30 Day Nail Challenge Day 6: Violet

by  •  • 0 Comments

It is day 6 of the 30 Day Challenge, today’s colour is violet or purple. I really like the way the stamped nails turned out, I think it looks like peacock feathers. I also happened to capture the less than pleasant part of peacocks: poop! Yes that index nail looks like bird droppings. Lol I tried to cover up the base colour I used (purple) with a black and white glitter, unfortunately the clear base in the polish let too much of the undercoat through and I over did it a tad. Oh well live and learn!

What do you guys think of the bird poop mani?

For this look I used:
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Posh Plum
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Golden-I (stamping)
Maybelline Color Show Sea-Quins
Hard Candy Black Tie Optional
Revlon Girly
Seche Vite Top Coat

30 Day Nail Challenge Day 5: Blue

Here is my fifth manicure for the “Challenge”, it is blue and since I received my new Winstonia nail plates I couldn’t wait to use them. (Jumps up and down like a schoolgirl!)

And, yes my dear reader you saw correctly: NEW NAIL PLATES!!!! They are made by Winstonia and I ordered them here. The mustache and glasses stamped really well, I was a bit worried, sometimes the designs with larger surface areas to transfer can be tricky. I used some Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear to stamp the designs, I find the thicker stuff better for stamping.
So here it is, what do you think?

I love the mustaches and glasses, they remind me of police officers. The thumb nail colour has round glitter in it the matches the blue sparkle of the darker nails. I have never met a glitter I could resist!

For this manicure I used:
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Breezy Blue
Revlon: Gold Coin (stamp)
Essence Colour & Go: Date in the Moonlight
Maybelline Color Show: Sea-Quins
Seche Vite Top Coat

30 Day Nail Challenge Day 4: Green

It is now day four of the 30 day nail challenge and today’s colour is green.

While I wanted to do a totally new mani I just couldn’t bring myself to get rid of my accent nails from day 3 (I really loved the gingham effect of the stamping) so, instead of taking it all off I added some stuff to it. So after Izzy-fying it with a new accent colour and green stamping, I added a blue racing stripe with some dots (this will def make my nails look faster! Lol! Race car joke alert)

30 Day Nail Challenge Day 3: Yellow

Hope everyone had a good Easter holiday! It is always nice to have time off from work.
This is the third day of the 30 Day Nail Challenge and today the nail colour is yellow. I struggled with this one too, I had originally done a navy blue dotted accent nail but it was an epic fail.
