Polish Days - Olympics

A while ago now I signed up to be a part of Polish Days.
Polish Days is an event set up by Hannah at Polly Polish. To find out more about it and sign up have a look HERE.

This is the first time I have participated and I'm not going to lie to you, I was more than a little worried when I found out the theme!
I was in no way interested in the Olympics. In fact I was a little bored of hearing about it. Then when it started and I actually sat and watched a bit of it I was all about the Olympics and Team GB!
But by then there were so many other very talented bloggers who had done their own Olympic manicures that I started fretting that I wouldn't be able to come up with anything new.
But I still gave it a go and this is what I came up with.




Thumb - Base two coats of Barry M Silver Foil to represent our Silver in Equestrian Team Eventing.
Barry M Black for the Equestrian symbol.
GOSH Blue Balloon with Barry M Blue Glitter for the blue Olympic Ring.
Barry M Lemon Ice Cream and Barry M Gold Glitter for the yellow Olympic Ring.



Index - Base Barry M Gold Foil to represent our gold medal in Rowing Womens Pair.
Barry M Black for the rowing symbol.
Barry M Bright Red and Red Glitter for the red Olympic Ring.
Barry M Spring Green and Green Glitter for the green Olympic Ring.


Middle - Base two coats of white.
Barry M Bright Red, GOSH Blue Balloon for the Union Jack.
Barry M Lemon Ice Cream and Gold Glitter for the yellow ring.
Barry M Black Multi Glitter for the black ring.


Ring Finger - Base two coats of White.
Barry M Gold Foil for the torch.
Missguided Misslead and Barry M Tangerine for the flame.
Barry M Spring Green, Green Glitter and Black Multi Glitter for the rings.


Pinky - Two coats of Barry M Gold Foil to represent our gold in Mens Cycling.
Barry M Black for the cycling symbol.
GOSH Blue Balloon, Barry M Blue Glitter, Spring Green and Green Glitter for the rings.


I am really happy with the way this turned out, it's not as neat as I hoped but I loved it nonetheless and was very proud to wear it!

Here is a list of links to all the other amazingly talented participants!

31 Day Nail Challenge - Day 3 - Yellow Nails

Any one seen Despicable Me?

If you have then you probably know what I am about to show you.



Yep. Minion nails!
I can't explain to you how much joy these nails have brought me, or how many times Mr GT has rolled his eyes at me when I've been caught making them dance. They are quite possibly my most favorite nails I have ever done!

The yellow I used was Barry M Lemon Ice Cream. Then I used GOSH Blue Balloon for the tips, Models Own Nail Art Pen, 17 Moonstruck and Mini Skirt for the black, silver and white details and 17 Fairy Cake for the little pink tongues.



Love 'em!
