Barry M Spring Green in Winter

BARRY M – Spring Green

Hi Goddesses

A short and sweet post from me and my “lover” (ahem Elizabeth) Barry M J

Spring Green is pure Irish emerald goodness.  There is nothing subtle about this colour at all – it’s GREEN.

Lol.  This has no hidden agenda, it just wants to be GREEN.  There’s not much in nature that passes for this colour, but this is the exact shade of Irish green you need for tricolours and shamrocks.

This did bend darker in some lights than others, but you can’t deny it, this is GREEN!

And now to the glittering ….

·         Thumb – CG Snow Globe

·         Index – CG White Cap

·         Middle – OPI Rainbow Connection

·         Ring – Tangled In My Web

·         Pinkie – Northern Lights Out The Door holographic top coat.

Unlike the other colours I have put these glitters on, I am really not sure I have a favourite here – which one works for you ??

Enjoy J  xx

Purple Crumpet Fairy Christmas Challenge - Snow Globe

PURPLE CRUMPET FAIRY CHALLENGE – The 31 Days of Christmas

Day 3 - Snow Globe

Hi Goddesses

Well I feel like I have started with 2 MAMMOTH fails in the Purple Crumpet Fairy 31 Days of Christmas Challenge.  They required art work that was beyond my ability, and I have been pooping myself about my Snow Globe.

I did seriously contemplate copping out and just doing a skittle of wintry colours, all layered with CG Snow Globe, but NO, Crumpet riseth to the challenge!  So instead I spent half an hour wandering around the house trying to find a circular shape that would be just the right size for a snow globe.  Obviously, everything was just a little too big or a little to small – aaarrgghh!

Overview – this features 5 nails, 4 of which feature the same snowglobe, taken from different perspectives.  The thumb has the whole, the index finger the top half, the middle the bottom half and the pinkie a super zoomed-in version of the top half.  All the nails have had 2 coats of CG Sea Spray which is not only beautiful but PERFECT for winter manis, and the accent nail has 1 simple layer of CG Snowglobe.

Each nail features the same snowglobe – a ickle Cwismas twee J  I wanted to do something clean and simple and Christmas tree came up a lot for Google images.  The alternative was a snowman, but as I did that yesterday AND there’s a snowman day coming up … well, not an option.

Colours used –

·         Tree = CG Starboard

·         Outer rim of globe = SH White On

·         Base of globe = Barry M Gold

·         Silver tinsel, star and baubles = CG Cheers to You, a really fabulous metallic silver

·         Purple baubles = Milani 1 coat glitter in Purple Gleam

·         Tree trunk = Orly Instant Artist in Chocolate

·         Snow = Nubar White Polka Dot

Phew – for me, that constitutes MASSIVE planning and consideration lol!  I hope this “art” was tolerable for you J

BTW, if you're wondering why some photos are pre-clean up and pre Nubar, it's because Crumpet has learnt that disasters are ALWAYS around the corner, so I took some halfway-through photos *just in case*  :) 

It’s not too late to join us – just click here and do as many or as few days as you want – no pressure, just fun J

Enjoy xx J
