33dc day 25? New technique

Yea sorry I may have entirely lost track of everything! I think it's day 25 anyway.
And there are many many techniques I've not attempted... In fact probably more than I have attempted lol. But several of them in a little daunted by atm hence why I have attempted them! I'm getting more confident but one thing at a time, I'll be leaving water marbling and rainbow gradients and the like for another day. I did consider sugar spun cos it looks fun but I kinda didn't have the energy for all the mess!
So I went for flocking. Inspired largely by the pot of flocking powder I came home to in my taras talons order. I kinda didn't do anything interesting just played around with different shapes to see how it worked lol. It did look better honest but I did it last night and forgot to take a pic so this was after I finished work today so a little bedraggled lol. Except the thumb that was a mess from the start.
I enjoyed the flocking powder more than I expected actually...I really only ordered it in a whim to play around with (and the reasonable prices mean I can do that without too much guilt lol). It was a lot less... bumpy than I'd anticipated and applied easily enough with shockingly little mess considering it was me doing it. Definitely one up from the whole ordeal of caviar nails lol.
Ho hum. I should definitely try more techniques, so maybe I'll make a concerted effort to try a new one each week... Or maybe just once a fortnight! Haha. Also when I get five minutes I hope to get a chance to organise/revamp this blog cos I pretty much just threw it together when I decided randomly to blog lol. More cohesion is needed. And better planned posting. I just need to actually find the time to sit down and sort it out!
So that was a tangent lol. Here are the nails. X

honey, I'm hoooome!

Woop! Back from a brilliant three weeks away....gotta return to reality now boo hoo :(. Back to work tomorrow, in about six hours in fact so this will be brief! I'll do some proper holiday posts at some point though, I took pictures and everything (that's huge for me Haha).
What's coming up this week? Three more 33dc posts... plus I hope to sneak in one of the ones I missed while I was away Hehe. That fact box I never did on ocd (sorry about that!). A holiday post naturally. Maybe even a bellringing post if you can all put up with the tedium cos it's our annual branch meeting next weekend. Oh and I have some polishes to swatch. Plus a treatment review on Tuesday to decide the best way to become less crazy so depending how it goes I may post about that.
That's definitely more than a weeks with of posts Haha oops! Oh well ttys.x
Ps. Token shot of me in Mexico :p.

33dc day 24 most owned colour

Purple. Always purple. I love it and I can't resist it. Especially in polish. I have way too many purples many of which are objectively quite similar but I don't care I just love it Haha. Leafy frondy ferny pattern, just because. Actually the pattern was drawn in silver for some reason I don't understand it went purple when I top coated. Something to do with refraction, light bending, physics I don't understand? Who knows. Still more purple is never a bad thing. Did I mention I'm obsessed?! X

33dc day 22 3 colour gradient and pattern

11/11? It has to be poppies. Every year the parade down the high street with the guides, the cadets and the Legion leading the way, a piper right at the front. One of the few times I actually attend a Church service. I'm missing it this year of course, I should be in New York right now. Still I think remembrance day is important so I figured I'd commemorate it on the blog.
Hence the poppies. The three colour gradient is subtler than I intended with a beige (closest I have to military khaki colours), silver and gold. I'm not good at gradients but I like them so I'll keep practising. X

A few random memes **trigger warning**

Yea some of these may be sh or ed related so beware.... Does anyone actually listen to trigger warnings? My ill-brain always pups up with 'ooo this will be interesting better read'! Anyway. Even the ones that aren't triggering will probably be inappropriate cos I have a horrible sense of humour so I'd be careful reading this anyway. I'm not convinced I should be posting it actually but um I am. I'd anyone is offended I'll take it down. X

33dc day 20 pattern from your wardrobe

Oh I chickened out. I have allsorts of pretty patterns in my wardrobe but I went for basic white on black polka dots. I did add a little red bow to reflect the red belt on the dress though. It's one of my favourite dresses actually :). A cheapy from ibternacionale or somewhere but it gets worn all the time. What else can I say? Not a lot I don't think. X

33dc day 19... Or not!

Oof this is the first of the challenge days I've missed. The other two are Europe and geometric. Today should be tutorial. I'm not actually sure if that means following one or writing one. Hopefully the former cos I'm not accomplished enough for the latter :p. I willdo this when I get back from holiday... tbf Ive used a lot of tutorials as I try to navigate the world of nail art. It's all very new to me! But I love playing and I love the transient nature of it... it's not like playing with your hair which takes forever to change back. Or playing with your style which requires a lot of expenditure... Well ok has involved a lot of expenditure but only cos I have no self control :p. There is no actual point to this post btw! Just filing space lol. X

33dc day 18 two patterns

So November 1st is all saints day. That's about as far as my knowledge of the day goes I'm afraid. I do however know how to ring the method called 'all saints'... and one of the churches I ring at is nominated as all saints too.
So pattern one is bells. They don't look much like bells though lol.
And pattern two is the blue line for all saints. By Blue line I mean the pattern we follow that tells us when to ring in order to get a particular method (our versions of tunes). X
