Gradient Polka Dot Nails

Still building up on my skittle mani.  I decided to add polka dots on top of my previous gradient mani for this look.



I really like the results. Its beautiful if i may say so myself. I used the same polish (Luron #) i used for the gradient to create the dots. Très simple.



Frosty Skittle graidient

I decided to give the gradient mani another shot after the 31 Day challenge: Day 10 gradient nails disaster. I just sponged Luron # (white) on top of my last mani. It still needs some work. I hadn't applied a top coat  which would have made a hell of a difference. Should have cleaned up too before posting but yea...i didn't. 




I love the frosty vibe it projects. I think it would be great for Winter.

HAPPY EASTER!!!
I currently don't have a camera in my possession (which is why i didn't post yesterdays' tri polish day 4 mani...but i'll post it some other time). Anyway, here is a pic i found on my desktop from last week i think. I modified it as shown in my next posts.



This is a more summery look. I thought the colours would be a little pale - pastel-like, which would be more in tune with the current season (Spring & Easter) but whatever, i'll try out the pastel mani some other time. 


Then again am in Kenya where we don't experience the four seasons. Right now we are getting into the long rains season. I should probably be rocking darker colours, the kind you would go for in Fall/Autumn.


I used B.O nail polishes purple #17, blue #04, green #12, pink #09 and from Luron yellow #110

Day 27: Inspired by Atrwork

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)

Day 26: Inspired by a pattern

Patchwork - that's what this pattern is called. 


This was actually time consuming, or maybe  it seemed to drag on forever because i was not in the mood to do my nails. I loved the outcome nonetheless and even got compliments! I think i did a pretty good job especially since this was my first attempt at a patchwork mani!

I used Dodwell #21 as my base & top coat,  Luron #109 (hot pink), Luron #110 (yellow), Luron #52 (black) and B.O #17 (purple). In this picture the purple came off as a blue and the pink doesn't quite look like hot pink. But you get the idea...you can use whichever colours you choose.

I absolutely love this mani and will be doing it again.

Day 3: Yellow nails

Oh lawd! Yellow? I need more time to get used to having this colour on my nails.



Once again i used 2 coats of "Luron" #110 and no top coat. I should inform you that you will be seeing a lot more "Luron" nail polishes. LOVE them!
