Spring Challenge 2: Flowers and Stripes

HI everybody!

So excited about today's submission for the Spring Challenge by Purple Glitters. This challenge was stripes and flowers and the colour combination I chose was pink and green.

I really hope you like what I came up with.

Tools:

• NYC: High Line Green
• Kleancolor: Popping Green
• Milani Jewel FX: Fuchsia
• Wet n' Wild: Dreamy Poppy
• MASH dotting tool

HEre is the base colour which is the NYC High Line Green. And please excuse the smudge on my thumb that you will see throughout. :-D

Next I used the Kleancolor Popping green on 2 fingers.

Added the Milani Fuchsia... not too sure if I had liked it at first but in the final product I fell in love with it.

HEre is the finished product, which you can see I added the tiny flowers using my MASH dotting tool witht he colour Dreamy Poppy by Wet n' Wild.

HEre is the final product with the flash (which makes me look extra white...ugh)

I am soooo happy with the way this turned out. I hope you enjoyed this as much I did.

Feeling Patriotic

Hello lovelies,

I really like my nails today, when I did this I was feeling very patriotic. As many of you would know I am Jamaican and you already know what colours this is going to involve. I was inspired by Nail Polish War's 'For Your En-Zoya-Ment'. Great nail artist to follow.

Here are the tools I used:

Kleancolor: Black

Kiss Nail Art Paint: Gold Glitter

NYC: High Line Green

Milani: Yellow Whiz

Hard Candy: Matte-ly In Love top coat

Beauty Secrets: Base coat

MASH dotting tool

First of all I hate cleaning up black nail polish (Kleancolor: Black). The first picture is what it looks like before I clean up...or my attempt to clean up HA!

Then I add the yellow dots (Milani: Yellow Whiz) using both sides of the dotting tool just to get different sizes.

I then repeated the same thing except with the NYC : High Line Green.

Even though that completed the flag colours, it felt incomplete, so I decided to use some gold glitter to put some real gold in it (the colours are after all really black, green and gold). 

I decided to try my new Hard Candy: Matte-ly In Love matte top coat and I must say I do love how it came out. However I guess I didn't really wait long enough for the dots to dry and some of the dots dragged just a little bit but not noticeably that I had to rub it off. 

So I guess my one advice is to let it dry a little longer to ensure it is completely dry before applying the top coat.

I hope you enjoyed this entry... I did ;-)

Take care,

Kelly-Ann.

Luck of the Irish

Howdy yall!

 I know I'm late with posting this but I honestly haven't had the time. But now it's here and that's all that matters...right? :-D

Okay, so I did an Irish theme for St. Patrick's Day, and I thought it came out pretty good.

Tools:

• Sally Hansen: Hard as Nails Hardener Clear
• Shades of the Season: Clear
• Shades of the Season: Green Glitter
• Kleancolor Nail to Toe: Popping Green
• NYC: High Line Green
• Rimmel French Manicure Pro: French Lingerie 
• Bundle Monster Plate: BM03

I liked the way this looked on its own but I figured I'd continue with the original idea and do a little more. add some glitter and pizzazz! Hehe (NYC High Line Green for tips)

So I added the design from Bundle Monster Plate design (BM03) (Kleancolor Popping green for design). Wait for everything to dry well and applied the Green Glitter to all green areas.

I Hope you enjoyed this design as much as I did.

See you next time,

Kelly-Ann.

New Polish AGAIN!

Hellooooo,

Seriously, I think I have a problem now, I keep buying nail polish when I honestly don't need it. But as usual I just can't help myself. But anyway went to the supermarket and ended up buying nail polish. My reason for it is that I needed nail polish for St. Patrick's Day and Easter. LOL Best reasons ever.

In order from left to right: Milani Jewel FX: Fuchsia, Milani: Yellow Whiz, Revlon: Sassy, and NYC: High Line Green.

I cannot wait to try them out and do my St Patrick's Day and Easter experiments!

See you soon,

Kelly-Ann.

They are (left to right):

• NYC: Sidewalkers
