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.

Christmas Nails with Gems and Decals

Another catch-up post.  Inspiration from Instagram @sidstudioruody,  Loved these when I saw them last Christmas, I had to do similar.

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 - Pastel to Bold Gradient with Something on Top

This is the 14th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This fortnight the theme is Pastel to Bold Gradient with Something on Top.

I love doing gradients, if a little messy.  Here I used a base coat of OPI Alpine Snow.  I put on a coat of SV for quick drying.  Then for the gradient I used LA Colors Mega Watt and Elf Mango Madness.

For the something on top, I used some floral and butterfly nail water decals - voila.

Simple and effective.

Floral Wrap

I am on a slight catchup with my manicures.

I did this one back in October.  Loved this combination.  I used some self adhesive nail wraps for the two accent nails.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Green Freestyle

This is the 13th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This fortnight the theme is Green Freestyle.  I have chosen water decals for my freestyle.

I have used these water decals here before, about 2 years ago.  

Amazing how by just changing the colour of the polish/lacquer gives the manicure a completely different feel and look.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Black and White Valentines

This is the 9th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

The challenge this fortnight is Black and White Valentines

Again, I've incorporated a gradient and a nail decal.  The decal has a bit of red in it, but then valentines has to have a bit of red, right?  I uses OPI Alpine Snow and Orly Liquid Vinyl.

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 - Winter warmth

4th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

Challenge this week is winter warmth.

I was stuck on this one - so just did plain gradient warm nails.

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.

The three colours I used for the Mosaic on my nails ↓
