#52weeknailchallenge: zodiac

For today's prompt I decided to not do any specific zodiac sign... Partly because I forgot I can do one and partly because I didn't have lots of time.

So I started with two coats of Glisten & Glow coffee and cuss words. This polish might as well be me, in a bottle. I'd kill for a decent cuppa and I have a potty mouth, especially if you annoy me. Or piss me off.

Coffee and cuss words is so pretty with the purple sometimes green shimmer. You can actually see the green tint at my cuticle. And the subtle holo! Since I didn't want to cover it too much I stamped a simple design with Nicole Diary white.

The image is from Konad 23 and guess what... This plate has specific zodiac designs on it.

What do you think? I think I really need to do a proper Zodiac mani, maybe next year if it's still part of the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

#52weeknailchallenge: stars

Finally a prompt that I actually had a plan for!! I've had the Glisten & Glow Dark and Delishious collection on my table for ages and I've been wanting to use it, but never had the ideal prompt. Until now. When I originally shared the polishes with our Secret Santa group, one of the ladies asked if it was a galaxy in a bottle (or at least something to that effect). So that for me meant stars.

I started with two coats of G&G cold hands. warm heart on my thumb, index finger and pinky. On my middle and ring finger I have one coat of Ulta3 black satin.

For the stars I used starry night vinyls from Becauseishop. I laid one on my miracle mat and painted a coat of OPI int'l crime caper over it. Removing the vinyl immediately, I then placed it again and used a scraper to flatten it and get rid of the excess polish. I then painted a coat of China Glaze let your twilight sparkle over it, removing the vinyl immediately.

Once it was dry I randomly added the stars to my nails, top coated and done.

What do you think? I was concerned when I bought this collection that I would have trouble capturing the colour shift. Since they all black based polishes, but so far I haven't had any trouble.

Thanks for reading!
