My first Polish Days! I'm very excited to have finally joined up with this awesome idea. This months theme is MAN-icure in tribute to Movember. I instantly knew what my MAN-i would have to be, as it is something that I get teased about loving, due to its manly nature (according to my friends). One of my big loves in life is Formula 1, namely Sebastian Vettel.
The final MAN-i that you have just seen was actually attempt number two... I originally wanted the bright yellow from the nose cone of the RB8 in the water marble, but it didn't quite work as I had wanted...
I used a whole lot of polishes for this MAN-i...
a-england - 'Excalibur' & 'Camelot'
OPI - 'Red Lights Ahead... Where', 'I'm Not Really A Waitress', 'Yoga-Ta Get This Blue', 'No Room For The Blues', 'The 'It' Color'
Nicole by OPI - 'Listen To Your Momager'
Sally Hansen - 'White On'
Konad - Special White
If you have any questions about what I used where, please leave a comment and I'd be happy to tell you more :)
For the middle finger I used LeaLaC XL - B stamping plate and for my ring and pinky finger I used striping tape to get all the lines nice and straight.
I had lots of fun doing this MAN-i and it actually served as the perfect distraction to take my mind of the pain in my tummy while I was sick :)

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Mandy :)
DeleteThis is very cool- I like that you did something different on each nail.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ameerah! I had so much fun doing it :)
DeleteFlawless. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteAwesome idea! And done perfectly! I'm amazed by how you managed to do such straight and accurate lines)
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria! I just used striping tape from the Born Pretty Store for all the lines and waited AGES for everything to dry as I added bits to the F and the 1 :)
DeleteThese are fab! I've not tried water marbling yet... been on my list for a while. Love the colors you used
ReplyDeleteThanks! You should definitely try it! I've only done it twice before these two times, but it was much easier this time around with a bit more practice under my belt :) I love how you never quite know what you're going to get :)
DeleteAmazing work, I could recognize your love for Sebastian Vettel even BEFORE I've read the texts!! :D
ReplyDeleteOh thanks so much! I'm glad that it was recognizable :)
DeleteSuch a flawless job on all the nails! Go Redbull! I've always aimed to do a F1-inspired mani when the F1 comes to town, but never found the time. This is very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWow thank you so much! You should definitely do one next year ;) Singapore is one of the Grand Prix that we would LOVE to see live!!!! Definitely one of our favourites! I'm so nervous for the last 2 races!! It's so close :s One day we will make it to Singapore and we can have an F1 nails date ;)
DeleteP.s. I love your Polish Days MAN-i too <3
I will try! And funny enough, I myself have not been to the Singapore leg! I'm one of the very few oddballs. LOL! But would definitely love to! The atmosphere is amazing (if you get the right seats).
ReplyDeleteI will hold you to that, hahaha!!
PS: Thank you ;)
Oh I can just imagine that it's amazing. We might try and get to the Melbourne GP maybe year after next or something. You have no idea how much I'd love to come and visit Singapore and have a polish party with ya! There wouldn't be any holding to it needed believe me :)
