9 months. Thats how long i have been away from here. Moving along, since today is Valentine's day, am going to share with you whats on my nails right now...
Yep. Red nails. Nothing fancy. Keeping it classic. I've shown this mani before but here it is again. I used Luron nailpolish this time round.
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.
I know valentines' day was almost 2 weeks ago but i have to show you what i had on my nails on that day
This is also not an original design from me - i need to work on my creativity or lack of it. Anyway, I used Luron Nail polish (a french manicure sheer pink) # FB213 as my base, then drew one red heart on each nail, partially outlined it using black nail polish, and finally did the leopard print design using black and brown nail polish. I added a top coat as well.
Once again i'll put up multiple posts today. I finished doing the challenge and am so happy. It was beginning to get monotonous. After the day 31 post, i will share with you what i had on my nails yesterday so, read on...
Onto the mani. I did 'dripping paint' nail art.
I decided not to do anything intricate because i feel that i have been churning out some horrible manis. Anyway, the wierd thing about this one is that the 'paint' seems to be dripping updwards o-O This was my first time doing this mani so next time i'll do it the other way. The purple colour i used on my little finger is the one i used in my previous (patchwork) mani (where it appeared blue in the pic)
I haven't really started reading this book but i have read other books by Jeffrey Archer and i absolutely love them! Am actually in the process of building a collection of his books.
Welcome to my 31 day challenge which am so excited to finally start and share with you all. I hope you enjoy!
Day 1 is red nails so i chose this particular red. I applied 2 coats of it. I chose to forego the top coat since its coming off tomorrow anyway. I used the "Luron" nail polish #10
