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!

40GNAI - Spring

Hello!
 
Spring is finally here, but not really here where I live.
We had a mini snowstorm and are expecting another next week. Canada. *sight*
 
Anyway! The theme this week is spring and I thought it would be fun to do some girly floral nails.

I don't have much photo for this prompt because I thought I had good pictures and remove the mani, but there were some problems and it was too late to do it again. Oh well.
 
 
I used Bardot (Picture Polish) for my base and used Hudson (Cirque), Azalea (Zoya) and I Cannoli Wear Opi (OPI) for the abstract flowers.

 
Super girly and pretty simple. But I liked it! What do you think?
 
Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Three Shades of Green + Tie Dye

Hello!

Hope you are all well today :) It's sunny where I live and that makes me sooo happy! Winter is almost over. FINALLY.

This week's prompt was three shades of green and my personal prompt was tie dye. Oh boy. I never did a tie dye before and the first I had to do it was with an unusual color scheme.

My first try was not so successful.. I looked at a hundred pictures before I finally understand how to do a tie dye. Believe or not, but there a right way to do it if you want the right effect!

 
An other challenge was to find three green polishes.. I don't usually go for the greens, luckily I seem to have few of them in my stash.

 
Well, I am not sure if this looks like a tie dye, but in person it's a pretty cool effect.

 
So, what do you think? Win or fail?
 
Happy polishing!
