China Glaze, freehand, Milani, Nail Art, Sephora by OPI

My World Cancer Day nails took so long last night I could not do my Tri-Polish Challenge submission!

I realized when I finish, it reminded me of these awesome ice cream nails from Emma’s Manicurity, linked here!

 

Image

And a picture before I added top coat! I really like both looks.

I used two coats of Sephora by OPI Metro Chic as my base. 

I splattered with Milani Dark Coffee and China Glaze Fuchsia (a polish I can use for the GOT challenge!)

 

Enjoy!

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Day 4: Monochrome/World Cancer Day

Bundle Monster, Chanel, freehand, Milani, Nail Art, Nail Art A Go Go, Pretty Jelly, Sephora by OPI, stamping, sugar-spun, Zoya

I’ve been so lucky my last couple of manicures have served two purposes. Today’s Nail-Art-A-Go-Go challenge is monochrome and today so happens to be World Cancer Day as well!

My mom passed away of cancer so this manicure means a lot to me. It came out really nicely except for that blasted clean-up! I forgot Chanel Taboo stains skin like mad. Overall though, I really like the finished product.

 

Image

I used 2 coats of Sephora by OPI Ms. Can’t Be Wrong as my base.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM-321 and Milani Black Cherry.

Polishes Used for Sugar-Spun Technique:

  • Zoya Payton (a new favorite!)
  • Chanel Taboo (gorgeous color but stains anything not covered in base coat)
  • Pretty Jelly Plum in Love
  • Milani Black Cherry

 

I hope you enjoy!
