A Pond Manicure: BCD Nail Art Challenge (Day 8)

Well a pond manicure is not really this but a specific technique but I'm taking today's challenge literally and replicating the colours and bits of what are actually within ponds for my nail art version. 


I'm using a dark green base colour by Sacha Cosmetics called Knock Out Punch. I used two coats for an opaque base. 
Using a sponge I applied other green shades of polish like NYC Tudor City Teal (green teal), China Glaze Def Defying (yellow green) and Nabi Dark Green. I sponged on these colours on random spots of each nail. 
Using a dark green stripped polish I drew a few long leaves and then stuck on some dried flowers for a soft touch. All sealed in with a top coat :)

In addition, you don’t have to wait 6 months before recently launched items from NYX cosmetics are available. These people have it down when it comes to ensuring all the new and existing items are there for you! Everything I asked for was available to me to buy! And Yes I got some goodies! How could I not? I have been in a blush craze lately so why not try my first blush from NYX, Desert Rose. The new xtreme lip creams were available so I…

Hot Milk Sponge Cake with Fresh Fruit & Coconut

In today's yummy post we are doing an easy sponge cake (no creaming of butter and sugar involved). Instead of torting this cake we are using two loaf pans to give us our two layers, which we will pull together with vanilla buttercream. I love the rectangular look of this cake rather than the traditional round or square but more importantly the flavors of the toasted coconut on the sides and fresh fruit on top makes for a mouth watering dessert.
