Poppy Nails for ANZAC Day

With ANZAC Day fast approaching here in New Zealand and Australia I wanted to try something to commemorate our ANZAC's. Below is my little poppy effort - :)

The polishes I used are listed below in order of the pictures from top to bottom and left to right...

*Hot Red by Jordana
*Green Tea ( 23 ) by CR - Cairuo
*5th Ave. by Jordana
*Black Pop Art Polish by Jordana
*84 by CR - Cairuo ( A cute gold glitter that is only good over other polishes )

I'm quite happy with the poppies as I've never used nail art brushes before. Not bad for a first attempt - Hehehe. Hope you like them - :)

Sailor Nails

New sailor nails by request - :)

These Nails Were Painted Using the Following Polishes...

*Bright Blue by Jordana
*Hot Red by Jordana
*White Pop Art Polish by Jordana

 Application: The Hot Red polish was opaque in 2 coats. The Bright Blue polish however, needed 3 coats and possibly could have done with another which is disappointing considering Jordana is usually such a great polish - :(

Galaxy Nails!!!

Galaxy nails in shades of pink and purple. I was doubtful that I could actually pull these off and am so totally stoked that I did - :D

The inspiration for my colour combo was a new tee I purchased ( see pic below ) while out shopping with my middle son on Saturday.

The polishes I used are listed below in order of the pictures from top to bottom and left to right...

*Black by Jordana ( For the base - not shown )
*Purple Punch by Jordana
*Silky Purple by Jordana
*Lavender Fields by Jordana
*Purple Dynamite by Jordana ( A really strange name for a hot pink polish - hahaha )
*Love Bug by Jordana
*Crystal Glitter by Jordana ( This glitter is gorgeous and easy to remove too )


Simple Black Nails

Sleek black nails. Everyone loves them right? While they may be out of season now I personally think they are a classic go to for almost any occasion.

These Nails Were Painted Using the Following Polish...

*Black by Jordana
 
Application:
I love Jordana polishes and have over 40 of them in my collection so far. As with the Soft White used in my previous post, Jordana's Black polish was opaque in 2 coats and glides on so easily. What's even better is the fact it's available in $2 Dollar Shops here in N.Z for just $3 making it super cheap - :)
