My absolute favorite part of presents are the ribbons. Why? Because they double as cat toys. I have not bought a cat toy in years. Just kidding! This is why my cats love presents.

I love ribbons because they are so multi-purpose and so so so pretty!! There are so many. I can put them in art, pretty up almost anything, and they are functional!

I hope you like my ribbon art for today’s prompt!

 

ImagebuI used 2 coats of Color Club Almost Famous and 1 coat of Urban Outfitters Banana Hammock as my base.

I saran-wrapped with Rimmel London Reggae Splash (Kate Moss collection), Sephora by OPI Cover Me in Petals and Sinful Colors All About You.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish Red, Bundle Monster plate BM 321 and Konad Special Polish Black, Bundle Monster plate BM 316.

I love parties and dancing, drinking, bright lights and staying up until dawn…until, the next morning! I still have very fond memories of the night before but they are accompanied with just as sorrowful hangovers and headaches…and the little voice that says “NEVER AGAIN!” Until the next weekend, of course 😉

I hope you like my interpretation for party animal…or the day after!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of Milani Black Swift, 1 coat of butter London The Black Knight, and 1 coat of Julie G JetSet top coat as my base.

I dotted with American Apparel Neon Red, Neon Yellow and Rimmel London Reggae Splash (from the Kate Moss collection).

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 305 and Konad Special Polish White.

I finished with 1 coat of Seche Vite and 1 coat of Revlon Celestial FX.

Spring Renewal Nail Art Challenge Day 2: Pastels

Here is my manicure for the second day of the Spring Renewal Nail Art Challenge hosted by Jessica at Be Happy and Buy Polish. (Facebook group linked here)

I wanted to go with true pastels but I decided to incorporate my love of neon coral to make the lighter shades pop.

 

ImageI used 3 coats of Sephora by OPI Cover Me in Petals as my base.

I sugar spun horizontally with Milani Peacock and Urban Outfitters Westside. 

I sugar spun vertically with Rimmel London Reggae Splash which is no longer an un-tried!

 

I think the Rimmel London polish is more muted and orange than the Urban Outfitters but as a sugar-spun they look nearly identical. The Rimmel polish is also more sheer than the Urban Outfitters.

Gnarly Gnails’ Neverending Pile Challenge/NAIL April Theme Two: Birds

I do not have a lot of untrieds. Definitely no “high-end” ones because I run home and open every bottle of polish. I do want to take part in the challenge so I will participate as I can. I decided to kill two birds with one stone (hehe) and make this my NAIL submission as well.

I think I stretched the rules thin. I used an untried, but I used a lot of other ones as well. Initially I just wanted to “water-color” with the new polish but it barely showed up so I sugar-spun as well.

Untried: Rimmel London “Reggae Splash”

I used 2 coats butter London Tea with the Queen as my base.

I water-colored with Nails Inc. Sprinkles Sweets Way and Rimmel London Reggae Splash.

I stamped with Wet n Wild Black Creme and Bundle Monster plate BM 315. My stamping did not smudge!!!

I sugar-spun with the Rimmel London polish.
