Polish days ‘Back To Nature’

Polish Days 'Back To Nature' Swatch

Polish Days Back To Nature

The snow has melted and though I miss jumping into crunching untouched lawns it is nice to see the daffodils coming out. I may also have expressed my love for ladybirds, so this seemed like a great opportunity to try fimo decals for the first time.

Polish Days Back To Nature

I used the new China Glaze ‘Budding Romance’ from the Avant Garden collection for a base, and stamped with the Nailways Snow White Weather Forecast plate using nails inc ‘Sumner Place’. Topp with a matte top coat and finish with an oh-so-cute ladybird and while it wasn’t quite the end result I was aiming for I’m quite pleased. I love the ugly green base, it’s that kind of ugly that’s awesome rather than being truly hideous. To be honest though, as much as I love the ladybird, it’s a pain in the bum to wear for any length of time, and forget dish washing!

    I also love (f)ugly colours but I wouldn’t consider this one as one of those!
    I do love the manicure, the final result and the mattified look! I had never heard of those stamping plates, where do they come from?

    I love this green! I’m always reluctant to use decals, but yours looks great. And that flower is gorgeous! :]

    This is the first time that I’ve seen Budding Romance and actually liked it. Your ladybug is precious too.

    I love the base colour you used too! I am quite partial to the “ugly” colours, especially this sort of green. Also loving that you made it matte. It works perfectly matte :)

    I was sad that I wasn’t able to participate this month but wanted to tell you that I thought your design was lovely and I think the matte look compliments it all very nicely!
