#52weeknailchallenge: zodiac

So this post may be a little late, but I actually forgot that it was ready to be posted!

This prompt had me stumped!!! I googled zodiac and then the Chinese zodiac popped and I had to check under what year I was born and it was DRAGON!! And I was excited because dragon I could do... Aries on the other hand, no, just no.

I started with two coats of perfect chic green olive on my thumb and pinky. My index ring and middle finger has two coats of Moyra Holographic 253. To be honest I didn't like the formula on this, if I went over the same spot twice it dragged the polish, so I had to be super careful.

The dragon I got from stamping plate HêHê 71. I used Nicole Diary stamping polish in black and made a stamping decal. The mouth I coloured in with Tip Top cherries in the snow and the eyes with TT gold mine. For the body I used green olive.

I then double stamped the dragon's body across my nails with TT gold mine and ND black polish. I then used a piece of a sponge to dab on green olive, gold mine and Sinful Colors green ocean under the body.

So there you go... That is my zodiac mani, what do you think? I'm kinda hoping this might be a prompt again next year. Maybe I'll be able to manage Aries then.

Thanks for stopping by!!

#52weeknailchallenge: autumn

I only realised the other day it's autumn and only because someone mentioned it. And it was only then that I started to notice the chill in the early morning air. Can't wait for winter, but I'm not looking forward to the damp it brings. It messes with my allergies. Let me show you what I did for this prompt.

I started with two coats of essence shade of happiness on my pinky and thumb. On my index, middle and ring finger I have two coats of Hean City Fashion white. 

On my index and ring finger I made stamping decals from Lina 4 seasons autumn 1. I coloured the pumpkins in with shade of happiness and the leaves with perfect chic green olive.

On my middle finger I did a gradient stamp with mundo de unas caramel, geranium and reddish. I then stamped 'hello autumn' with nicole diary black all from autumn 1.

What do you think? I really liked how this turned out.... And shade of happiness is actually a very pretty polish. I had my doubts, but pretty.
