Interlocking dots

I decided to jazz up yesterday's mani by adding polka dots. 

I always go overboard with the dots but i think this turned out okay seeing that its the first time am trying this mani - came across it some time last week and thought it looked beautiful and a little interesting.

The Tri polish challenge Day 3

Today i chose to use coral and green because i haven't used these two together before.

So...this is a horrible mani and i don't like the colour combination either.

Tri Polish challenge Day 2

2 Tone - Colour Blocking

Two-tone manis are also trending this season so thats what i chose to do. This was a quick mani. I used tape to get that crisp demarcation line.

The Tri-polish challenge Day 1

This months' set of colours are Green, Purple and Coral.

The 3 polishes i have chosen to use are: from B.O, Green #12 and Purple #17. From Luron,  Coral #103.

I am also allowed to use Black, White, Silver, Gold and Glitter toppers.

The challenge officially started yesterday but since i only found out about it an hour ago, i will post my first mani today. The second mani will be up tomorrow.

Without further ado lets get into it...

Sugar spun - Textured nails

I took this first pic indoors (poorly lit area). The purple kinda loos blue o_O. Took the next one (outside) after doing some cleaning...see the smudges?

I am in love with this mani! It has a 3D effect since i did not add a top coat and i think it looks yummy! I just wanted to lick it...and i did! Its my first time doing it and even though it takes a little longer to do,  the results are worth it. I keep touching my nails just to feel the texture! It has this fun vibe about it that just puts you in the partying mood lol! 

I can't wait to try it out again with other colour combinations! One thing i will do differently (in terms of application) is stretch the stringy polish further to make thinner lines so that it dries fast and doesn't smudge (hope that makes sense).  

Now i have use for my old (tacky) nail polishes that i had planned to throw away.

By the way textured nails are  trending this season and since i don't own any polish that will give my nails some sort of rough texture (other than my crackle nail polishes), this will have to do.

Vintage Floral Nails

Once again i have been MIA. I will not bore you with any lame excuses so lets just get into the mani. 

I used Luron French manicure #FB213 (sheer) pink as my base then used a coral colour (Luron #103) for the roses. I used red polish (Luron #10) to create the petals which gave the flowers some depth. For the leaves, i simply used green (Luron #86). 

The colours in this second mani were inspired by what i wore on that day. I had on a black and green striped top and navy blue skinny jeans. I used a sky blue colour (B.O nail lacquer #04) for the flowers and a navy blue (Charm Max) for the petals. The leaves were the same green colour (B.O nail lacquer #12) as my other finger nails. The black is Dodwell #79. The flowers on my thumb nail got smudged a little. Overall, i loved this mani.

I did these a couple of weeks ago. I did the first one sometime last month and the other on the 1st of this month (got my hair done that day too). These are my first vintage floral manis. They look cute so i'll definitely do them again.

Side note: I have decided to be doing nail art only on my accent nails because i somehow feel overwhelmed when i do it on all my nails...I feel like its over the top. I have a lot of people looking at my nails and i think i should tone it down a notch.

Polka dots!!!

Its been well over 3 weeks since i last posted anything but not to worry, i am back. Today i have more than one mani from the 'vaults' to share with you. I did not come up with these designs. 

The polka dots mani i did for the 31 day challenge was just too basic and i didn't really like it. I think i used way too many dots so this time round, this is what i did:

Obviously the first pic shows a neater manicure. I like the colours there. The second pic....i don't like. And thats all am going to say about that.
