Aussie nails Monday- flowers

Hi there everyone! Today is the last day for Aussie nails week and I thought I would incorporate the 2 challenges into one again. The theme is flowers, and what better way to finish off Aussie week than with some native flowers. 

So decided to hand paint some wattle as this was my poppy's(grandfather not daughter) flower,

A waratah as this is one of my fav flowers (plus I walked down the aisle holding them) 

A loooong time ago in 2000

and finally some gum blossom as it reminds me of snugglepot and cuddle pie from my childhood

And lastly I wanted to paint a little joey so I did then too for good measure!!!!

Here is my mani. I used Zoya Envy as my base then hand-painted the images with acrylic paint and popped a top coat on.

I really love this mani!!!!

Until next time......

Tri polish tuesday - 21st Jan

So as you might of guessed from yesterday post this week is Australia day week, and a bunch of us Aussie bloggers are doing nails to share our love for Australia. I really wanted to make sure I did all my challenges this week even tho we are doing Aussie manis. so today for Tri polish Tuesday, i have used red and yellow of the 3 colours to create my mani today.

A huge Aussie staple is Vegemite!!! When i lived in the UK for 6 years i had to get my mum to send me tubes of it to me regularly as i love it on toast, plus it is great to pop into gravy etc. Marmite is just not the same :(

When I was a kid they played a jingle for Vegemite on the TV, i still sing it today sometimes when I get the Vegemite out! It funny how you remember these things!

I decided to use Ulta3 Honolulu and chocolate cake to create the mani, and then I printed in white decal paper the little red Vegemite symbols.

I think the mani turned out quite well!!!!
