Spring Challenge 5: Rainbow

Howdy ladies,

Tonight I am a few mins late but it is done and I do like the way it turned out and I hope you do as well. Spring Challenge 5 Rainbow.

Tools:

• Simple Pleasures: Purple
• JLB: NL 01
• BB Paris: Key Lime Pie
• Sinful Colors: Hazard
• Color Club: New Bohemian
• Gems
• MASH nail brush

Here it is...

First I chose my base colours that were colours from the rainbow.

I then used a brush to add t triangle to the edge in an attempt to make it look like the colours are leading from one nail to the other.

I then added some gems to the tip of the triangle to give it some pizzazz .. hope I pulled it off.

That's all folks I hope you liked what I came up with.

Spring Challenge 1: Love & Life

Hi everyone...I was supposed to post this yesterday but my day got sooooo busy I couldn't even post it, and the funny thing is that I did my nails from Thursday night. But with further delay here it is My first in Spring Challenge by Purpler Glitters.

The first theme is Love and Life, the colour combination I chose was Pink and Orange.

Tools:

• Bundle Monster Plate: BM 03 
• MASH Plate: m 63
• JLB 04
• Confetti: Conga Line
• Nina Ultra Pro: Fuchsia Rage
• Shades of the Season: Glitter Pink
• Konad Stamp and Scraper

Base Colour:

This base colour was a beautiful light colour, however it was the first time using this brand (JLB) which was not very smooth but I made it work, don't think I'd buy this brand again.

I saw this pattern and decided to use it from my MASH plate set m63. I used the Shades of the Season Glitter pink and i thought it came out sooooo lovely.

I then added these cute little hearts from my Bundle Monster plate BM 03 using Confetti's Conga Line which is a lovely shimmery orange. This came out very cute.

Ok this is where I went wrong, u added the additional heart with wings using the same Bundle Monster plate which I do think was a bad decision using the same Confetti Conga Line. I then use the Nina Ultra Pro: Fuchsia Rage to fill in the heart(another bad decision.) 

Here is the finished product with the flash.

All in all I love the fingers but not the thumb, I think I took it a little too far.

Anyway, that's it for now...see u for the next Spring Challenge on the list.

Beauty secrets base coat

Beauty Secrets Acetone

Oh So Wet top coat

I have already used the top coat, base coat and the new acetone (not pictured here). The base coat seems to go on nicely, so does the top coat which is quick dry that I did notice worked well, but when it came to having that wet look I wanted it did not live up my expectations at all but a good buy nonetheless. 

When I did my nails after I bought the new acetone I was using my old acetone (Equate Acetone I bought in Wal-Mart) to clean up at first and I had found that my brush was getting stiff and sticky no matter how I wiped and soaked it in the acetone I had, then something in my mind told me to try the new one, and when I did, OH MY! what a difference it made. It was as if the stickiness and stiffness dissolved. On top of that it cleaned so easily and smelt better then my other acetone.

Hope you enjoyed my rant and spending,

Kelly-Ann.
