What I've Been Wearing On My Nails (Random Manis) - Part 3

I haven't really been purchasing my new stuff recently - which is both a good thing and a bad thing.  It's good because it is really giving me a good chance to play with some of the polishes that I already own (and OMG I do have some amazing polishes in my collection that I have kinda forgotten about) and there is the added bonus of saving some money.  The big downside to not buying a lot of new stuff is that is leaves me with less things to blog about.  But never fear.  I have been wearing some more random manis that I haven't shared anywhere before so I thought I'd pop them into a post altogether.

I really can't recall when I wore this mani but I sense that it was quite some time ago.  I do love it though!  The colours are so pretty together.  For this mani I used Color Club Like A Boss, Girl Gang, I'm Outta Here, Take A Chill Pill, Get It Girl and First Class Sass.

This mani was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest.  There was no watermark so I don't know who's mani it was.  I also decided to switch it up and use neon pink instead of a pastel one.  Polishes used are Color Club Modern Pink, Emily de Molly Bright Retreat and Color Club On The List (over China Glaze I Sea Ponies).

This mani is one that I wore last week.  I was wearing China Glaze I Sea The Point and thought it would look awesome with a chevron image over it so that is exactly what I did.  Image is from Uberchic Got Chevron stamping plate.  I am still obsessed with this plate.

Now I didn't actually realize before now that I actually had another chevron mani.  This one is definitely a lot older than the previous mani and it's also a different image so I thought it was ok to have them both in the same post.  I do love chevron images!  For this mani I used Emily de Molly Pale Horse and stamped using Uberchic Got Chevron 02 stamping plate.

I really do go through phases when it comes to doing nail art.  A lot of the time I wear plain nails (mainly because I am lazy and don't want to have to do nail art on both hands) but then sometimes plain swatches just don't do it for me.  Does anyone else get like that?  Or is that just me?

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails

Occasionally I do my nails purely for me.  They aren't manis that I do for a nail art challenge, or for review purposes, they really are just manis that I do for me to wear.  Even though my original intention was for me to just wear them I am in such a habit of photographing my manis that I thought I may as well share them with you guys.  These aren't going to be in any particular order, just whatever order they are saved on my computer as.  I hope you enjoy.

Dry brush is one of those techniques that I think look so cool but then kinda forget about them.  Oops.  For this mani I used Emily de Molly Bright Retreat for my base and brushed on Color Club East Austin and Modern Pink.  I do love these colours together.

Earlier this year (and maybe going back into last year - time goes too quickly I can't keep up) I fell in love with matte bases with metallic stamping.  This is one of the manis that I wore but I didn't fall in love with it as much as I hoped I would.  I think there needs to be more of a contrast with the colours.  For my base I used China Glaze  At Your Athleisure and stamped using China Glaze Metallic Muse.  Image is from Lina Nail Art Supplies Make Your Mark 08.

This next mani must be a fairly old one because I don't really remember wearing it.  Have I mentioned I paint my nails on a very regular basis?  Manis can become a bit of a blur after a while.  For my base I used Emily de Molly Sugar Coated Memories and stamped using Powder Perfect's Black Stamping Polish.  Image is from Emily de Molly EDM38.

Now this next mani was one of those manis that I could happily wear forever!  I absolutely love it!  It will be in my favourites post at the end of the month.  My base is Emily de Molly The Dragon King (which is being released tomorrow!) and stamped using Bundle Monster (or Maniology as they are now known) BM-XL211.  I wore this both glossy and matte.  I'm not sure which mani I like better.

This next mani (and the mani after this one) will also be going into my monthly favourites.  I love everything about this mani.  The base polish really makes it look like I put in lots of effort when in fact I just painted one polish one.  The base is Emily de Molly The Uttermost and was stamped using Lina Nail Art Supples Mad For Mandalas.

This next mani is very similar to the one above but what can I say?  I am obsessed with the one above so wanted something similar on my nails again.  My base is Emily de Molly Undertones and again is stamped with Lina Nail Art Supplies Mad For Mandalas.

If you have been following me for quite some time then you will know that I love sponging on backgrounds and that I also love Pretty Serious Cosmetics Pastel Pets Collection - put them both together and you have a winning mani!  

Now this is a really old mani.  I found in randomly hiding in one of the folders on my computer.  I have absolutely no clue what I used for this mani but it's pretty so I thought I would share it anyway.

This next mani was a super fun mani to wear.  I wore it for my daughter's first day back at school this year.  I wish I took a photo of all ten of my nails.  For this mani (including the nails you can see) I used Pretty Serious Cosmetics Dollface, Poppet, Peachie Poo, Little Duckling, Bon Bon and Funny Foo-Foo.

The last mani I have to share with you today is definitely an appropriate one for this time of year (or I guess technically a little late given it was Valentine's Day last week).  My base is Sally Hansen Back To The Fuchsia, stamping polish is Hit the Bottle Drunk Tank Pink and image is from Pueen 111.

That brings me to the end of today's post.  I hope you enjoyed these random manis that I have done.  It's nice to be able to share them.  I think I will be doing more of these types of manis.  It gives me a chance to use some of my older things.

Random Manis

I have a bit of a different post for you today.  Randomly I do manis that I don't share on any platforms - I even do some that I don't even take photos of.  There is no reason for either of these things but I thought why not share them now?  Now most of these manis are once that I actually wore in 2017 and to be honest some of them I don't recall what polishes I used.  Sorry.  I will my best to provide details of what I used.

For this mani I used the entire OPI Retro Summer Collection.  I love this collection.

This mani is done using a bunch of Dance Legend neon polishes.

Last year I went through a bit of a matte phase.  I remember wearing this mani for a couple of days.  Loved it then and still love it now.  Polish is Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue (the original formula).

I told you I had a bit of a matte phase last year.  I can't remember exactly what red polish I used but I really liked wearing it matte.

You can never go wrong with glitter accent nails.  They just give a little sparkle to a simple mani.  Polishes used are both from OPI.  I can't remember what the creme is but the glitter is Mad As A Hatter.

 

Polishes used for this mani are Emily de Molly Eyes Only and Animated Hearts.

That's all of the random manis that I have sitting on my computer at the moment.  Let me know what you think about seeing posts like today's?  I can make note of what polishes etc I have used next time.
