Dots for day 11

These are my dotty nails for day 11!

I can’t believe I’m already a third of the way through this challenge already! 😀

31DC2014 Day 11 Dots

31DC2014 Day 11 Dots

the polishes I used are

  • Sinful Colors – Mauve
  • Illamasqua – Bapitste
  • China Glaze – Bizarre Blurple
  • Color Club – Secret Agent
  • Barielle – Grape Escape
  • China Glaze – Get Outta My Space
  • Illamasqua – Poke

I used Mauve as the base colour then added the dots with a large dotting tool, starting with the darkest polish, when I got to using Get Outta My Space I switched over to using a medium dotting tool and covered over a few of the gaps 🙂

It was only after I had finished that I realized that this was supposed to be a dotted pattern! Ooops 😛


31DC2014 Day 9 Rainbow Nails

Rainbow Nails

here are my rainbow nails for day 9 I started with a coat of white, I used Ivory Skull from Sally Hansen.

Then I used these polishes for the gradient,

  • Illamasqua – Poke
  • China Glaze – Frostbite
  • Sinful Colors – Happy Ending
  • Maybelline – Electric
  • Rimmel – Double Decker Red

It took three coats, then I applied a thin coat of Prism from Filthy Gorgeous for some sparkle.

After fighting with nail tape for around half an hour I gave up and freehand painted the stripes, which is why they are a bit wobbly lol!

I started with a base of two coats of Mauve from Sinful colors, then I added the other purple colored polishes with a thin nail art brush.

I really like waterfall nails, it really is such an easy (if a little time consuming) technique 🙂

31DC2014 – Day 3 Yellow

Maybelline Electric Yellow and China Glaze White On White

Maybelline Electric Yellow and China Glaze White On White

Here are my yellow nails for day 3 of the 31DC2014 challenge.

for this I started with three coats of Electric Yellow from Maybelline Color Show, then I used White On White from China Glaze for the freehand V shaped french tips, then I added the dots with a medium sized dotting tool!

This was a really quick and easy design to do (which I’m really glad about, I probably should have thought through doing two challenges at the same time!)

31DC2014 Day 2 Orange Nails!

Orange with bats

For my Orange nails I have a Halloween mani to show you 🙂

I really couldn’t work out what to do for my nails today. I don’t like orange nail polish, I don’t hate it, I just don’t like it. I feel the same way about yellow nail polish, I don’t like that either.

As I don’t actually own any “orange” nail polish, I decided to use the same polishes from my GOT polish challenge orange water marble mani, you can find that Here.

I started with a couple of coats of East Austin from Color Club, then using the cling film technique I applied Roguish Red from China Glaze. to make the orange coloured background.

For the bats I used Konad SP in black with plate 10 from the Moyou Suki collection.

I finished it off with Color Club topcoat, there is a little bit of shrinking but it’s not too bad. 🙂
