#52weeknailchallenge: animal

Let's just get this out the way, I did owls for animal. Get over it.

I had no inspo for this prompt at all. I knew I wanted to use owl decals, but that was it. So I sent a SOS to our Secret Santa group and this was born....

I started with three coats of Sally Hansen go bananas on my index finger, two coats of SH palm treat on my middle finger, two coats of Hean ordinary misfit on my ring finger and the rest has two coats of Hean City Fashion white. While that was drying I placed some zig zag vinyls on my miracle mat and used the 3 colours to make the zig zags.

While those were drying I stamped my branches from m66 with Munde de Unas caramel, removing the flowers with a dotting tool. Then stamped the flowers with MdU mint, removing the branches. Adding my decals after that. (the look of the purple owl matches my mood most of the time!)

Once my zig zags were dry, I carefully peeled them off and used my clear stamper to place them. I kinda like the look of it, with the white peeking through.

What do you think? I think it's different and quite colourful. And I'm glad I asked the group. This came out great thanks to them.

#52weeknailchallenge: summer

And here we are at the summer prompt... Ironically, as I'm typing this post, it's raining! Not that I'm complianing, I've always enjoyed the colder weather more and with the drought we having we need the rain. Although one half of our counrty is drowning...

Anyway, let's get to the prompt. Maybe it will help brighten up everything. I have two coats of Revlon provoke on my thumb and pinky. For my gradient I used, provoke at my cuticle, essence love is in the air and sally hansen go bananas.

I then stamped from BP-L017 and using Nicole Diary black stamping polish.

On my ring finger I used a black striping polish to fill in the open spots where the stamper didn't pick up all the polish.

And that's that. Summery enough for you? I did have some other things in mind, but I didn't want to complicate it. Maybe next year!

Thanks for reading!

Happy Friday 13th

I wasn't planning on posting today, but yesterday was such a bad day, that today can't be all that bad, right?

So with keeping in the theme of Friday 13th and halloween and all that I decided to share this mani early. As in I did it yesterday! Here's my mummie nails!

I started with two coats of Hean City Fashion white on all my nails. Once that was dry I took a piece of sponge and randomly sponged Sally Hansen honey whip, Sorbet chic me baby and Hean 273 from the jungle pop collection. I then double stamped from plate BP 67 using a gold stamping from BPS and caramel from Mundo de Unas.

I laid down some manicure guides (the old ones) on my miracle mat to make the black strip for the eyes. When that was dry, I placed it on my middle finger, made two white dots and two smaller red dots in the centre.

I then top coated, smudged my index finger and then painted a coat of OPI matte coat over it.

What do you think? Someone said it looks like melted chocolate or someting... With googley eyes.So I rolled my eyes at them.

As I side note and a rant, I hate it when people have no consideration for other people's time. Why come 4 mins before we close with a problem you have had the whole day?

Anyway, thanks for reading!
