31DC2014 – Day 13 Animal Print

By Ruth

A little bit late, but here are my animal print nails for day 13!

Zebra Print Nails!

I have to say that this looks much better in real life! My nails look very washed out in these pictures.

I started with A couple of coats of Shabby Drab from Color Club, Purple toned grey polishes make me very happy! and this one is no exception! 😀

The stamping plate is Pro Collection XL 04 from Moyou. I used some more Shabby Drab along with a couple of drops of Artemis from 2True for the stamped images, It was quite difficult to see what I was doing with the gradient, the 2True polish sunk under the Color Club so I couldn’t tell how much purple I had picked up!

I’m definitely going to try this again, probably with a leopard print, or snake print… Thinking about it I don’t think I have ever used my snakey stamps… I really have to do something about that! 😀

Simple Glitter Placement Nail Art!

By Ruth

Just a quick post today! A really simple glitter placement!

Grey and Black Glitter Placement Nail Art

Shabby Drab With Black Holo Glitter

The base colour is Shabby Drab from Color Club. I really like this creamy warm purpley grey shade! The consistency of this polish is wonderful, it applies like a dream and it’s opaque in two coats!

I’m really being drawn to grey at the moment, I think it might be the weather.

I love this black holographic glitter sooo much! I applied each glitter with a toothpick, it didn’t take too long at all, just a few minutes per nail! Then I finished it off with a coat of Seche Vite. 😀

Anti Valentines Nail Art!

By Ruth

Today I have some very Anti Valentine’s day nails to show you!

Anti Valentines Day Nails

I don’t think I could have made this any less valentine’sy!

I started out with two coats of Pumice From Sally Hansen, then using a make up sponge I applied patches of Pure Midnight which is also a Sally Hansen Polish.

Then I used a combination of cling film and tiny bits of sponge to add Barry M Grey, China Glaze Galactic Grey and Color Club Shabby Drab to create the stone effect.

I used two Bundle Monster Plates BM-426 and BM-413 for the stamping, I used Konad Special Polish in Black, then with a thin brush I added some Lumin-iceant from Color Club to the letters.

I also used Lumin-iceant for the stamping on my thumb, unfortunately it doesn’t show as well as I would like 😦

I finished it off with a coat of Seche Vite, but then decided it would look better in matte so I added a coat of Matte Finisher from E.L.F!

I think that’s enough hate nails from me! And I hope you have a lovely Valentine’s day what ever you are doing! 🙂
