Time Period Challenge: Medieval

A medieval challenge and my first thought was of castles and fighting on horse back, and so here is my castle nails.

Tri-Colour Nail Challenge: Pink, Orange and Turquoise #3

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 third challenge, supposed to be liquorice all sorts:

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.

Nails: St. George's Day

Another year, another Saint George's Day manicure! You can see the ones I did last year here, thought I would try something a little more complex this time around.

Base Polish: Sally Hansen - Lavender Cloud
Freehand acrylic paints

Review: ELF - Nail Polish Set - Beautifully Bright

Finally ELF has some new nail polish colours which aren't variants of pink! This collection is called Beautifully Bright and that is exactly what it is, bright and perfect for wearing this spring / summer.

First up we have a orange / peach colour called Party Peach. This is two coats which covered perfectly, I can see a very subtle glass flecked shimmer in there but it is very subtle. ELF do have two other polishes of a similar colour family, Mango Madness and Fire Coral. You can now purchase this polish as a single polish.

The second polish is a yellow, cream polish, which was certainly missing from ELF's range. This is two coats and it looked fine to my eye but under the harsh photo flash it does look slightly streaky, but I imagine another thin coat would solve that.

And finally we have Teal Blue which is also available in a full sized bottle. Again this is two coats and it seems enough for the full effect. This is a cream polish. I did a post about this in a full sized bottle recently here.

All polishes are smaller 6ml, than the standard 10ml ELF polish. However they are really easy to use and the brush doesn't actually seem smaller or more complex to work with. I actually think it could be the same size brush as in the standard sized bottles.
