Nails: Top 5 Spring Polishes 2013

Although there may be snow on the ground I still believe that spring is in the air, even if it is just on my nails. So I had a look through my polish stash and these are my top five spring time nail polishes, and I am quite liking this 'spring time skittle' manicure I have going on.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 04

This stamping plate is from the first Bundle Monster set, it is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp.

I found all of the images stamped well the poodle, I can get it work work 1 in 4 times. But other than I really like the filigree design and the fish bones.

Time Period Challenge: Ancient Greece

I attempted to do Parthenon, which sort of envisions the architecture of the Ancient Greek times. Along with the Greek God Zeus' fork.

Nails: Monkey See Monkey Do - Evanora - Oz Great and Powerful

These nails are inspired by Evanora (Rachel Weisz) nails from the movie Oz The Great and Powerful. I saw a tutorial by cute polish which is where I originally saw these and was inspired to try it. You can see a photo of the nails here.
