80's Themed Nail Art

I haven't been able to post that much recently, I have been super busy planning a surprise birthday party for my husbands 30th. 

As you can probably guess from the picture it was an 80's themed party. 

Well the party was last saturday and now you all have my undivided attention! I will hopefully get back into the swing of posting nearly every day :) 

I just had to use my new bold Essie polishes for this mani, I used Essie's Lights, Essie's Butler Please and BarryMs Lemon Ice Cream. 

I used Cheeky plate CH51 from the summer 2012 collection and Konad Special polish in Black. 

I hope you enjoy this bright mani and i hope you all haven't missed me tooooo much ;p 

Tropical Paradise

It has been so hot here recently and I just had to do a tropical themed nail art. 

I apologize about my terrible cuticles! They are just getting worse and worse!

For the gradient I used BarryM's Lemon Ice Cream as a base. I then used a makeup sponge and Essie's Fear and Desire and Orange it Obvious to create the fade.

I used Kleancolors Holo Poppy for the glitter. 

The Palm tree is painted using acrylic paint.

I hope you are all having a lovely hot week!
