31 Day Challenge: Recreation

Last day of the 31 Day Challenge, and the challenge today is to recreate a manicure which someone else has done. I am recreating is Superficially Colorfu and her converse trainer manicure.

Base Polish: La Femme - Grey Cream

31 Day Challenge: Inspired by a Blogger

An attempt at a OPI Spotted, water marble. Cute Polish is where I got my tutorial from. 

Did it work? Not as well as hers did!

31 Day Challenge: Inspired by Favourite Colour

Day 28 and the challenge is to do some nail art inspired by my favourite colour...

Base Polish: NYX Girls - Purple Ink
Spots Polish: Barry M - Retro Blue

31 Day Challenge: Inspired by Yourself

Now this, hands down was the hardest challenge for me. What do I inspire? No idea.

Ended up going with black magnetic polish with a circular magnet and a black rhine-stoned nail ring.

Barry M - Magnetic Dark Silver
Magnet is from MUA
Bundle Monster - Black Nail Ring

31 Day Challenge: Inspired by Childhood

During my childhood I lived pretty much in the middle of a field. 90% of the time surrounded by sheep and occasionally by cows. When the sheep were lambs they would escape from the fields as the fences weren't lamb proof, sometimes I would come out of my bedroom and find lambs in the hallway. Which is where the inspiration came from today:

Polishes Used:

Opaque in three coats, the finish is matte and does have a slight texture (left photo). The photo on the right is with one coat of thick top coat which almost makes the polish come to life.

This is two coats, a blackened glass flecked burgundy polish. From the Gothic Beauty collection.

31 Day Challenge: Oldest Untried

31 Day Challenge: New Technique

This is a new technique to me, it was done using a fan brush. A little bit messy but it seemed to blend the three colours quite well. I am sure with practice this could look so much better.

Base Polish: Sally Hansen - Dorien Grey
Rainbow Polishes: Eyeko - Saucy Polish, ELF - Fire Coral, Collection 2000 - Sherbet Lemon

31 Day Challenge: Watercolour Nails

I've never tried to do watercolour nails before but it was surprisingly easy! I should have done it over a white base rather than a beige.

Ciaté - Mistress
Miss Sporty - Pop Fiction
China Glaze - Grape Pop
