31 Day Challenge : Day 23 : Inspired By A Movie

I had so many ideas for this one, but I was finding that the designs would be too intricate to translate to my nails. It was time to simplify and have fun.

I am pretty sure these need no introduction. In case you have been living on another planet for the last 19 years, they are Toy Story inspired.

Even though the design itself is simpler, I used much more polishes than the song challenge. So here goes :

Rimmel - White Hot Love, Coral Romance & Mind The Gap, Victoria

NYC - Prince Street & Lexington Yellow

Constance Carroll - Neon Green

Ciate - Palm Tree

Barry M - Denim

Bourjois - Santal Opulent

And red, white, black & silver acrylic paint.

I like it when a plan comes together, and it does look way better than my 2 second doodle ;-)

I am always happier when I doodle out my design first, I should really remember to do it more often.

Please have a look at the rest of the girls doing the challenge.

31 Day Challenge : Day 19 : Galaxies

I have done galaxies before, but I wanted to do something a bit different this time. My attempt with special polishes (Picture Polish - illusionist & altered state), didn't quite work out, so I returned to what I knew.

Excuse the bad photo, but I was trying to highlight the glitter "stars".

I used a sponge to add the lighter colours, all at the same time, over a base of Barry M - Black Multi Glitter.

The other colours were,

NYC - Lincoln Square Lavander & Blue Sky

Revlon - Midnight Affair

Models Own - White Light

Barry M - Shocking Pink & Diamond Glitter

 

After my standard galaxy base was dry, I got out my acrylic paints - black, white, red, orange, yellow, green and silver - to add some space stuff.

My arty skills are limited, but I just went for it, and again, I resisted the temptation to put in too much.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And don't forget my little green alien...... And that's how I did my galaxy nails, a little bit differently.

I am so not looking forward until tomorrow. It is water marbling...... Let's see if I can get a proper pattern out of it for once.
