butter, freehand, Nail Art A Go Go, Nails Inc, Sephora by OPI, Zoya

The first thing I thought of were my pets “hiding” themselves away. Affie is particularly good at it and she will be in my next Flashback Friday post!

Affie is a white dog, hiding in a white couch and I couldn’t quite capture the look on my nails. Instead, I went for a more traditional take on animals hiding amongst the foliage!

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Zoya Suvi as my base.

Polishes used for Detailing:

  • Zoya Giovanna
  • Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas, Go My Own Way
  • Wet n Wild Black Creme
  • butter London Cotton Buds
  • SpaRitual Howl

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Day 11: Wallpaper

Bundle Monster, Konad, Nail Art A Go Go, stamping, Zoya

Finally caught up!

I decided to go colors that sort of clashed. There are so many wallpapers I look at and wonder why they exist, just because of the color scheme!

 

Image

 

I used 2 coats of Zoya Payton as my base.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish in Gold and Bundle Monster plate BM-312.

I was surprised by the Konad polish. I kept the bald spots from Payton and used gold to stamp because I wanted a faded look but it stamped very nicely!

Chanel, freehand, Milani, MoYou London, Nail Art A Go Go, Nails Inc, stamping

What makes us a geek? Is it the clothes we wear? The subjects we study? Nope, it is our own DNA, our own blood! We all geek out about one thing or another. Embrace it! I certainly do! 🙂

This manicure also serves for The Crumpet’s Tri-Polish Tuesday Challenge as well.

 

Image

 

I used 2 coats of Nails Inc. Foubert’s Place. This polish actually cracked on my third finger as it was drying. Has that happened to anyone else?

I stamped with Milani Dark Coffee and MoYou London plate 03 from the Scholars Collection.

I “blood-splattered” with Chanel Le Vernis Gondola.

 

I hope you enjoy!

butter London, China Glaze, Color Club, freehand, Nail Art A Go Go, Zoya

I’ll be playing catch up for a little while since I am in the middle of a extremely bad flare.

Apologies on the poor photo quality, my light decided to be a brat and I could not get a better photograph.

For my still life inspiration I chose to re-create my favorite flower, the lotus!

 

Image

 

I used 2 coats of Zoya Giovanna as my base.

I used a mix of butter London Cotton Buds, China Glaze Fuchsia, and Color Club Almost Famous! for the detailing.

Konad, MoYou London, Nail Art, Nail Art A Go Go, Sinful Colors, stamping, Urban Outfitters

Awesome timing! I received my Konad stamping polishes in the mail today so I decided to try them out! I’m still getting used to the consistency so my stamping was not completely spot on.

The final product came out how I envisioned though so no complaints here!

 

Image

 

2 coats of Sinful Colors Chick Chick as my base.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish in Red? (I do not remember the actual name) and MoYou London plate 09 from the Pro Collection.

Dots were done with Urban Outfitters Blue Velvet.
