52 Week Challenge: Week 24 - Kawaii

This really was a challenge! Inspired by Kawaii, firstly I had to research in to exactly what it was. I had a vague idea of cutesy Japanese cartoon type images which is what I attempted to do.


The cupcake and the kitty is most likely the most accurately Kawaii.

52 Week Challenge: Week 22 - Flag

52 Week Challenge: Week 21 - Green

This challenge really seems to have a lot of different looks, is anyone else doing it?
This week's theme was 'green'


Base Polish: W7 - Fluorescent Green
Shatter: Barry M - Black Nail Effects

As you can tell I wasn't a fan of the brightness of the green on its own and I think it looks so much better with a crackle. Especially the black.
