Up Above The Streets and Houses...

Inspired by this image from a quick Google search:-

Found here

And these images from this colourful lady:-




I thought I'd do my own version of Rainbow nails:-


Whaddya think?  A much less professional photograph and finish come to that but I was very happy with them all the same.  I couldn't stop looking at my hands all day! 

I did however try to stick to the correct spectrum of colours


And these were some of the polishes used 


Since then I've been obsessed with having colourful hands and have been constantly sporting different variations on the same theme



My obsession has become such that I felt compelled to splash out on a handful of new Barry M nail paints to extend my colour palette!

Here are some rainbow themed images from my Google search that made me smile:-

I love you Zippy!

Paint the whole world with a....... rainbow :)

Here's to rainbows.  One of the most beautiful manifestations of bad weather .

Wishing you all a colourful and happy weekend

    I used to love Rainbow! No wonder I grew up loving Psychedelia! And I blame Count Duckula for my goth side

    I love your nail colours, gorgeous

      Its called Peach Melba and the coverage is really good. I'd say it takes 2 coats, 3 max xx

    Love, love, love those nails! That's the one thing I sadly neglect but am always compelled to get more experimental with. Anything rainbow draws me in - so now I want to run to the local drugstore and pick up an array of nail polish colors and get to it! Rainbow Brite <3 - I just found my old Rainbow Brite doll a couple of weeks ago:) xx

    Love your rainbow nails and that fabulous pink hair, too. Rainbow nails don't seem to sir right on me, I think they detract from the ludicrous amount of jewellery I wear. xxx
    PS Thanks for the Goofbay reminder, I used to use it religiously until I forgot my password, must reset it and spend longer in bed.

    Oh this pot makes me to happy! I love rainbow stuff too and I love your nails! There's no way I'd have the patience to do this so I am living vicariously through you! By the way, where's the bird dress from?! Pretty pretty!

    The nails look fabulous! I'm such a boring old so-and-so, I usually do mine all the same colour, but my girls have no such inhibitions and like theirs all different colours! xxx

    Oh my oh my OH MY! You know? This is so inspirational too 'cause I've been bitting my nails since I was a little girl and now, finally... I let the grow! And you gave me a lovely idea for painting them now, yaw!! Thank you!
