40 Great Nail Art Ideas - 3 Shades of Purple + Stamped

Hello!

This week, the theme was 3 shades of purple and my personal prompt was stamped.

Some of you may know.. I can never get a good stamping for the life of me. So I thought : "Hey. Let's make some decals instead!"...YEAH...uh. Not so much.

My three purple were Daddy Issues (trust Fund Beauty), Rapunzel (FUN Lacquer) and Purple Monkey Dishwasher (Pretty Serious) if you want to know before we begin.


 
I went with only two fingers because. (Maybe because I knew what would happened...Mh.) I think my major problem with stamping is I have CURVED nails.. -_- Like, really curved nails so when I apply the decals it always "wrinkle" at the tips..


Anyone else have curved nails and have any advices? PLEASE, help a sister!

I hope you liked it anyways even though it was a bit of a fail haha. The intention was there... :P

Happy polishing!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Things That Fly

Hello!

It's the moment of the week we all know as 40GNAI! Yesterday's prompt was Things That Fly. So much possibilities! So much ideas. I had few ideas but finally decided to choose something a litte bit more "special" for the prompt.

Before we begin, I must warn you that my index nail passed away Monday and I didn't want to file all my nails down so she looks weird now haha. Traitor.


UFO. YEAH. Do you recognize it?  It looks funny, but I really like the little space ship :)

 
If you get this reference, I love you and can we be friends?

 
A clearer shot of my spaceship :)
 
I hope you liked it and I'll see you next week!
 
Happy polishing!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Pale Blue Base + Squares

Whoa!

It's been a while!... 2016 is here, so I thought I'd get back on track and do what I was supposed to do the last two weeks (woops).

Today's prompt is pale blue base with a special pattern. You remember, each one of us has a different pattern.. Mine was squares!

The original idea is coming from Packapunch, I think. She did it with different colors, but I chose to stick with the blues..

 
So here it is! A pretty simple looking mani, but it took some time and a little bit of my sanity haha.

 
I almost never use striping tape. I remember now why... IT TAKES FOREVER.
 
Ahem.
 
I used striping tape and kinda make a grid and then filled some space and tried to remove all the tape before the polish dries.

 
I used a bunch of polishes for this mani. My base is Daydream (Enchanted Polish) and the little square were made with I Cannoli Wear OPI (OPI), Spirits of the Moors (A-England) and Mojito (Beyond the Nail). I really like the combination, do you?
 
I hope you like it. I'll see you next week!
 
Happy polishing!
