Green Christmas Nail Art

Another catch-up Post - December 2016

I did these nails way back in December last year.  Festive green nails with some nail water decal transfer stickers.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Christmas Preparations

5th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

The challenge this week is Christmas Preparations.

I think of wrapping presents while it snows outside (not that it snows an awful lot here in the UK at this time of year).  But that is my theme for this challenge.

I used one coat of OPI and then on top a coat of the Color Club glitter.  For the ring finger I painted on a bow for the present and used the Milani glitter on the white.  For the index finger I used snowflake decals and voila...

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

This week the prompt is Pink and Aqua and my personal pattern prompt - Ikat

I have only done this pattern once and then it was a very trial and error attempt (see here).

But I am quite happy with how these turned out first time, so without further a do....

SIMPLES - Week 2 - Skittle

SIMPLES: Nail Art from Muggle to Mastery - Week 2 is Skittle week.

I have been reviewing and had to use my cinderella hand for this manicure.

A skittle manicure is when you paint all your nails differently, whether it is pattern and colour combo or just colour combo it is a free for all so long as all the nails are different.  Here I went simple and went for colour - I used the colours of the rainbow.

Items used:
Rimmel - Double Decker Red
Pride of London - 343 (orange)
Sally Hansen - Buttercup
Color Club - Twiggie
Kiko - 386 Light Pastel Blue
Acrylic Paint - Black

Purple Gradient with Decal Roses

I was at my Cousin's wedding at the weekend.  The colour theme for us was royal purple/and or gold.  I did nails to match my outfit.

I did a gradient and added some nail decals I got a while back from AliExpress. For the darker shade of purple on the tips I sponged on China Glaze Let's Groove to start with, but it did not match up with the outfit.  So for the second coat I switched to CG Stella and it was perfect. The gradient was done on a base of Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud.

Items Used:

OPI Nail Envy
Sally Hansen - Lavender Cloud
Color Club - Fashion Addict
China Glaze -Senorita Bonita, Let's Groove, Stella
Etude House - Purple Glitter

We are celebrating World Week at school this week.  Each class gets a different country, in Reception we have India.  It has been fab.  We have made flags, tasted poppadoms, danced, listened to music, made holi patterns, played instruments etc.

GOT Polish Challenge - Week 3 - Blue Dainty French

It is week 3 and the theme is Blue in the (Golden Oldie Thursday) GOT Polish challenge over at Crumpet's Nail Tarts.
I have had to cut and file back my nails as they were breaking left right and centre.  I also re-shaped them. So what better than to do this dainty little french manicure.  I have had the blue in my stash for yonks and I absolutely love it.

A rare picture of my right hand!

Feather Nail Art

Mid year I got myself some feathers.  I had been looking to do this manicure for ages.  Finally in September I got round to it!  For the main manicure I used the beautiful Nothing but Truffle by Color Club, two coats here and doesn't it look stunning?  For the ring accent nail I used a feather to compliment NBT.  I loved having this on and wore it a whole week!

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 11 - Polka Dots

Day 11 (week 11) of the ER31DC - Polks Dots
Again this was done a few days before the "chop"  I really liked how this turned out, I wore it for almost 3 whole days!  Would have worn it for a lot longer but I had to cut my nails down. I didn't realise until I put on the NI polish, that it was a jelly!  A nice surprise.
