Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 19 - Galaxy

Day 19 (week 19) of the ER31DC - Galaxy.
I have never attempted a Galaxy manicure, this is a first.  I wasn't sure if I would be able to pull it off.  I studied several tutorials and they all looked so easy.  I chose all my colours and off I set and actually once I started it was quite easy and I am very pleased with the final effect.  My favourite nails has to be the ring finger.

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 18 - Half Moon

Day 18 (week 18) of the ER31DC - Half Moon.

I am a few weeks behind in this challenge.  I have had this one and week 18 ready for ages, but just not had the time to post.  I hope to catch up in the next few weeks.
I did the half moons different sizes and I think the effect was quite good.  This is the first time of me using the Invogue feather effect polish purchased from Fragrance Direct.  I did this manicure late at night and in hindsight I think it could have done with another coat, but overall I was still pleased with the result.

Items used:
OPI Nail Envy
Seche Vite Top Coat
Invogue Feather Effect Nail Polish - Jaye Bird
Blue Glitter Striper Pen

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 17 - Glitter

Day 17 (week 17) of the ER31DC - Glitter.  Today's challenge is Glitter, and this is my manicure.  A lovely soft pink with a hint of pink glitter under the silver.  Unfortunately the camera did not capture the pink glitter. I wore this for four days as I loved the colour and sparkle.

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 16 - Tribal Print

Day 16 (week 16) of the ER31DC - Tribal Print. I have NEVER done a tribal print manicure, this is a first. I did not have the patience to do all my nails so choose two accent nails instead.  This is what I came up with.

My right hand, does not get shown often, the index finger went a bit wrong (this was the first design I did!).

OPI Nail Envy
Seche Vite top Coat

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 15 - Delicate Print

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 14 - Flowers

Day 14 (week 14) of the ER31DC - Flowers.  This is my flower design.  I did this a few weeks ago, I absolutely loved the colour combination.  I wore it for about 5/6 days, I did not want to take it off.  I also got to use my new Sally Hansen polishes that I bought from Fragrance Direct.  Great application, I found the brush a little tricky as I have not used this type of flat brush before.  Having said that, once I had done a few coats I soon got the hang of it and found the application quite easy.

Items Used:
OPI Nail Envy
Seche Vite top coat
Sally Hansen - Put on the Black (burgandy)

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.

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 10 - Gradient

Day 10 (week 10) of the ER31DC - Gradient
I am on time this week, I have had this ready all week (straight after my rainbow debacle!). This took me about 10 minutes for the gradient itself (love that). I used acrylic paint, straight onto the sponge and onto the nail, painted on the feathers, black tip using my new Fragrance Direct purchase W7- Black, top coat and they you go..... (BTW this is my version of this manicure I saw ages ago).

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 9 - Rainbow

Day 9 (week 9) of the ER31DC - Rainbow.
LATE again..  life and works takes over and posts are late yet again.  But this is the manicure I did for the Rainbow challenge.  I painted on a white base first and then put the colours straight onto the sponge and onto the nail, one coat only followed by a top coat.
As soon as I had done this, I hated.  I think if I had done it with the red at the free edge, I might have liked it. Alas I did not have the time to take it off and put something else on and I didn't have the nerve to have bare nails!  Needless to say, this came off within 24 hours!
