31DC2017 Day 28: A Flag – A Li’l Bit British
Read moreMy least favourite prompt in the #31DC2017 is the Flag one. Every year. It is the least inspiring yet I’ve never done a ‘serious’ flag, like for realsies. Didn’t entirely do that this year either, but incorporated the British Flag into a mani with some metallic decals I had on hand. I did some matte stamping with Plate BP-L078 from @bornprettystore (use

31DC2017 Day 24: A Book – On The Road
Read moreDay 24 of the 31 Day Challenge prompt is: A Book – I had done ‘On The Road’ by Jack Kerouac. Mainly because I want need a holiday and can’t have one.

31DC2017 Day 23: A Movie – Steel Magnolias
Read moreLike a Bride who’s fashionably late, running a little behind with the #31DC2017 movie prompt, so you get a dodgy pic from the vault, on poor Cindy no less. Also leaving me to match a movie to the mani rather than the other way around. A double up challenge day today. 31DC Inspired by a Movie combined with the Metallic Chrome

Opallac Violet Spark – Gel Polish Swatch
Read moreOpallac Violet Spark – take a look at a Gel Polish Swatch of this deep violet polish.
