monday, Life in Lacquer's July Nail-Art Challenge prompt was "Monochrome" so I took to doing some black and grey tape-mani nails! It worked rather well, I think.




For this tape mani I actually found some striping tape instead of trying to cut up pieces of actual Sellotape. It was so much easier, and gave a nicer effect than the last one!

To start with, I painted my nails in a grey Leighton Denny polish, called "Zero Gravity" and then let it dry completely before placing the tape strips on. Then I painted over the tape and grey polish in Rimmel London's "Black Cab" (on my thumb, middle and pinkie nails) and Barry M's "Black Multi Glitter" (on my other two nails).


The difference between the two blacks is very, very subtle, but sometimes a subtle difference is all you need to spice things up a little extra. :) 





So there we are- my Monochrome nails for the prompt! I hope you like them as much as I do- it's quite a sophisticated nail look from me for a change! 


See you all tomorrow for another post!

Make Sure You Follow!

Hey everyone! Apologies for the lack of yesterday's post- unfortunately this one if going to be the last before I go away tomorrow. I'm not 100% sure if there'll be wifi at the place we're staying (we're going to study the animals after all, not to be social over the internet), but just in case there is, you should make sure that you're following me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook! I'll try to post at least one image or update on each per day, assuming that we have wifi, so to be a part of this adventure, make sure you hit the buttons!

A Night at the Oscars...

Hello everyone!  Well, it's been quite a long time since I've written... (again!)- Life just keeps catching up with me unfortunately! Anyway... As you all probably know, it was the Oscar Awards last Sunday, and wow- what a mixture of outfits, nails and surprises (I bet that pizza delivery guy had an awesome time!)

GoT: House Stark

Hey everyone! The Fandoms are continuing to 'Strike Back' today, and House Stark is leading the battle in Game of Thrones! Image credit to HBO I think the Starks are my favourite house in the GoT universe, so it seemed like a good place to start for the second half of the Game of Thrones manis- the Houses!
