I have been MIA as of late... working 2 jobs and having the need to change my nails so often really takes a lot of time! Below are my entries for Erica's Nails and more 10 day nail art challenge. This is the criteria:
Day 1-Favorite Color
...is sadly
Black but my second is pinky/purple, so this is Quo by Orly Purple
Daydream, and wet n wild black creme stamped over Julep's Kate.
Day 2-Favorite Animal
...is my dog Jersey, she's a
reverse brindle boxer, however, I do not have the skills to create her
on my nails so I have chosen my favorite animal print. This was done
with Arabella's Raspberry ice (its a brand a local salon uses and its
great)-a rust shimmer, the white is Julep's Kate, and the leopard spots
were done with Cult Nails Nevermore and Raspberry Ice.
Day 3-Favorite Season...
is the Christmas season,
and in my house it runs from the 3rd week in November until the first
week of January. My color theme is red, white and silver...this
manicure represents that and the stamped star looks just like my tree
topper. The Red polish is a local Hawaiian brand that I picked up in
Honolulu last year called Island Girl and the name is Old Lahaina, and
the shimmery/silvery white is CHI Ceramic Nail Lacquer's Snow Angels in
Central Park (I needed 4 coats for this color to be opaque. I also added
a red rhinestone in the center of the star.
And Today is Day 4-Saran Wrap
This was done with
Julep's Leah as a base, 2 coats for opaqueness and then CHI Ceramic Nail
Lacquer in Subway to Wall Street, a concrete grey creme color, was
brushed on and a scrunched up ball of saran wrap was used in a dabbing
method to remove some of the grey so the green shows through. I love
how it looks marbelized (yup, that's a new word I just created :)
This really has been very fun so far... Everyday I look forward to heading over to Erica's blog to check out all the entries! Head over there by clicking here, let me know what manicures you like and perhaps are inspired by to try on your own nails!
So glad you have been able to keep up with the Challenge Jodi! :D
