Pokémon Challenge - Week 3 - Water

I am a massive fan of the animé - watched it all through my childhood - so the majority of my nails will have a storyline attached. Today I went for Squirtle nails - I did these at Becca's house as we've had a nail painting afternoon - so you will see her awesome water attempt today too :)

So, Ash meets his Squirtle when he encounters the Squirtle Squad - a group of pokemon abandoned by their owners. They steal food, graffiti and generally cause havoc around the town.

Ash ends up showing the leader Squirtle how strong his pokémon are and that he cares and would never abandon a pokemon and that pokémon and their trainers want to do GOOD things.. And so Squirtle and his gang become fire fighters and save the town.

When Ash leaves the village, the squirtle leader decides he wants to go with him, so removes his glasses and runs to jump into Ash's arms <3 

So here are my nails - the full Squirtle Squad <3 they are a bit messier than I would like but I am pleased with the overall result!

Check out everyone else's water nails - they're all amazing! :)

One Man's Trash.. Is My Treasure!! :)

A friend of mine texted me the other day as she was having a polish clear out, offering me first refusal on them - so of course I said yes!

And she wouldnt take anything for them - I was gobsmacked with how generous she was!

So here are my 'winnings' :D I'm so excited to share them all with you!

She put it all in this lovely little box for me (you can see some of my own polishes around the outside :) )

It's like finding gold! :)

So there were LOTS of OPI's :) Left to Right - Yoga-Ta Get This Blue, Absolutely Alice, Silver Shatter, 2 minis which don't have names but I think they might be from the Ger-Mini collection?

Left to Right - Lincoln Park After Dark, Music Hall Curtain Call, Off With Her Red, Schnapps Out of It!, Monsooner or Later

At first I thought I had gotten two bottles the same, but on the right is William Tell Me About OPI - I've put it next to Lincoln Park After Dark so you can see the comparison.

3 Nicole by OPI shades - Fell From the Tree (Green! <3) , Loyalty to the Royal, Jade in the Shade (as you can see, this looks blue in the photo, but if you look at the bottle in the shade, it does look jade green!)

4 Nails Inc Shades, plus another mini OPI that escaped my other OPI photos! - Left to right: Spitalfields (Magnetic Fishnet Effect), Portobello, Notting Hill Gate Mini, Chesham Street.

And lots of other brands - Ciaté - Jelly Bean, No 7 Stay Perfect - Milan 110, No 7 Stay Perfect - Glitterball Mini, Barry M - Bright Pink, No 7 Stay Perfect - Spice.

2 x Floozie Frost French polishes, Avon Nailwear Pro - Pastel Pink, Fearne - Lemon Drizzle. (Poor picture - I'm sorry!)

I honestly can't believe how generous she was to give me all of these for free - I am seriously looking forward to testing all of these out and I already have some nail art ideas in my head!

Thank you so much Angela if you are reading this! xxx

Do you have any of these shades / want any of these shades? What do you think of them? I'm most excited to try the Nails Inc Fishnet Polish (never tried magnetic polish before!) and the Nicole by OPI shades <3
