The Tri- Polish Challenge: Day 3, Holographic Glitter & White Flowers


Hello everyone!



This manicure was inspired by the purple and white stamped nails in this Vintage nail art made by A Lacquered Affair. I had the same stamping image, and the silver version of the holographic glitter that she used, but other than that I used other polishes. So this looks different from her nail art, but I got the idea from it.





What I used:

As you see, I used purple, and green on the accent nail. So I used only two of the Tri- Polish colors today. I made a gradient on the tips with H&M 'Jo Is In The House'. The other polishes were applied on the entire nail. I took photos after each stage, but now I'm just showing the end result. The list is written in the order the polishes were applied.

Base coat
Linda Johansen Nail Candy: Lilac Lilly
H&M: Mint Madness
H&M: Pink bling bling
H&M:  Jo Is In The House- used here, here, and here
Konad SP: white
Stamping plate: BM- 312
IsaDora: #769 Mother of Pearl
INM OutTheDoor: Northern Lights Hologram Top Coat "Silver"- used many times
Top coat- between some of the layers & on top.






Here you see the IsaDora shimmer better:




This was supposed to be posted on Day 4. First I tried to make a skittlette. Then I tried to paint roses. And when I failed, I covered the roses with purple, and stamped roses over them, but the stems looked bad... I don't know why I think everything is easy before I start. So now I'm trying to find out what to make for Thursday. Something with silver or something black? And now the index finger nail broke again... and the ring finger nail on the other hand broke yesterday...






And below you will find the other manis for Day 3!

My entry to the Rejoice! nail art contest: Accent nail



Hello everyone!

This is my entry to the Rejoice! nail art contest. To read about the competition, the rules, and see all the entries, click  here.

Taylor´s theme is: ACCENT NAILS


Nail polish used:


GOSH: base/ top coat
Hello Kitty by H&M: I love candy (purple)
Accessorize: Magic (purple glitter with some pink/red glitter)
+ silver rhine stones
+ 3 heart shaped rhinestones

I put one coat of "Magic" on top of  two coats of "I love candy", except on the ring finger. On the accent nail I made a line of silver rhine stones on the tip of the nail, and put three hearts on. I chose hearts that has nearly the same color as the pink in the glitter, and "I love candy" because its color is nearly the same as the purple in the glitter. And below is the result. I used top and base coat, and also used it as glue. The first photos are taken before top coat. I did not manage to get the right color on the photos. Both of the nail polishes are supposed to look purple.
