After more than a year of talking about it, pondering and hesitating, I finally took the leap and a bought a new camera. I've had my old Olympus E-510 for close to 5 years now and I felt it was time for a little upgrade. In the end I went for the Canon 60D. It arrived yesterday and I've spent every waking hour since trying to figure it out! This is my first post using pictures from that camera so let me know if they look any different.
Recently I was looking through all the piCture pOlish Blog Fest 2013 entries and two in particular caught my eye. I just loved Lucy's Stash and XOXO Alexis Leigh's Blog Fest manicures and this creation is a sort of mash-up of the two. I took the idea of painting from the corner from Alexis and a lot of the patterns were inspired by Lucie! I like the subtle colours but I also think it would look amazing in a combination of brights.
1. For the base I used one coat of Barry M Lychee (creme nude) followed by two coats of Nails Inc Elizabeth Street (shimmery nude).
2. I freehanded on the designs with a nail art brush using NYC Mint Macaroon, Sally Hansen Himalayan Blue and Barry M Prickly Pear.
3. When everything was dry I finished it off with two coats of No7 Stay Perfect Top Coat.
