SPACE GHOSTS

Background was created by layering a irridescent blue green glitter polish over a light taupe creating a really warm purple color, then gold sequins were places for the star/polka dots.

NYC - park ave. & Sinful Colors - pearl harbor (my new favorite polish!!!) and Milani Jewel FX - Gold (placed individually)

The ghosts were created using a mix of acrylic and polish.

White acrylic base, Sinful colors - black on black, Sally Hansen xtreme - gun metal, O.P.I. - birthday babe, and for the hearts China Glaze - purple panic neon

base coat always OPI - base coat, & top coat - seche vite

FOUR DAYS LEFT! CRAZZZYYYY! 


SLEIGH/SLED was the theme for today! I chose to do santa's sleigh, reindeer flying over the moon. :)
I used a mix of nail polish and acrylic paint which allowed for a much smoother (less sticky) application of my design.

The color fade background was done using a base of Sally Hansen - marine scene (#23), 3 coats, and acrylic paint.  On top of that I used NYC - starry silver glitter (#105) which has a nice mix of silver and iridescent micro glitter mixed with medium sized hexagonal blue and pink glitter in a clear polish... It's really pretty! For the design I used all acrylic paint, and then sealed it with the amazing Seche VITE - quick dry top coat.


Tomorrows theme is REINDEER

24 days of XMAS Challenge : Day 4

❄❇❅❆✺❃❉❄❇❅❆✺❃❉❄❇❅❆✺❃❉❄❇❅❆✺❃❉❄❇❅❆✺❃❉

It's day 4 of the 24 day x-mas challenge, and todays theme is SNOWMAN (men) :)

I'm posting this on the early side because otherwise I wont be able to do my snowmen nails till late late tomorrow night, and I might as well make use of my night owl habits! As you will see, I was inspired by a still from Frosty The Snowman, although i kept to the traditional lump of coal and carrot face, the color background and framing are similar. I thought this was a perfect opportunity to use a base color other than blue, red and green, the typical December holiday palette, which so happen to be the three colors I were least often. I thought the thistle color was really pretty, but i wanted more contrast to make my snowmen POP! I also thought my snowmen should wear bow ties instead of scarves because i thought it would be cuter!

still from Frosty The Snowman (1969)

                                                 1                    2                   3                 4              5

Okay, first off (post B.C.) i used Love & Beauty - lavendar, the amazing thing about this, was, it was a one coater! unvelievable! I mean i know there are better nail polishes out there, but L&B seriously is one of my favorite brands, so cheap, nice colors, and not too thin! 

ANYWAYS... Next, for the snowmen: Ruby Kisses - french white, coal and hat Ruby Kisses - black eutopia,  carrot Love & Beauty - orange, shading on the carrot I mixed L&B- orange with Orly - bus stop crimson (weird name), and the highlights for the eyes, carrot and hat I mixed Ruby Kisses - french white with Ruby Kisses - black eutopia for various grey tones.

For each of the bow ties i wanted something different (it took every ounce of me to not just bedazzle the crap out of these little guys, can't over do it!) 

[1] Sally Hansen - cardinal, Love & Beauty - Mint (green glimmer), Ruby Kisses - french white, Ruby Kisses - black eutopia.

[2] Kiss - blue striper, Kiss - gold glitter striper, Ruby Kisses - black eutopia

[3] Orly - bus stop crimson,  Ruby Kisses - french white, NYC - starry silver glitter (#105)

[4] Ruby Kisses - french white, Ruby Kisses - black eutopia, L.A. Girls Flare - hunter green

last but not least...

[5] Sally Hansen - cardinal, Kiss - blue striper

All topped off with a nice HEALTHY coat of Seche VITE - quick dry top coat!  (the best!!!)

phew! well, i look froward to seeing the rest of the snowman challenge designs from the other ladies participating, and I hope you enjoyed mine too! :)

24 days of XMAS Challenge : Day 2

❄❇❅❆✺❃❉❄❇❅❆✺❃❉❄❇❅❆✺❃❉❄❇❅❆✺❃❉❄❇❅❆✺❃❉

hellooooo all, here is my SNOWFLAKE nail design!!! (idky but this challenge puts me in a really good mood!) For todays design i wanted to incorporate a few things: [1] snowflakes (of course!) but especially that no two snowflakes are alike! [2] a color fade to emphasize a sky changing from day to night, and [3] a VGAP to create movement! I also really LOVE the VGAP (its so sexy, right?!)

for the base (after the OPI- natural base) I put one sheer layer of Sally Hansen - shell we dance? (#160), for the blue color fade sections, (which are hard to see in some of the pictures, sorry!)  starting at the base I used Milani - art deco blue (#95), Love & Beauty - indigo, Love & Beauty - royal,  and finally O.P.I. - austin-tacious turquoise at the tip of the nail. For the snowflakes I used Kiss - white striper, and last i used NYC - starry silver glitter (#105) just in center over the gap. Then i topped it off with Seche VITE - quick dry top coat.

For those of you who are doing this challenge, i hope you are having as much fun as i am! :) and i can't wait to see how the rest of the challenge looks!

Also, be sure to check out the rest of the ladies who are getting their nails into the holiday spirit!
