The Nail Challenge Collaborative - May 2016: Spring Fashion

*purchased by me*

Hey there! Today I have my fourth post for May's The Nail Challenge Collaborative Spring Fashion theme.  I know we're two weeks into June, but I'm happy I actually got all four looks done this month.  My final look is inspired by the skirt above from China Fashion Association.

To create this look I started with two coats of Zoya Carey which is a light grey creme. This is my favorite grey creme, and I use it often.  It can be a little streaky on the first coat, but levels off nicely on the second coat.  

I stamped the floral look using Rica Gunmetal which is a beautiful gunmetal grey metallic that stamps wonderfully!  It actually has a tiny shimmer to it as well which is a light blue.  It's super pretty! 

I used MoYou London Pro XL plate 24 to create the floral design.  I received this plate in a weekly stamping box that MoYou London has started offering. It's got some great designs on it so I'm happy I was able to get it. The box included two plates and 5 stamping polishes.  I can't wait till I have time to play around with it. 

I really love this look. It's not exact to the fabric above, but it's close so I'm happy. I would definitely wear something like this to work or an event because it's really simple, but elegant. 

I had a lot of fun with May's spring fashion theme.  Which was your favorite of my looks? I love this one, but the plaid was a lot of fun.

Red Coat Tuesday Featuring A England Briar Rose and Fated Prince

*purchased by me*

Hey there! Time for another Red Coat Tuesday and a new Pretty Little Liars episode.  Yay!  Sadly, I broke the nail on my index finger over the weekend so as you can see I'm back to nubbins. 

I usually wear brighter reds for Red Coat Tuesday so this week I decided to go with a different shade of red. I used A England Briar Rose/Sleeping Beauty with an accent of A England Fated Prince. I used two coats of each polish, and I added some loose heart glitters that I got from KBShimmer on my accent nail.  I finished up the mani with KBShimmer Clearly On Top.  

Briar Rose is a really pretty cranberry/scarlet scattered holographic. Sleeping Beauty is one of my all time favorite stories so I was really excited when A England came out with the Burnes-Jones Dream collection.  Fated Prince is a really cool color. It's a grey scattered holo with olive green undertones. I'm gonna have to wear it again soon without the heart glitters over it so I can really appreciate it's beauty. I placed an order with KBShimmer last week, and she included these cute hearts in my order.  I thought they would look cute with this mani so decided to try them out.      

The formula on these polishes was great, and I really love the subtle holo. I could have gotten away with one coat of Briar Rose, but definitely needed two coats of Fated Prince.  I'm still not sure how I feel about the heart glitters.  I wish they would lay flat on my nail. 

Sorry this post wasn't really about Pretty Little Liars.  What do you think will happy on tonight's episode?  What are your thoughts on this season so far?
