31 Day Challenge - Day 4 Green Nails - Tiffany & Co inspired

Hey guys

Here is my post for day 4 of the 31 day challenge, the task was to create green nails.

I did 2 coats of a Barry M green polish that I have (when I am back home I shall try to remember to add the colour shade) then applied a coat of Rimmel Matte finish to make a similar effect to the box. I then used my new striping brush I did the lines for the ribbon.  I also thought that the matte of the green against the shine of the white would make it look more like a silky ribbon.

I then took my new Konad white pearl special stamping polish and tried to add stamps of bows, however this was a complete fail (as you can see in the photos).  Did I do wrong getting white pearl rather than just the white?  Has anyone else used Konad white pearl and offer any advice or guidance?

Anywho, this is what I ended up with.  To be honest it was going so bad I kinda gave up on it and thought I better just take pictures to show.

Vintage Victorian Rose Flower Nail Art

Hey guys

I tried a new technique last night that I have watched be done on YouTube, this is the video that I used as my guidance... YouTube Video Vintage Flowers There are a lot of videos that require paint or a brush, I used used some good ole' nail polish and my thinest dotting tool.

Vintage victorian rose flower nail art is definitely the way forward!  I am really looking forward to practicing this technique again in the future and trying out different colours, I think a baby blue pastel base coat would look lovely as used in the demo video on YouTube.

Here is my attempt at re-creating this fabulous design, what do you think? :0)

I know I have got a bit of a way to go with shading the leaves etc, I only had one green to hand!  I also think I should have used a toothpick like the demo video as I used a dotting tool but I dont think the tip was still thin enough.

I am going to leave you with a couple more pics of my design, I would love to read your feedback and thoughts below.  Have you tried this technique before? I would love to read your blogs and see your pics of this.

Pink & purple swirl bundle monster nail stamping

Hi guys

I just wanted to share with you a nail stamping design i came up with whilst my man was watching Final Destination 3! I am not the scary movie type (although that film turned out to be lame even for me) so i decided i needed something pink and happy to distract myself with!

So, armed with my bundle monster 2011 nail stamping plates i came up with the following nail art design using plates BM201 and BM210.

I hope you love it as much as i do, let me know what you think below.
