26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Going on Holiday

The 19th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's challenge.

I am a few days late but the theme is Going on Holiday.

This is my interpretation.

I did palm trees on a two colour gradient base.  I have done these before in a different colourway, I think I prefer the original (here).

Also I did NOT use nail polish, I used acrylic paint for the gradient and trees :)  I put on a glitter coat over the top of the gradient however, and as you can see on the purple bit, it kind of did a shattered effect, I quite like that.

Christmas Day 2016 - Fail

I did some stamping for Xmas nails - a big fail.  But hay-ho, have to share the likes as well as the not!

Used an OPI red and PIA glitter red as well as a born pretty red stamping polish.

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.

KIKO 497 Pearly Indian Violet

I did this manicure back in September 2016.  This was from my 2nd KIKO haul.  Isn't it a beauty. Love all the sparkles and micro glitter in it.  Loved it on.  Love the shape on my nails, I must do them like that again.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Pastel Christmas

6th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

The challenge this week is Pastel Christmas.

I did this manicure a week before the last challenge here.  This was going to be Christmas Preparations, then I read that the next one was Pastel!  So I saved this for now :)

I loved how this turned out, love all the snowflake decals on the nails, so very christmassy, don't you think.

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...

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Halloween In The Wrong Colours

Challenge number 2 - Halloween In The Wrong Colours.

This was hard to think of in terms of colours, as most colours can be used for Halloween, green, orange, blue, black, white, red and purple! The only one I could think of was pink not really Halloweeny :)

So here is my sparkly, blingy pink Halloween manicure. I think simple but effective?

For the silver nails I used an Orly silver as a base then put the LA Girl glitter on top.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Coral and White with Tweed - Skittlette

Week 38 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This week the prompt is Coral and White with my personal prompt of Houndstooth/Tweed/Plaid.
I chose Tweed.

I did a something a little different.  I have been looking at a lot of Korean/Japanese nail art, and they seem to do something like this quite a lot so that is my inspiration.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Weddings

Week 35 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This week the prompt is weddings.

I guess when you think of wedding nails you would normally think pastel or french manicure or along those lines.

I took inspiration firstly from my own wedding outfit and then from the lovely @lauramerino12 on instagram.

I can't even remember what I had on my nails all those years ago (26 years).  But I thought if I did my nails, I would do them to match my outfit and this is what I came up with.
