What is coral exactly? Is it a pinky-orange, an orangey-pink, a blush tangerine or just a neon red-orange? Yet, regardless of the name it most certainly is not the color of coral!

I see a huge surge in matte nail art and I cannot help but jump on board! Matte all the things!

I hope you like it!

DSCF9972_fotorI used 3 coats of Sephora by OPI Cover Me in Petals as my base.

I used Cult Nails Captivated on all fingers except ring.

I detailed with Sally Hansen Blue My Mind, Color Club Almost Famous, Milani Colorful Coral, and OPI Pros & Bronze.

I sealed everything with Seche Vite before adding a generous coat of Essie Matte About You.

I love the asymmetrical dotticure. It looks fun and does not require the upmost precision! Polka dots can be very RA-friendly.

I tried to go for a whimsical fairy-tale kind of look with dark forest-y colors. I hope you like it!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of Wet n Wild Blue Moon, 1 coat of butter London Knackered, and 1 coat of Serum No 5 Forest Lights as my base.

I detailed with Sephora by OPI Domestic Goddess and Ms. Can’t Be Wrong.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 302 and Essie No Place Like Chrome.

I love to bake. I love it but am not the biggest fan of eating baked goods. If I had to choose my favorite they would hands down be cookies! I specifically love chocolate chip cookies and M&M cookies.

I hope you like my cookies manicure for today’s prompt. I tried to go for a marbleized cookie dough batter kind of look!

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Urban Decay Naked (from the Naked collection) as my base.

I marbled with Sephora by OPI 212-Sephora and OPI Pros & Bronze. I topped off with Milani Sugar Rush.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 317 and Milani Dark Coffee.

We all know I love the little devil stamp but I already used it so I decided to go with the bat blood drip!

I hope you like it!

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Julie G White Orchid as my base.

I sponged the gradient with butter London Cotton Buds, Sephora by OPI Metro Chic and Wet n Wild Black Creme.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 301 and Konad Special Polish Red.

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.

Bundle Monster Turns 5! Nail Art Challenge Day 13: Flowers

The first thing that came to mind was a groovy flower theme. However, I’ve done this a couple of times before (nail art here and here) so I wanted to go with something different. I remember a really cool galaxy/gemstone-esque nail art I did back in December (linked here) that I always wanted to revisit.

I decided to try something similar with different colors and a flower stamp! I hope you like it! It definitely does not have the same effect as the original but I think it came out looking pretty good anyways!

I hope you like it too!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of butter London Cotton Buds as my base.

I water-colored with:

  • Zoya Suvi, Giovanna
  • Sephora by OPI Cab Fare
  • Sinful Colors All About You

I water-marbled with:

  • Milani Quick Teal
  • Sephora by OPI Caffeine Fix

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 311 and Essie No Place Like Chrome.

 

What do you think? Is the teal a little too much? I considered using Zoya Yara instead but did not think it would show up. I wanted to use a creme color because the base was sparkly. Did this look work?? Should I have added INM Northern Lights on top to make everything sparkly?

GOT Polish Challenge: Red

Weee!! Red! I love red but not all reds look good on me. My favorite and an oldie is Mr. Right Now!! Love this polish!! I may or may not have stock-piled it when there was a Sephora by OPI sale on HauteLook!

I apologize for the picture quality. I am still trying to get the hang of my new light settings.

I hope you like my manicure! I am a little bummed with how the accent nail came out. I guess there was not enough contrast and looked messy. On the bright side, it does remind me of chocolate covered strawberries!!

 

ImageI used 3 coats of Sephora by OPI Mr. Right Now and 1 generous coat of Sephora by OPI Be-Claus I Said So as my base.

I sugar-spun with Zoya Cheryl and add some glitter pieces from Be-Claus I Said So.
