Andrea Fulerton Sharon

Today I have for you another of the Andrea Fulerton polishes, Sharon.  Which is a light grey with a subtle shimmer.

Application was great but I found I needed 3 coats to get the coverage I like.

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





Andrea Fulerton polishes can be purchased from Superdrug or Amazon.

Thanks for looking <3

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
