WNAC - January - Week 2 : (Scaled) Gradient

Hello, Reader!

For week two, the theme was originally gradient. SimplyNailogical decided to hijacked the theme and made it scaled gradient. Since I first did a scaled gradient, I have been wanting to do another again. Now was the perfect occasion to practice more this new-to-me technique!

I received Tuesday nailmail from NailPolishCanada.com and I had the perfect color combo. However one of the colors I chose was too jelly and wouldn't blend with the other :( I, then, went in my untried box and found something that matched exactly what I was going for!

 

 

Weekly Nail Art Challenge (WNAC) - January - Week 1: Flakies

Hello, Reader!

Happy New Year! I hope this year brings you everything you hope/want and more!

Like I said in one of my previous post, this year I want to be more involve in the nail art world. I want to try new techniques and be part of few challenges. I want to be better and I want to meet awesome new people. I like doing my nails and I like to have a goal.

So, for this first post of the year 2015, I decided to take part of the WNAC (Weekly Nail Art Challenge). @simplynailogical, @missbellatracey and  @kgrdnr on Instagram are the ones who started this challenge and it looks fun, so I will join this one for few prompts this year!

The theme for January is matte, so all the mani in this challenge must have something matte or be completely matte with a plus each week. Like, for example, this week is flakies...

MATTE ALL THE FLAKIES..!! - @mcpolish.

For my mani, I tried to do something original instead of just putting a matte topcoat over some random polish with flakies.

This is what I came up with:

Throwback: "Sailor" by Mentality Nail Polish and BornPrettyStore Water Decals

Throwback to my short nails!

They are so cute ahah. I think I'll cut them down after the 31DC2. I am kind of bipolar sometimes, like I loooove little nubs, but I think long nails are kick-ass. I live in a constant dilemma! :(

But, I think it will be time to start fresh!

Onto the nails now:
