New31DC: Day 7

Hello! Today's prompt calls for ombre or skittle nails! My original plan was to do ombre. I started out with China Glaze For Audrey and mixed in varying amounts of black and white in order to make an ombre effect. The effect turned out to be too subtle, and my camera would hardly even pick up the color difference. I removed that, and instead did my favorite type of skittle manicure.

I love doing at least one nail with flowers and then different designs on the other fingers using the same colors. I'm very happy with how this one turned out, and I'm glad I didn't stick with my miserable ombre.

The grey is Xtreme Wear Wet Cement, and the light purple is Lacey Lilac. The accents on the flower are China Glaze Pucci-Licious, and the leaves are China Glaze Starboard.

 

Just for fun, here's my sad ombre. I tried to add glitter to improve it, I don't think it worked.

New31DC: Day 6

Hello! Today is day 6, which calls for your favorite color family. I was torn between pink and blue. I went with blue because I just recently painted pink nails. For this manicure I just made a ton of dots using a ton of polishes. I used just about every blue in my collection. The camera makes it a little harder to see all the different shades, but it still looks pretty neat. I did a manicure like this about two years ago using purple and green and I really liked it, so I thought I'd do it again, but with blue!

New31DC: Day 5

Today calls for purple! When I saw this prompt I knew that there was only one thing I could do, the one eye one horned flying purple people eater! I remember hearing the song on that Kidsongs show when I was younger.

The base color is China Glaze Sea Spray. The yellow is Orly Lemonade, and the brown is China Glaze Mahogany Magic. The purples on his face are China Glaze Pucci-licious and Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac. His wings are Zoya Mira.

New31DC: Day 4

Hello! Today's prompt in the challenge calls for pink nails! Pink is my favorite color, so I was pretty excited to see it on this challenge. For my pink nails I had to go with Barbie! I painted Barbie's famous logo and 'B'.

 The base is Color Club Vintage Couture, and the writing is with Xtreme Wear Pink Punch.

While painting these nails I could not get this song out of my head! I remember I used to have it on a bright pink cassette tape.

New31DC: Day 3

Hello! Today's prompt is gold. For this manicure I painted the superhero Nova. He has a gold helmet and gold accents on his suit. I painted his helmet and the designs on his various suits.

I used Xtreme Wear Gunmetal and China Glaze Man Hunt for the uniforms. The gold is China Glaze Champagne Bubbles, and the red is Cranberry Splash.

New31DC: Day 2

Hello! Today's prompt is silver nails. I decided to do some stamping. I don't stamp very often, but I find that silver chrome polish works vest for me, so I decided to go for it. I'm happy with the results! I used Xtreme Wear Gunmetal as a base, and stamped using Essie No Place Like Chrome. I used an image from the plate BM21

New31DC: Day 1
