40GNAI - 3 shades of orange/red + Watercolor

Hi!

First of all, I want to say that the mani and the pictures were a nightmare to do. Sorry for that. I tried everything but nothing works. UGH.  I hate that.

My personal prompt was watercolor and it looks nothing like that on the pictures. I am sorry, but you'll have to believe me.

Disclaimer: Do not look if you don't like fails. haha.

 
Oh, I had to take my pictures outside the light box too, because the setting/lights were horrible. Not much better I admit.

 
I tried an outline thinking that would be cool. Eh. Nope.

 
Overall, that was a complete fail. Hope next week goes better.
 
Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Animals

Hi, people!

Today's prompt is ANIMALS and, at first, I didn't have a clue at first. So many possibilities..!

After looking at some inspiration on Internet, I decided to do a character from a kid's movie!

Dory and her squishy (plus a few jellyfishes)!

 
She looks a little bit funny, but I liked her anyway lol!

 
Dory was painted with a mix of polish and acrylic paint and the jellyfishes were painted exclusively with white acrylic paint. I should have a pink undertone to the jellyfishes but I didn't have a pink jelly and I was shot on time, so. Yeah.
 


The gradient was so flawless, I LOVED it. You know the feeling when the gradient is just per-fect. Hmm. Satisfying, right?
 
More jellyfishes :)
 
Hope you liked it!
 
Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Pink+Lilac + Water Marbling

 
Hello, hello!
Today's prompt was Pink+Lilac and my personal prompt was Water Marbling/Spotting!
 
Disclaimer: For some reasons, the colors in the picture are NOT color-accurate.  I really use a pink and a lilac, but it show more coral-y and purple/blue.
 
 
Anyway. I did some abstract watermarbling with the new Zoyas (Aster & Laurel*I think*) from the Petals collection ! 
 
Oh yeah. I scratched my WM when I tried to remove my latex. Oops. And I was having one of those days when everything goes wrong so I just rolled with it.
 
 
I love the finish of Aster, kind of metallic, kind of shimmery. Me likey!


You can see more clearly my "accident" on the picture. I was trying to hide it/show my thumb cleverly, but it was an awkward handpose so I went with something a little bit less awkward. :P

Also, my nails were so long when I did this prompt! Since then, I filed them down a bit and I am currently trying some gel soak off polish from Madam Glam, so expect a review soon :)

Hope you liked it!

Happy polishing!
