Dressed Up Nails (3 Manicures In 1 Post!)

Allo polish Pals!

Happy New Years! Welcome to the first post of 2016! Great to see you here! Did you have a great time celebrating? I didn't tell you this I got a new camera for Christmas! These will be the first pictures you'll see with me using it so I'd love your feedback, I think they mostly look better but I'm still making friends with the camera.  

Also I have teabag protection on a rip on my index finger so please excuse any awkward looking lumps and bumps! ;)

Today's post has not one but three manicures – Triple whammy! All inspired by beautiful and interesting wedding dresses, bridesmaid dressed and even prom dresses. There are five dresses I've picked out in all from Rosa Novias extensive collection, three of which I have paired with nail art, the other two are open for discussion -What nails would you wear with the last two dresses? This is a hefty post so lets continue.




Click pictures to enlarge.
For this dress I decided to go a little darker with a bit of glitz to add some glamour. I wanted to create something that looked a little like rose petals to mimic the detailing on the dress but it didn't look how I expected.. I do think the effect is quite interesting though. This is Barry M's Black with Studio London's nameless silver glitter and freehand ruffles. I've also created a matching bold and subtle look - come see!

I'm A Fairytale Character! Story Nail Art Inspired By A Dress

Allo polish Pals!
How are you? I hope you are having a good week so far? Do you ever just day dream?...Zzz..

It was a beautiful crisp morning in the Enchanted forest and everyone was just beginning to arise from their slumber. First came the birds, the Robin's shaking off their sleepy dreams from their nests, the Blue Jays groggily flying off to collect breakfast for their young. Next came the critters, the dozy dormice rubbing away their sleep and the rabbits dragging their sluggish bodies into the sunlight. The drowsy deer entered the clearing beside the cottage and tentatively chewed at the dewy grass.

Inspired by this dress.
There was an almighty crash, clunk and clang as the cottage door flung open. The animals looked on with no expressions of surprise. “Here we go again..” murmered the bullfrog to the raccoon as Ithfifi crawled out of the cottage sporting an unruly head of tangled black hair, aqua plaid pyjama's and what looked like... no, it couldn't be... Yep, toothpaste around her mouth. A zombie-like groan escaped her lips - She clearly had not had a cup of tea yet. “Gee Whiz, She's really something, isn't she?” whispered the fox to the rabbit. “I've never seen anything quite like it, and the ball is in two hours! She must go, for this is the 'Ball Of Bloggers! Whatever will we do?!"


The animals retreated back into the the depths of the forest and conducted an emergency meeting. 

“We are going to need Formal Ball Dresses” exclaimed the beaver. “I'll second that and add that we are going to need something for that abomination on her head! I suggest some serum..or something to stick it down at least, a tiara and a tangle teezer” announced the vole. “Guys!” shouted the chipmunk... “How could you forget, its one of the most important parts of all..!” The critters looked around desperately trying to think of what they could have forgotten. “Her nails of course! Everybody go gather what you can, we'll meet in an hour and piece everything together” instructed the chipmunk in his best bossiest voice.

So off the critters went, to seek and find a way to spruce up Ithfifi before the big ball. The frizz was banished and the tangles were tamed, she slipped into the most beautiful ball gown and holographic glittery peeptoe shoes were put upon her pedicured feet. Her cheeks were blushed with the tail of a squirell and the tiara was placed above her curls and waves.

There was just one thing left for the critters to take care of..  They began with dabs of Essie's 'Set In Stone' to add a little glitter and then the critters each took a small dotting tool and began to stick the loose holographic glitter around her cuticles, singing while they worked.
Scratchy and bitty looking glitter. Elegence without being uniform! (What do you expect when your glitter is all different shapes and sizes! )
Ithfifi yawned and carefully opened her eyes. The sunlight was pouring through the curtains and she was half hanging out of the bed. Out of the bed... No, she hadn't been in bed?! It couldn't have been a dream, could it?! It had all felt so real, the glitter, the nails! Ithfifi fearfully stared down at her hands and saw the cruddy chipped nails.. a manicure from a few days ago...

I know this has been a random post but I hope you have enjoyed something a little different. Sometimes its good to do something unusual! I'll recoverfrom the disappointment of it just being a dream. .  Man do I wish I had actual animal friends to do my nails.

Have a lovely and magical day,
Love
Ithi
