What nails are you sporting today?

[cheeka]

I loved the babyboomers on Instagram that colourshack shared. I have lots of their pigments but are these different?

Thanks Ciderella

Yeah, these pigments are different - Babbs sent me some of her other pinks to test while I was swatching (can't remember the names but I can check if you want), and they were too vivid/opaque to blend nicely into the white, and didn't give the transition I wanted. The colours in the babyboomer set have got a lovely sheer transparency, so they look really subtle, and the white doesn't have any shimmer so makes for a beautiful tip. The pink and nude are both great natural shades for the classic babyboomer look, but I'll admit to being more taken with the lilac and the green than I expected to be...

Oh are you a professional swatcher? [emoji119]
I'm sooo impressed! I wanting babyboomers with gel polish but I've never been happy with any attempts I've made so far

Lol, I wish I was a professional swatcher! Dreeeeam job

I'm still pinching myself that it happened to be honest - I asked about pigments for babyboomers, and before I knew it, I had samples and was giving feedback and then this set happened!

To give the most honest appraisal I can, I only really use gel polish and this is the only way I've come up with babyboomers that I've been happy to put on my own nails... 'nuff said x

Thank you! I went with Mr Cheeka a couple of years ago, and this time we're going with my sister and her other half in tow. We're going to be tearing up the place like 4 big kids lol I know it's a few months away for you, but here's wishing you a fab time anyway!

If I've got one bit of advice - you can never start practising too early for holiday nails! It was only about 2 days ago that I actually decided what I was doing, so was getting a bit panicked! (I owe a big thanks to @Bronstar for some great inspiration, otherwise I'd probably still be dallying now!) I'd actually ordered some Disney plates from Loja BBF that I was sure I'd use somehow, but ended up free-handing everything instead... Needless to say, it took a while, but they did raise a few smiles while I was out today, so the time spent was worth it

Sounds like you'll have an amazing time! I went for my honeymoon 5 years ago! This time we're going with the 2 new additions to our family, our girls, they'll be 4 and 2 years old when we go!

Thanks for the advice! I'll probably go down the stamping route, I'm no good at free hand especially on myself!

Yours look amazing though [emoji1] can see how they have raised some smiles! Have a fab time, so jealous....I've got to be patient lol

Thank you I bet your girls will love it - it's fun for the young-at-heart, but must be truly magical for little ones

I've just had a major panic... I've barely had my toes out all summer so somehow managed to completely forget that they are also a thing that needs prettifying I feel so daft Packing is just about done, so time to grab a quick bite to eat then it's up to my nail room to break speed records for applying a neon coral

So there's another tip I guess... don't forget your feet exist lol

Did these earlier, absolutely love them! [emoji5]️

My 1st attempt on diy decals after receiving my uberchic mat

 

[Sara-Jane]

Just been experimenting with acrylic baby boomers, striping tape, glitter, encapsulated in hard gel, a whole heap going on, but I love how designs look encapsulated in the hard gel rather than acrylic x

Finally got my Autumn nails on!
