Polish Days Sentimental Polish (feat a-england)

And here we are again, Polish Days.  Thanks again to the lovely Hannah of Polly Polish for putting this all together.  Octobers theme is Sentimental Polish which Hannah was nice enough to let us interpret in our own way, but using her words here is the idea behind it 'maybe there is one polish that started it all, a polish you went through hell and high water to get your paws on, some nail art that reminds you of someone you love, or simply a polish that you would return to a burning building to rescue'

I decided to go with the 'one polish that started it all' theme, but not the first polish that started my collection, the first polish that gave me the push I needed to start my blog.

Before I discovered a-england, my collection was almost exclusively Nails Inc but a-england was a very welcome discovery to me and made the thought that had been at the back of my head about wanting to start a blog jump right to the front.

Now this wasn't the first a-england to be featured on my blog, but it was the first one I purchased, Lady of the Lake.  Now after much thought I decided just to show you the Lady again alone, even though you have seen her here, and many other places, one more post on such a beauty can't hurt.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Lady of the Lake and 1 of the Shield.

Thank you for looking and please see below for the other ladies participating in this months Polish Days.

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
