31 Day Challenge- Day 6: Violet

Quick post today guys. Today's color was violet and what can I say about purple shades that haven't been said before? It's a great color and the one I used today is no exception. Let me just say, that I shy away from free had simple because I'm not so great at it. Could I get better with practice sure, but with SO many other nail techniques out there I rarely have to bother. Anyways this is what I came up with.

It's kind of chain-link fence-ish. Right? For the base I used Pure Ice Purple Reign and the striping was done with Folk Art acrylic pain in 660 Metallic Pure Gold and Apple Barrel 20762 Pure Silver. 

Black and white is next so get ready: 

Paint Drips

While working at the new house today I remember a really fun post I saw a while back by Very Emily that would be so perfect for the remodeling we're doing right now. Miss Emily is a very talented girl from Belgium   who does lots of reviews, swatches and of course really spectacular nail art. Anyways the post I referring to tonight can be found here.

The colors I used are OPI My Very First Knockwurst, China Glaze First Mate and Essie Loophole. For some reason Loophole doesn't really translate well in these pictures, but it really makes the blobs pop off the base coat. 

Magnetix

Hey everyone, I've got some good and bad news. The good news is I just bought a house which is crazy and exciting and stressful all at the same time. The bad new is my move will be done over the course of several weeks starting now til mid September so my post may be a bit sporadic til I get my nail station set up. In the mean time I decided to brake out my magnetic nail polish and get to work.  To create the initial gold wavy pattern I used painters tape and some craft scissors.  I then filled in the tips using the actual brush from the China Glaze bottle.    

The following pictures are from my right hand (gasp!). Yes it exists. I couldn't decide if I like the black tips enough to repeat the process on this hand so I ended up leaving it alone. I think the gold pattern turned out much crisper on this hand anyways.  

For these nails I used Zoya Kendal, China Glaze Liquid Leather and Claire's Magnetix Gold.

Fresh New Start

Hi everyone, I'm pretty excited to be writing my very first post on something that I absolutely adore...NAIL POLISH! I've been following several different bloggers for a while now, for both inspiration and just to reveal in their general greatness. Now thanks to some summer down time and a gentle push from my boyfriend here I am. For my first couple of post I think I'll show my renditions of the some other very talented girls nail art. So let's get down to business. First on the list is missgoob who you can find on Instagram @missgoob and at her etsy shop. 

Ignore my packs of glitter in the background :)  

I fell in love with the design, and it didn't hurt that this mani was pretty easy to do. I used Orly Sterling Silver Rose, Chine Glaze Liquid Leather, an unknown silver I ordered off of delias, and Seche Vite to top it all off.
