Friday Triad: Inspired by @thenailartbabe

It's that time of the month again... Each month one of us chooses a mani as inspiration and we go to town with it. This month it was my turn to choose the inspo. So I chose this mani by @thenailartbabe, I originally had something else in mind, but it was similar to another design we did recently.

Let me show you what I did. I started with a coat of Hean City Fashion white, not bothering about opacity. I then did a gradient with China Glaze for Audrey at my cuticle, Hean I love Hean 401 and China Glaze emerald bae.

I then top coated as I was going to use vinyls.

I then placed the vinyls on my nails and painted a coat of Pahlish Salazar on my tips, removing the vinyls immediately. Sadly the store I got these vinyls from is no longer available. So I'm using them rather sparingly.

I am super happy with how this turned out. I got a butt load of compliments and that's always fun. What do you think? Don't forget to check out what Joyce and Michelle did... I'm suspecting someone used pink or purple.

Thanks for reading!!

Halloween 2019

I almost dated this post 2020, I've been making enquiries into service providers for the wedding and all of them wanted the date, so typing 2020 is so natural right now.

I wanted to do another Halloween mani for this year, since another image on Lina MYM 8 caught my eye while doing the previous one. I started with two coats of China Glaze plur-ple on my thumb, one coat of China Glaze treble maker on my index, middle and ring finger and two coats on my pinky.

I then did a smoosh on my index, middle and ring finger with the two polishes.

Once it was dry I stamped both images from Lina MYM8 with Nicole Diary black. For once the pictures are way brighter than it is in real life. I loved how this turned out. And I'm especially happy with how neon the pictures turned out.

What do you think? Maybe next year I'll actually use the Halloween stamping plate I have!

#52weeknailchallenge: Halloween

Here it is, the first Halloween mani for the year... On one hand I'm kinda bummed that it's not a big thing here, but on the other hand I don't see myself ever dressing up in a costume. At least I can have it on my nails though.

I started with two coats of my early Christmas present from @tehillaleah, ninezero Clover on my thumb, index and pinky. On my middle and ring finger I have two coats of Tip Top cool as a cucumber.

On my middle and ring fingers I have a stamped image from Lina Make your mark 8, stamped with Mundo de Unas reddish and coloured in with I love Hean 870.

I sure had a lot of people ask me why I have socks on my nails....  Until they looked closer of course.

Clover is absolutely stunning and I think Heather made a great choice. What do you think? Does it match my zombie feet or not? Probably not....

Thanks for stopping by!

#52weeknailchallenge: dotticure

I slightly cheated on this one and didn't do a 'traditional' dotticure, but went with stamping instead. Maybe next year if it's still around...

Let me show you how I cheated. I started with two coats of essence what is this feeling? on my thumb, index and middle finger. On my ring finger and pinky I have two coats of essence creating memories and a coat of Sinful Colors holo back over that.

I then stamped an image from Lina feeling shapely 9 with Mundo de Unas copper, leaving it on my stamper. I then painted creating memories across one half of the image. Once it was dry rolling it onto my nail.

I kinda like how this turned out and I really like how holo back looks. What do you think? It totally counts as a dotticure since there is dots.

Creating memories also looks like a completely different polish because of the shades used over it, don't you think?
