40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Orange - Mosaic/Stained Glass Skittlette

Week 46 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

Six more weeks to go ......

This week the prompt is Orange and my personal prompt - Mosaic/Stained Glass .

I went for the Mosaic.  I painted 3 different colour oranges onto a plastic sheet, when dry, I cut out tiny random shapes.

I painted on the Kiko base colour once, let it dry, applied a second coat and while still wet, placed randomly the cut out polish pieces.  A top coat of SV and voila.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Things in Water

Week 45 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

Seven more weeks to go ......

This week the prompt is Things in Water.  I don't own many stamps and so was a little stuck on what to do for this prompt.  But the manicure I have done is inspired by lots of nail artists out there who have done similar, so thank you all.

So on to the manicure, I did a blue gradient then applies a couple of nail water decals followed by a dip in water for some water spotting. The end result .......

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Yellow and Silver - Mermaid Scales

Week 44 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

Eight more weeks to go......

This week the prompt is Yellow and White and my personal pattern prompt of mermaid scales.

I have seen many many manicures of this pattern, but they are all done using vinyl stickers/stencils or stamping plates.

I own neither of these and so did my own interpretation.  Not brilliant or good but it is what I came up with.  I used some sticky back plastic and cut out my own tape with a scallop scissor.

In hindsight I wish I had just done a sort of gradient and then hand painted the scales, but hey ho, a lesson learnt.
