Yeah... I didn't like how this one came out.  =(

Green ~ Bettina Mojito

Inspiration: the flag of Belaruse ( Sorry Dmitry -_- )

 

I like challenge #29 though, so... tomorrow.

31 Day Challenge - Day 10: gradient

Hi.  =)

This challenge has taken me to try mani art that I have meant to try before, but never actually have.  The gradient is one such tecnique.  I had a vision of charcoal-holo-tips and I'm unsure if I suceeded. 

I'll let you be the judge.  Please comment and let me know, k?   K!  =)

I did a ton of things to get this mani.  This was the final version:

Orly Au Champagne and Color Club Revvvolution

For this final version I just painted my two colors on the make-up sponge & dabbed/rolled over the original polish, then hit it with topcoat.  The gradient blend got softer; better, not perfect but enough that I could stand to wear this mani for a few days.  
 

31 Day Challenge - Day 7: black & white

Hello!  Super-fast post today! 

For black & white nails I have an old mani, one which I did before I even started my blog.  As it turns out, now it's simply perfect for the black & white challenge:

Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips in Numbskull

NOTD: Red, white and oh-my!

Hi!  Happy 4th of July-- wherever you are! 
Me?  I'm on holiday in Florida!  Having BBQ and a beer (hopefully ;-) with my family,
so this post was previously plotted, for your enjoyment.

Today I have for you a "vintage" mani.  This is one of the first --if not *the very* first-- mani pic I took of myself.  The "accent nail" and the "multi mani" are all the rage now. But last year, in my circles, not so much.  People around me thought I was silly.

Behold - 4th of July mani, circa 2011:

Maybelline Acoustic Azure with Revlon Galaxy (navy/silver glitter)
Milani Red to Tango and Essie Blanc topped off with that mini,
no-name white glitter by Hot Looks! (which I'm holding)
