Skipper can best be described as a milky purple neon.

Jessica is so gorgeous, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, this stamps nicely as well.

Skipper is gorgeous, I love the tone of this, its a dusty neon if that makes sense, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. Its not showing up as colour accurate, my phone camera couldnt cope with this, its not as blue toned or as bright as my pics show.

One of the trips we took was to Sutton On Sea were we parked up and then walked the boardwalk to Mablethorpe, had delicious fish and chips, then an icecream then walked back to Sutton On Sea, on the way there we didnt think the weather would pick up, thankfully it didnt rain and there was a tiny bit of sunshine.

A couple of the mani's I did while off, these are using the Electric Escape collection from Orly, these performed very well and complimented each other.

The red flower right at the end is a lobelia that we got two years ago and thought we had killed (accidently) it had gotten knocked over while we were away for a week so had no water in very warm weather, we repotted it when we got back but it didnt do much last year, we then repotted it this year and its come back to life! 

This years kinda casualty are my agapanthus flowers who havent bloomed at all :(

Hey Friends

Today on the blog we meet Dannii and Maeve. Apologies for not getting this post up yesterday, had really bad migraine and slept on and off for almost 18 hours, now have migraine fatigue.

Last photo shows my mani for the next few days. I did two coats of PoP Living Dead a tri-thermal that goes from brown to orange to acid green, and stamped with Pop Smash a dark to light green using Moyou Pro plate XL20.

Another pair of pink undertoned purples, Kieko is gorgeous, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, she also stamps.

Sharon is really pink leaning, she does look very pink in this pics, but when I put her in the pinks she didnt look right, Sharon has a great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, she also stamps nicely. 

I think I'll have to do a line up of all these pink leaning purples so you can see the colour story.

Last pic shows all the pink leaning purples together, I'll pop the names up with the pic.










Left to right are Lois, Liv, keiko, Audrina, Rie and Sharon.

I love both of these, Audrina is stunning, another very pink leaning purple, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Audrina stamps well.

Rie is very similar to Audrina but is a slightly more red toned pinky purple, if that makes sense, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Rie also stamps well and I hope you can see that difference in the undertones via the stamping.
