My Ten Friends: Carbon Based Life Form

I picked up My Ten Friends Carbon based Life Form in a sale somewhere and then didn't wear it for a while until I saw it this weekend and decided to try it out on top of Orly Country Club Khaki. This is two coats and the awesome blue reflection you can see is due to spectacular amounts of blue shimmer int his polish.

I like how holo all of the glitters in this polish are- it really sparkles, but the big hexagons were reluctant to come out and frankly I think it looks better without them.

I would wear this polish to an event where I needed less flashy nails but still wanted some glitter and I would carefully apply it to avoid the large glitter pieces entirely.

Daisy chain nails

I really wanted to do a simple, sweet manicure as spring has officially arrived in the UK. I am not the biggest fan of pastels (which seem almost mandatory in spring) so I decided to do a nude style with some daisy chains so that when I look at my hand I'm reminded of hours spent making daisy chains as a child. I did these freehand and was really pleased with them :). I am also entering this into The Crumpet's April Amateur nail art contest for which the theme is flowers.
