The totally doable I have a life challenge! - Pineapple pattern

Hey there guys, I hope you're doing really well. So continuing with mentioning my results, I think I did quite good, ok I'm just gonna say it. I got all A*'s and A's. It's nice knowing all the work didn't go to waste :)
So the prompt for today's design was Pineapples which I realise I have never done before, how crazy!! But yeah I went from there and I really like today's manicure.

Are we surprised? I did another cute food manicure. Will I ever get tired of these? I think not. Honestly when I first saw the prompt I didn't know what to do but remember, this is me. Quickly I went straight to the cute food thing.
I wanted to do this like a pattern with some bright colours cause once again if you know me you know I like bright colours. I think the pineapples are pretty cute and I decided to add some rings (in ode to pineapple rings) for extra colour and fun factor(?) and I really like them!!

I started the pineapples with a toothpick then got lazy and switched to the polish brush. I did those quick artsy strokes for the pineapple tops and just toothpicked the rings. Then did some glitter placement with, guess what, a toothpick.

Faster, Higher, Stronger

Hello! This is my Olympic mani, kind of late. Ahem the last day of the Olympics... :/ But I have been watching and I love the Olympics. I'm not a sports fan at all, but on the 2nd day of the Olympics I saw an event with my uncles. I was hooked, and apparently I get really intense during archery, I bet my cousin was thinking "Why won't that girl shut up". But yeah, loving it. Or loved it, since it's pretty much over now :/

It's simple but effective. This is for celebrating the Olympics, because the Olympics are something to be celebrated :D Hopefully. I had a lot of ideas e.g. putting some of the sports on my nails, but the state of white nail polish is in it wasn't going to happen. Also I didn't really feel like it. I knew I definitely wanted to use the colours of the Olympic rings. I thought of different patterns on top but polka dots is what I went with in the end. So it's super basic, but I really like it. It actually looks pretty cool. Especially when posing ;)

That's one coat of Blueberry Ice Cream in the pictures, and I was actually neat for once so I could get away with one coat. Unfortunately a different story for Rimmel Sunshine, 4 coats and really streaky, thankfully the dots covered it. The polish is quite old though. And um E-Nuff Is E-Nuff is a new polish :/ It was in a set, so I actually got 3 new polishes (but I'm going to give at least one away!!!). I can now see how nail polish collections can get rather large, when nail polish is cheap you buy!!! But I'm going to do a full manicure with E-Nuff Is E-Nuff another time, I thought it was amazing in the bottle, currently I can't really tell. I'm too distracted with all the other colours ;)
