40GNAI - Florals

Hello, hello!

Finally Friday! Yay!

Well, for some, at least. I was "in vacation" for the week and damn it felt good. I don't want to go back to work Monday, ugh!

Today's prompt is floral and I thought it was the time to try again with the stamping! I am happy to report that this time, it worked per-fect-ly. YAAAS, finally!

 

For the base, I used "Vintage" from Orly, a gorgeous almost neon turquoise. (On the site, they say it's a green mint, but I dunno. It looks more a turquoise to me).  It looks washed off on my picture. I know.

 

It was easy to apply, a little bit on the streaky side on the first coat, but the second evened out everything. Be careful to not overdo it, because it is kind of thick.

 

And for the stamping I used a plate from BornPrettyStore and stamped with a clear jelly stamper (the main reason it was a successful attempt!!)

 

The nail art is pretty simple, but I hope you liked it!

 

Happy polishing!

31DC version 2.0: Day 11: Flowers

Hello!
I told you, I'm already back! It's been a long time, huh?

(haha)

Soooooo. Today was day 11: flowers. I don't know if I was only feeling down or what, but I had zero motivation for this one. This weekend I wore 24 Karat Rose by Liquid Sky Lacquer and I was so not ready to remove this AWESOME polish. I just adore thermal polish. I always find myself looking at my nails, expecting them to change everytime I look at them. Plus, with the weather cooling a little bit, it is so much fun!

I was looking for inspiration and everything I found was deceiving. Too complicate. Too simple. Too much. Not enough. You know, one of those days?

I, then, decided to pick some colors I wanted to wear and make something pretty... This is the result. I ended uo doing some abstract flowers with a vintage vibe to them.

 
 

 

At first, I wasn't sure if I liked them or not, but now they're growing on me. Me likey!

31DC version 2.0, Day 1: Red

 Today is the beginning of the 31 Day Challenge! This year, I decided to take part of this big event in the nail art community. Last year, I was in awe with many nail ladies and the designs they came up with.

The version that I'll follow is the 2.0 version, created by @Willpaintnailsforfood, @thenailpolishchallenge and @wondrouslypolished. I like this version better. They will only post on Monday and Thursday, so you'll actually have time to think and admire your work for a longer time! Plus, I don't think it would have been manageable for me to paint my nails everyday. Yeah for the 2.0 version!

Day 1: Red. When I was looking for inspiration, the idea of the little girl and her balloon came almost immediately to my mind. My first idea was poppy nails, but I saw that on the day 11, that's the prompt. I really like how this design turned out. My skills at doing little design isn't perfect, but I hope that with the challenge I will get better!
