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

Andrea Fulerton Annie

This is the last Andrea Fulerton polish I have to show you from the Metallic Magic Autumn Winter collection, well for now anyway.

This polish is called Annie and is a pure icy silver polish with silver micro glitter through it.  It also had great coverage with 2 coats and application was easy and smooth.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Continuing the theme of this collection I wanted to try some nail art, and this idea seemed simple and made use of the 'dot' part of the 'dot and flick' tool in the shade Judy. The dot part of this tool was very easy to use and allowed the spots to remain about the same size each time as the polish flowed quite well through the tool.

I hope you have had a much fun looking at my art with this collection as I had trying them out for you.  Again the polish is £4.99 and the 'dot and flick' tool is £3.99

Thanks for looking <3

Andrea Fulerton Kylie

Today I have for you Kylie from the Andrea Fulerton Metallic Magic Autumn Winter collection.  I have 3 polishes from this collection to show you but have planned a separate post for each.

Kylie is an icy silver shimmer with hints of lilac, it also has micro glitter running through it in pink and silver.

Application of this polish was smooth and easy and coverage was opaque in 3 coats, if I had done a slightly thicker second coat I could have probably stopped there, but as I normally do quite thinish coats, there was slight nail line still visible after the second but this was eliminated with the third coat.  This polish, even with the glitter through it, was smooth without top coat.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

When I got these polishes, I also got an Andrea Fulerton Nail Art 'Dot and Flick' dual tool in Judy (black) and some Andrea Fulerton Nail Tattoos, and the one I will show you is called 'Chains'.

Now, I am not very good with the nail art, I normally stick to basic polish or layering, sometime a tape mani but freehand is not my strong point, but I thought I would give it a try.

Saying that, I found the 'Dot and Flick' Pen very easy to use, it has two parts, a pull off lid with the dotter and a screw lid with the striper tool.  I was able to use the striper with ease and found it distributed the polish evenly and in straight lines without needing too much coaxing.

The Nail Tattoos were also very easy to apply, they are self adhesive so do not require glue, I just lifted the strip from the sheet with tweezers and placed on the nail and then used a pair of nail scissors to trim the excess.

Here is the above mani with the 'Flick' part of the tool to do the lines and one of the 'Chain' tattoos inbetween the two lines.  I also added another coat of the Shield to this to seal the design.

Andrea Fulerton polishes and art tools can be bought from Superdrug or Amazon.  The polish is 5.5ml and costs £4.99, the Dot and Flick tool is 6ml and costs £3.99 and the sheet of Nail tattoos costs £1.99.

I hope you like this and thank you for looking <3
