#52weeknailchallenge: stripes

I'm not good at stripes... Or anything straight. So I had no idea what to do for this prompt. I did come across this mani by @juli_addicted, when I was looking for inspiration for a Triad post. And I think it kind of counts as stripes.

I started with two coats of 3ina 185 on my thumb, index finger and pinky.

On my middle and ring finger I did the lines with a nailart brush and Ulta3 blue marlin and palette play.

Top coated and that was it.

What do you think? I obviously do the original no justice, but I kinda like how this turned out.

Thanks for reading.

#52weeknailchallenge: orange + yellow

For this prompt I was inspired by this tutorial of @liliumzz. So I sat down and started and ended up with this...

Which is NOT what I wanted! It looks like I marbled with a yellow and orange polish and done. Not like a white base with jelly polishes marbled over it. Not like the original. So I redid it.

I started with 3 coats of Tip Top sunkissed on my pinky. On my middle and ring finger I have one coat of Ulta3 black satin. I love a one coat black, they so exciting!😉 On my thumb and index finger I have two coats of 3ina 155.

I then stamped a lacey design from BP-L028 with Nicole Diary white stamping polish.

For the marble I used Essence morning sunshine and Tip Top summer secret. I didn't get the spread that the original has, so I decided to try and do a marble design. It doesn't show up that well, but zooming might help. (pls don't zoom)

Anyway, what do you think? Yellow is not my favourite colour. Maybe because I don't have a nice one. I mean 3 coats for opacity... on my pinky. I ain't got time for that! But how pretty is that 3ina polish. I'm quite impressed with the ones I've used so far. And I do have more coming your way.

Thanks for stopping by!

#52weeknailchallenge: Halloween

I decided to use an old mani for this prompt. I originally did it last year for this prompt and I ended up using something else, so here you go. This was inspired by @nailsbyjema, the link for the original. Don't judge me too harshly.

I started with a coat of Ulta3 lily white on all my nails. I then did a gradient with Tip Top sea me now and crushed grapes on my pinky and thumb. Once that was dry I added a coat of Tip Top indulgence.

On my index, middle and ring finger I used the web vinyls from becauseishop and did the gradient with sea me now and crushed grapes, removing the vinyls immediately. I then added flower decals from Aliexpress.

I kinda like how this turned out. It doesn't have the crisp lines the original does and I'm not sure for what reason I added the glitter, but I like it. What do you think?

I also think I need to stop showing old mani's. Show them all at one time and done, no more, fresh start.
