Sunday Stamping: Earth Day

Earth Day 2013 is actually tomorrow, however the challenge was to do nails inspired by earth day. I did these using the cling film / saran wrap method and stamped between the layers, although it has came up quite subtle.

Tri-Colour Nail Challenge: Pink, Orange and Turquoise #2

This is the second month of a new nail challenge, you are set three colours and you select three polishes to represent each colour. Four days, four different manicures using said polishes. I ended up doing this for the second challenge:

These are the three polishes which are to be used for these challenges. Expect to see three more for this month. ELF's Gum Pink, La Femme's Ultra Gold and Collection 2000's Electric Dreams.

Time Period Challenge: Ancient Rome

The nails I have attempted to do really don't do ancient Rome justice. I kept failing every attempt at this and this was the fourth attempt at something. I did want to do the roman wall but I just couldn't get it right. Anyhow this is supposed to be Caesars laurel wreath, some grapes and the roman shield.
