Flip / Flop February Challenge - Day 10 - Fish Tail Braid / Half Moons

Today I tried my first Fish Tail Braid nails.

I used three Nicole by OPI shades - Loyalty to Royal-ty, Jade in the Shade and Fell From the Tree.

This took me AGES. It looks so simple, but when you factor in drying time... eurgh. Really pleased with the results though :) I saw one on Jill's page and I think I should've done wider lines like hers, then maybe it wouldn't have taken so long!

 

Check out what everyone else did today!

Flip / Flop February Challenge - Day 6 - Fan Brush / Glitter Bomb

Today I went for Glitter Bomb - I heart glitter! :)

I went for simple - the polishes I used were Nicole by OPI - Loyalty to the Royal and Sephora - Only Gold For Me Top Coat.

 

Check out everyone else's manis today!

 

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
