Just because tulips have met....

China Glaze


Today's Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge was tulips.  Again I have to apologize for the state of the picture because I keep forgetting to bring my camera to class and then on the one day I DID remember I somehow forgot the memory card.  Seventy hour weeks will do that to your brain!!  But I'm surprised how well I've been keeping up with the challenges despite my camera issues.  :)  I just managed to get the entire China Glaze Magnetix and Hunger Games collections and I'm thinking of swatching them for you guys soon.  My swatches aren't the greatest so I'd love feedback from you guys as to if it's something you'd be interested in seeing here. :)  I will be swatching some of them anyway though alongside some polishes I have which are similar to them.  I also am going through my collection slowly but surely and trying to shave my growing 600 + collection down into something more manageable.  So watch my blog sale page closely! :)  Anyway back to the nails.  I used Catrice Am I Blue or Am I Green for the base, OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI? for the tulip and Zoya Pippa and Hard Candy The End for the stamen.  Enjoy and thanks for following along!!

Today's Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge is your favorite Spring purple or peach.  I'm going to start by apologizing for the terrible state of my cuticle. Two sets of wraps and acrylics plus numerous other procedures in nail school have made a total mess of them.  :/  Even Photoshop can't help this hot mess.  BUT...I'm still trying to keep up with the challenges.  I used my new OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI for the base on this one and then topped it with some China Glaze Sweet Hook and then topped that with Barry M Silver Foil.  I love this cloud-like effect and was excited to try it out although I think it could use some tweaking before I do it again.  I struggled a bit with the color choices and the Barry M was a little streaky.  But it still came out rather nice!! I hope you all enjoy and I promise I'm giving my cuticles some EXTRA love for the next pics!! :)

Yesterday's challenge for the Purple Crumpet Fairy was to do a blossom tree.  First I thought I wanted to do Japanese cherry blossoms.  I love cherry blossoms and they always look so pretty on a nice, muted blue green background.  But I've already done cherry blossoms twice now...a bit better the second time I think!  So I didn't want to do that again. And I wanted to go in a little bit different of a different direction with the color and shape of the flowers.  So here are my first lily-like flowers. Obviously they need a bit of tweaking but I think they came out rather nicely under the circumstances!!  I apologize for the horrendous quality of this picture.  I really need to try to remember to bring my camera to school with me!!  I hope you all enjoy and thanks for following!! :)
