Ferrero Rocher

I love these nails.  I don't even care if I'm blowing my own trumpet - they are epic.

My boyfriend bought me one of the cone-shaped Ferrero Rocher things for Christmas.  I don't know how many were in it, and I'm glad, because if I did know I probably wouldn't be feeling too good about myself right now lol.  Anyhoo, as I was stuffing another chocolate in my mouth yesterday, I was struck by an idea - a Ferrero Rocher manicure!

I used OPI Over The Taupe for all the brown bits, and Barry M Gold Foil for the lines.  I should've used tape for my lines really, but it's such a faff...

I used some of the gold foil I received from Born Pretty Store for the ring finger accent, with a coat of matte top coat over it.  I wonder if anyone can tell what I used for my thumb...?

And here's a closer look at the accent nails!

My Favourite Things: Favourite Food

I'm a little late with this one!  This is the fourth instalment in the My Favourite Things challenge hosted by Kelly over at Ooh La La Polish!

Once again I struggled.  I considered something chocolatey.  Then I decided on something Mexican.  I was originally going to do a fajita, but I couldn't figure out how to make to chicken strips look realistic...  So anyhoo, I settled on a Mexican-inspired manicure, and pinched this idea from Nicole at The Color Republic.

So here you go, my favourite food inspired manicure.

I used all Barry M polishes here - Spring Green, Bright Red, Lemon Ice Cream and Matt White. I should've used an extra coat of the red and green, I can only apologise for the VNL.  Yuck.  But the chillis are cute at least :)

Next up in the challenge (and I will actually post this one on time!) is polka dots!
