#31Nails2014 Day 7: Black and White - 2 - Flowers

Hello everyone!

My second black and white mani for Day 7 in the 31 Day challenge (#31Nails2014)  was made back in January, and finally I'm making a blog post about it.

I painted my nails white with IsaDora #603 Tip White (which is cruelty- free), top coated, and stamped the flowers on with Konad SP Black and two stamping plates from MoYou London; Pro Collection 07 (small) and 14 (XL).

Because of my small nail beds, I often have to buy the same image in both XL to fit my thumbs and in small to look good on the other nails. It's a little frustrating economically, but here it also gave me the opportunity to mix up the images so that I got the variation I wanted on the nails.

I don't remember if I used a top coat. I usually do. But because of the low winter light outside, I've probably had to use the Ott- lite, and then the manis look matte on the photos... Do you have any god suggestions for winter photography?

#31Nails2014 Day 7: Black and White - 1 - Giant Panda

Hello everyone!

I'm using an old giant panda manicure for day 7's challenge, which is BLACK and WHITE. (Actually I have one more black & white mani for NAILS Magazine's 31 day nail art challenge back in January) I made this when Xiao Liwu was about 6 months old. He's now two years and 3 months old. You can still watch him and his mother Bai Yun on the Panda Cam.

In the original blog post, Giant panda and giant panda cub water decals and videos, you can see one panda cub hand and one giant panda hand made with water decals, how to apply water decals, and some cute videos showing Bay Yun and the cub in the den, and his development the first half year. I also shared one more panda manicure that I had made earlier.

You will also find the details about the products I used, and links in the old blog post. The water decals were a gift from KKCenterHk.
