BFF Challenge: Cath Kidston
So today's nail art is based on Cath Kidston. Cath Kidston is known for her nostalgic floral prints, so of course I had to recreate one!
These are the nails I did:
I used Sation Board Girl Blue as the base, followed by Barry M Bright Pink for the base of the flowers, and then Essie Ole Caliente for the flower detail, and A green Sally Hansen that doesn't have a label that I got at the Dollar Tree. Ignore my shiny cuticles, I applied a different cuticle oil that I don't normally use before I took photos.
This is what I was going for!
I think it turned out well! What do you think?

Day 2: Chelcea Flower Show
I decided to participate in the Summer Challenge in the Purple Crumpet Challenge, which lasts all summer. I don't know if I will be able to participate every single day, but I am going to try my hardest to do them all.
Ok, I had my day 1 mani, and right after I painted it I had to use my hands, and it got ruined, so thats why I am starting with day 2. :P
Day 2 is the Chelcea Flower Show. The colors used in this mani are Essie Ole Caliente, Color Club Pucci-licious, Lippmann Almost Paradise, and Wet N Wild Black Creme.

Neon Swatch Wheel!
So if you have been following me on instagram(I'm Caitlinspolish if you want to follow me. :)), you got a sneak peek of this awesome swatch wheel I have been working on the past two days. You can kind of see my train of thought for the wheel with my photos leading up to it. lol.
Lets start with the inspiration post. I had on some neon shorts from the walk my mom and I did yesterday morning, and my sister had some highlighters and pencils in the door of the car, and I snapped a picture and posted it...
Then the instagram post of my haul from Sally's and Walgreens that day. I bought my first swatch wheels for nail art at Sallys and I got the 3 neon Sinful Colors from Walgreens. I am really loving these neons, and for $2 you can't beat them, they were opaque in 2 coats.
Now onto the swatch wheel. I absolutely <3 this swatch wheel. I used the 3 neon Sinful Colors Neon Melon, Summer Peach, and Pink. I also used Acrylic paint, and some Wet N Wild Black Creme for the ones that I used striping tape on.
All of them are freehand. I am pretty proud of these, I have to say.
The names of the colors are Neon Melon, Summer Peach, and Pink, and they were all from the Sinful Colors Display. I managed to snap a picture of the display before I left, in case you are curious.
I am pretty proud of these. <3 What do you think?

Cherry Blossoms
I was sitting in my little polish area painting my nails with the Color Club polishes I found at Burlington Coat Factory(the Color Club Blossoming set!) and I really wanted to do some cherry blossoms. the colors just screamed cherry blossoms to me. lol So here they are!
The base is Color Club Hydrangea Kiss, from the blossoming collection, the brown is China Glaze Mahogany Magic, the pink is Color Club Sugar Sheer, and the black accents are acrylic paint. I used one of my nail art brushes for the stems and dotting tools for the flowers.
