Day 18: Oldest Untried Polish

The oldest polish in my stash.  

Its not untried, but I haven't tried it for a long long time.

This, surprisingly, is only one coat. I guess as I got older I started to like the more muted colours.

 Mingke 36 and Kebiya 15 as accent.

Random polishes from a random dollar store from a city 5 hours away. 

Day 17: New Technique

Not my best, but I like it.

My new technique was one that I've seen other people use with great success.

Temporary tattoos over a base polish.

Rimmel Princess Pink, and $2 store tattoos.

Of course, I have to get a bit of hair stuck under the base coat.  *sigh*.

I really liked this.  It seems to be a good way of adding details to plain nails.  

Day 16: Opposite Colours

Lots of colours.  I had fun with this one!

Kleancolors: White, Black, Neon Aqua, Neon Yellow, Neon Lime, 

Neon Orange, Neon Amethyst, Neon Pink.  

CR mini: 14, 32.  

Jordana Pop Art: Express In Yellow, Purple Impression, Picture Perfect Pink, 

Define In Green, Contemporary White, Creative With Orange, Blue Abstract, Black Mark.  

L.A. Colours Art Deco: Silver, Gold Rush.

Did ya get all that? 

I somehow managed to munt up the tips of a few of them while I was sleeping, and when I retouched them, I just stuck my hands in my bag to get my bus fare out and ruined them again.
 

Yes, I need a new Ipod cover. 

Day 15: Watercolour

Watercolour nails are interesting.

I used the three primary neons - pink, yellow and blue over a white base.

Because I've been back at work the last two weeks, I've managed to break and/or destroy 8 out of 10 nails.  So looks like its time for fakies.

Kleancolor White, Neon Pink, Neon Aqua, Neon Yellow.

I don't know where the black came from.  Think the brush was tainted.  This was fun, but not my favorite.  

I'll tell you what though - If you glue nails on, then it spills out and glues your fingers to the inside of the nails, don't - and I repeat don't - pull the skin away from the nail.  I've torn the skin on some of my fingers, which made the watercolouring process just that much more painful.

Day 14: Stamping

 Stamping!!

My favorite thing to do to create simply divine designs.

 

 Perfect Mol-ten with Kleancolor Metallic Black.  BM 317.

I love the hearts.  Its a lot greener than it seems on here.

I liked this too, but I didn't like it enough to keep it. 
It looks like ninja throwing stars to me. 

 Cold Metal, Blue Heaven, Mash 47.

Day 12: Tape

Tape and just to be sneaky, I combined it with the Sunday Adventures in Stamping challenge too.

I got all my holos and foils from Head 2 Toe Beauty.  Only took a week and a half to get here!

Anyway, I'm in love with them, if you couldn't already tell.

Color Club Cherubic over Cold Metal

So pretty. Stamping with Mash 44.

 This was my first attempt.  I wasn't overly happy with it.  Same base coat, but Mash 47 and Blue Heaven.  It just didn't sing to me.

Day 13: Cheer me up!

 What makes me happy?  

Sparkle.
Pink.
Holographics.
Colour change.

THIS MANI!!

My Color Clubs arrived.  These are all the holos except Halo-Graphic from the Halo Hues collection.

Halo-Graphic with Desert Valley over accents.  This stuff is incredible.  Its totally clear indoors, but BRIGHT purple in the sun.

Blue Heaven, Angel Kiss, Cloud Nine, Cherubic, Harp On It.

Halo-Graphic with Desert Valley

So Pretty!!  


Makes me happy.  I need more color change, and more holos.
