40GNAI - 3 shades of orange/red + Watercolor

Hi!

First of all, I want to say that the mani and the pictures were a nightmare to do. Sorry for that. I tried everything but nothing works. UGH.  I hate that.

My personal prompt was watercolor and it looks nothing like that on the pictures. I am sorry, but you'll have to believe me.

Disclaimer: Do not look if you don't like fails. haha.

 

Oh, I had to take my pictures outside the light box too, because the setting/lights were horrible. Not much better I admit.

 

I tried an outline thinking that would be cool. Eh. Nope.

 

Overall, that was a complete fail. Hope next week goes better.

 

Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Animals

Hi, people!

Today's prompt is ANIMALS and, at first, I didn't have a clue at first. So many possibilities..!

After looking at some inspiration on Internet, I decided to do a character from a kid's movie!

Dory and her squishy (plus a few jellyfishes)!

 

She looks a little bit funny, but I liked her anyway lol!

 

Dory was painted with a mix of polish and acrylic paint and the jellyfishes were painted exclusively with white acrylic paint. I should have a pink undertone to the jellyfishes but I didn't have a pink jelly and I was shot on time, so. Yeah.

 

The gradient was so flawless, I LOVED it. You know the feeling when the gradient is just per-fect. Hmm. Satisfying, right?

 

More jellyfishes :)

 

Hope you liked it!

 

Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Pink+Lilac + Water Marbling

 

Hello, hello!

Today's prompt was Pink+Lilac and my personal prompt was Water Marbling/Spotting!

 

Disclaimer: For some reasons, the colors in the picture are NOT color-accurate.  I really use a pink and a lilac, but it show more coral-y and purple/blue.

 

 

Anyway. I did some abstract watermarbling with the new Zoyas (Aster & Laurel*I think*) from the Petals collection ! 

 

Oh yeah. I scratched my WM when I tried to remove my latex. Oops. And I was having one of those days when everything goes wrong so I just rolled with it.

 

 

I love the finish of Aster, kind of metallic, kind of shimmery. Me likey!

You can see more clearly my "accident" on the picture. I was trying to hide it/show my thumb cleverly, but it was an awkward handpose so I went with something a little bit less awkward. :P

Also, my nails were so long when I did this prompt! Since then, I filed them down a bit and I am currently trying some gel soak off polish from Madam Glam, so expect a review soon :)

Hope you liked it!

Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Kids TV

Hello, hello!

I know, I missed last week prompt. BUT. I did it and then it went horribly wrong so I have to do it again. I'll post it when I redo it, but in the meantime, it's a new week in the 40GNAI and for once I'm on time! Yeah!

I haven't watched a kid show for a very long time, so I don't know what's "on trend" right now.. so I decided to do a mani inspired by the Powerpuffs (it was playing when I was younger.. does it still play?)

My mani is pretty simple and minimalistic...I think.

My job is really draining my energy and I feel like they ask us to be Wonder Woman or to have superpowers. It's crazy. I hope it calms down soon. So I guess it was an obvious choice, right?

My inspiration for the mani is this picture of Blossom :)

 

 

 

 

It has been a reeeeeaaaallly long time since I have done a detailed character, so I am pretty pleased with how Blossom turned out on my nails. It's so tiny, I thought I would never get the details because I was shaking so much lol.

I didn't do the two others, because it was way too long and I wanted to keep it simple. Plus, Blossom was my favorite. Did you watch the show? Did you have a favorite? :P

 

A close up. She looks weird ahah. I think I'll stay a little bit more far so she doesn't look so "shaky".

 

I hope you liked it!

 

Happy polishing!
