40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Black & White + Skittles

Hello, lovely people!

TGIF! Today is Friday and you know what it means! Yes, this is the day where a bunch of nail artist girls from around the world present you the 40GNAI!

The prompt was black and white with a pattern assigned to each participants. Mine was skittles!
I just want to clarify something, I am not a skittle person. I like my nails to be the same or if I do a landscape that they come together as a whole. Sooo, I don't know if my skittle is pretty or original because I don't do them usually.

 

So here it is. My black and white skittle!

 

 

 On my pinky is a coat of Clearly Spotted by Color Show Maybelline over a black base. For the middle and the ring finger I used some vinyls and create lines and geometric patterns. My index was handpainted to create a tile pattern (but it looks a little bit like drunk squares haha). Finally my thumb is just black, because I love black nails and I do what I want, nah.

 

(Sorry for the cat hairs.. They are always stuck on my nails and I never see them before I look at my pictures on my computer u_u")

 

So what do you think? Win or fail? :)

 

Happy polishing!

Inspired By: SimplyNailogical's Neon Holo Jellies Skitttle

Hello!

Lately I bought the Neon Galaxy Set from Beyond The Nail (because of SimplyNailogical haha) and I was dying to do her neon holo jellies skittle.

I started by doing a clear to black gradient on my nails then applied a coat of the neon holo jelly. I was little bit impatient and not careful enough so it all smeared and it was a disaster. We couldn't see the gradient anymore! I wanted to do this mani too quickly so I guess this is my fault.

The next day, I started over with a white to black gradient, let it dried thoroughly and then, I applied a thin coat of different jelly on my nails. HALLELUJAH! It worked! I waited a few more minutes and went over the part where it had the white part of the gradient (I don't know if it makes sense haha) and applied a second coat of jelly.

It was really easy to do, I swear. Only a traditional gradient and two coat of holo goodness in jellies. I had to use all of my new Beyond The Nail's polishes, because they are so pretty!

 

The colors in the bottle don't really show the neon-ness, but you'll have to trust me, they are BRIGHT!

 

A shot of Mr.Thumb because we don't really see him often.

You see that holo sparkle. Me likey!

I hope you liked this mani. t was totally inspired by @simplynailogical, so all the credits go to her for being awesome and creating such cool manis!

Happy polishing!
