40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Autumn - Saran Wrap

The penultimate manicure for this challenge!

Week 51 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

One  more weeks to go ......

Challenge this week is Autumn.

I did a saran wrap manicure with autumn colours.

I did a base of Elf Mango Madness to start with and then on top of that I added a coat of CG Fire love.  When this was dry, I painted on a coat of SH Haute Chocolate and with a rolled up piece of saran wrap, sponged off some of the colour to bring out the orange base.  On some nails this method took off too much top colour, so I went back and added the brown on the saran wrap and sponged it back on ... and voila.

Simple but effective.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Red, Yellow and Green - Negative Space

Week 50 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

Two  more weeks to go ......

Challenge this week is Red, Yellow and Green and my personal pattern prompt - Negative Space.

What more can I say... well the red and yellow stripes could have been neater, but overall really pleased.

The orange stain on my finger is fading mehndi (henna) that my daughter did on me.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Books

Week 49 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

Three  more weeks to go ......

Challenge this week is Books.

I used to read a lot, but haven't read anything for a while.  The last book I completed was the BFG and this was reading to my son at bedtime about one to two years ago.  We started Danny, the Champion of the World, but never finished it.

Anyway, I was stuck for inspiration, so I opened up Amazon, the page loaded and the first thing I saw was the book I've taken inspiration from.  I just like the colours and the flowers.  I thought I would be able to capture this image quite easily.  Overall I am really pleased how this manicure turned out (unlike last week!).

I did the nail art using the pink PIA lacquer and white and green acrylic paint.  I also used Orly Dazzle on my pinkie.

So without further a do...

Inspired by this book cover.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Peach or Lemon - Needle Drag

Week 48 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

Four  more weeks to go ......

Challenge for everyone is Peach or Lemon - my personal pattern prompt is needle drag.

I am running late as usual, so this was done in a hurry.  It didn't quite turn out how I planned but I did not have time to do it again.

Anyway here is my Peach and Lemon with two accent nails with the needle drag prompt.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Inspiration & Ladyqueen Decal Review

Week 47 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

Five  more weeks to go ......

This week I am running really late with this prompt,  I should have posted it last Friday!

Anyway I am killing two birds in the same post: 40GNAI's prompt Inspiration and a review of some decals I was sent by Ladyqueen.

Firstly my inspiration for this prompt is taken from my garden.  As I look out of my kitchen window, at the bottom of my garden I have planted up many tubs and containers full of flowers galore.  (I will do a post about my garden haul later I think).

I was going to hand paint flowers but these decals looked like some of the colours in my containers, so I used them.  They are from Ladyqueen and were sent to me for a review.  I did a review of another set from them here.  I love the colours on these particular ones, so bright and vibrant.  They are amazing for a quick, easy nail art.  With this particular sheet you have many many manicures with loads of colour option.

The decals here are a set of 12 on one big sheet (found here), they cost just $3.98 US dollars or £2.56 and free shipping.

I love the overall outcome, although in hindsight I wish for the decal nails I had used a white base, instead I used a pale yellow.

Twelve different floral prints for many many manicures.  So what are you waiting for? You can get these decals and many other Nail Art items from the store here, and whats more you can use my discount code RWLC15 for 15% off your order.

*These were sent to me for an honest review*
