Golden Oldie Thursday - Yellow / Peach

Golden Oldie Thursday - Yellow / Peach

A short post today, I have a lot going on at the moment and sadly this means that Linziino is being dropping down a few places in the list of my priorities. I don't want to stop but I am finding it hard to post regularly and on time!

For the base I've used Model Own, Snow White. Perfect as always. Once fully dried I applied two pieces of striping tape and used MO, Luis Lemon and MO, Golden Peach.

Golden Oldie Thursday - Ruffle Mani


It's only a week late, Shhhh don't tell anyone. here is my Golden Oldie Thursday - Ruffle Mani. I've had a few breakages recently so I've had to file and shorten my nails down. They feel so tiny but I'm warming towards the more rounder shape.

I've used my old faithful Model Own, Snow White for the base. I like blank white nails and I love a detailed accent nail. This is the third time I've done a ruffle design. The first two attempt where massive fails they didn't even get to the photo stage they where that bad! Third time is the charm.

The Blue is Sally Hansen, Navy Baby. Its stunning and has a little shimmer which makes is so much more than just a deep navy. Plus the bottle is square and looks fab.

Golden Oldie Thursday (on a Sunday) - Purple

It Sunday afternoon the sun is out, the weather is lovely, the windows and doors are all open so when do you think I'm doing with my time? Catching up on last weeks nail challenge!

I've used No7 Stay Perfect, Snowflake for the white base. I wanted a solid smooth base so applied three coats. This little bottle from No7 has done well over the years but its defiantly near the end of its life :(

I opted for the cling-film / saran-wrap technique as I wanted them to keep the nails light and I think they look perfect for the spring time.  I used Model Own Purple Imperial and then quickly dabbed over the wet nails with scrunched up cling-film and did a quick tidy up.

I don't have the patience to do a decent clean up, next time I promise I'll try hard. please don't judge.

Golden Oldie Thursday - Skittle

Todays prompt is Skittle. As the weather is brightening up and Spring is within touching distance I wanted/needed to add some colour to my nails.

I've used Model Own, Lemon Meringue. MO Pastel Pink. MO Jade Stone. MO Lilac Dream. MO Beth's Blue. Added my favourite polish of the moment, Rimmel Matte Finish. Once completely dry, after 30 minuets of waiting I added a strip of tape across each nail and used Rimmel Finishing Touch, Ultra Shine topcoat.
