Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge Day 3: Warm vs Cool

For the warm vs cool prompt for the challenge I decided to do a gradient. I really love how this turned out.

The colors I used are: Zoya Sooki, Sally Hansen Crushed, Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow, China Glaze Def Defying, China Glaze Electric Beat, and China Glaze Gothic Lolita.

I then stamped over it with KleanColor Metallic Jungle and Metallic Pink using MoYou Sailor 03. I topped it off with NYC in a New York Minute Top Coat. But I wanted to see what it looked like matte.

And this was the final version after two coats of NYC Matte Me Crazy and one coat of Orly Matte Top. Didn't go as matte as I wanted but I still like the softening of the gradient, especially on my ring finger.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge Day 2: Jewel Tones

The prompt is Jewel Tones so I chose to make my nails into jewels that have a star burst in the center. It's a really simple but elegant mani. This shows it without top coat.

I started with two coats of KleanColor Metallic Purple. I then stamped using KleanColor Metallic Fuschia, using an Essence stamping plate. Added NYC In a New York Minute top coat! There you go, jeweled nails.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge Day 1: Achromatic

Another challenge? Yep, Let's see if I can make it through this one! It's for all of February with some pretty awesome prompts. If you need info or want to join check out Gnarly Gnails.

So today's prompt is Achromatic. Huh? Had to look that up. "Designating color perceived to have zero saturation and therefore no hue, such as neutral grays, white, or black" (source)

Ah yeah! Greys! Perfect! Now what to do. Hmmmmmm. Well, interesting enough with my recent med changes I got put on Zoloft. My sister said aw, you're the sad little bubble rock guy. Yep, that's me!

Here is my Achromatic Zoloft guy. Look, he's anxious and sad. But isn't he still cute! Hahahaha! I hope this doesn't offend anyone. But he fits, achromatic are greys and blacks and in depression that's how you feel, and darkness, and sadness, a heaviness. So I thought it fit, and he's cute!

I used Essence Romeo (two coats) and a black sharpie. You can see I goofed a bit on his face but it's ok, it adds character! :) And check it out, I have a light box! Purdy pictures huh!
