#52weeknailchallenge: yellow and green

Another late post... Hopefully I'll catch up soon.

Let me show what I did for this prompt. I started with three coats of Morgan Taylor go for the glow on my thumb and index. On my middle and index I have a coat of China Glaze daisy know my name. On my pinky I have three.

I then did a gradient with go for the glow and daisy know my name on my middle and ring finger.

Once it was dry I added a coat of Sinful Colors holo back over the gradient. Then I added some decals.

What do you think? I love how this turned out! Especially the neon.

Thanks for stopping by.

#52weeknailchallenge: half moon

I'm so behind with posting these blog posts, it's not even funny. And I don't want to update Instagram, because my blog posts are behind... Anyway, I took this prompt literally and had half moons on my nails. Let me show you what I did...

I started with two coats of Morgan Taylor under the stars on my thumb, index and pinky. On my middle and ring finger I have two coats of Morgan Taylor go for the glow.

I had such doubt about go for the glow, but it's sooo pretty!! It's definitely one I will be wearing again. The half moons are decals I got from Aliexpress. If you don't have any I can really recommend getting a pack from Aliexpress, as long as you don't mind the wait. I have so many! I have even given some away.

I added a matte topcoat to the nails with under the stars and I loved it even more.

What do you think? And which version do you prefer?

Thanks for reading!

 

Secret Santa mani's

Isn't it nice playing with new polishes and new stamping plates?

Here is some mani's I did while playing with my new things. 

For this I started with two coats of WoW 427 on my thumb, index finger and pinky. On my middle and ring finger I have two coats of LA Girl cornflower. I then stamped an image from Essence shapes of glory with WoW 433 on my middle finger. On my ringer finger I stamped from Moyou Scandi 4 and coloured it in with China Glaze pearl jammin'

Here I started with two coats of Morgan Taylor go for the glow on my thumb, index and middle finger. On my ring finger and pinky I have OPI blush hour. I then stamped an image from Essence shapes of glory with WoW 422.

This is my favourite of the ones I did. I started with two coats of China Glaze lime after lime on my thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. On my pinky I have Tip Top galaxy. For the cotton I stamped from Konad 38 with Nicole Diary black and coloured it in with Hean City Fashion white.

This is the last one and was chosen by my Secret Santa Thea. I was told to do something, anything with ILNP Ava. I'm wearing two coats and on my ring finger I did a negative space with stamping from Konad 38 with WoW 433.

What do you think? Which one is your favourite?

#52weeknailchallenge: holographic

Ah the mandatory holo prompt. I don't think any challenge is complete without having holo as a prompt and I'm happy to say that my amount of holo polishes has grown. Not by much, but it has. Now I'm dreaming of a stunning red holo (nudge nudge wink wink)

I saw this mani and I love the negative space look with the crystals and I wanted to do something similar. Now it doesn't quite work, but pretty polishes make everything better. Unless it really sucks.

I started with two coats of Morgan Taylor under the stars. And man is this a pretty polish! My only gripe is that even with a nice thick coat of seche, it still wasn't smooth. On my ring finger I have two coats of base coat.

I used an image from BP-L060 and stamped it with Revlon rock the metal. I then coloured it in with KB Shimmer rollin' with the chrommies. The etching on this plate is very shallow and I'm not the only one to have noticed that... Once my decal was slightly dry I stamped it directly to my nail.

I'm thinking I should rather have used a clear base coat or even a different polish to colour in the gems, but oh well.

What do you think? Are you going to join the challenge at all?
