Good afternoon lovelies, I'm still here!
I was busy with some heart murmur investigations last week and have spent the last few days in my sick bed with a migraine but I'm still here, still working and I have painted my nails at last! What a nice prompt to be coming back with too, perfect for this summery weather of late... I plumped for a lilac base with white spots and as I'm not feeling my best, decided to use Born Pretty Store water transfers for the roses. If you're thinking of placing a BPS order you can use my 10% discount code: R2X31 at the checkout :)
Do excuse the dry cuticles on my thumb and forefinger, they've been busy unpacking stationary orders lol!... I used two coats of the lilac for the base and topped it off with a simple white dotticure. While that was drying I trimmed up my transfers and popped into the water for two or three minutes. I slipped the transfers off of the paper and placed on the nails using a pair of tweezers, patting down and drying with a clean cotton pad before finishing with a topcoat.
Pretties! You just can't beat decent water transfers for pretty detail in a hurry.
You'll be ok with the quality of almost all of the ones from BPS (I
have had the odd dodgy batch but they are always happy to replace) and I
can highly recommend those from She Sells Sea Shells in the UK.

This mani is very 'English Garden' and I love it and talking of gardens, I
am lucky enough to have a mummy fox using my patch of wilderness as a nursery for her two
cubs at the moment :) I'll be sharing some snaps of them and some foxy
nail art to go with come the end of the week!
