31 Day Challenge: Day 4 - Green

Hey guys!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Today is day 4 and it calls for green! I've had this idea in my head for a long time now and this was the perfect opportunity to do it.

I used China Glaze Starboard, Wet n Wild Black Creme, black and white acrylic. Chez Delaney plate A37
Looking at this manicure, I wish I used a lighter green. Perhaps next time!

Can I just add how much I am in love with these nails. They are extremely cute.

I feel like my other nails lack. Hmm time to brain storm some more.

The stitches look a bit boring. 

I really dig the way my green nails turned out.Hopefully, I can kick it up a notch!

See you tomorrow on Day 5 Blue nails!

Day 23: Inspired by a movie

Ok so I meant to post this yesterday but I suddenly got really busy.  I had a family emergency :(, then I went to dinner with friends, then my boyfriend and I had to dog sit. So day 23 of the 30 day nail polish is inspired by a movie. I chose Bram Stoker's Dracula, I love Gary Oldman.

So let me explain what I did.

On the index finger, I chose to do the lips of the girls in bed with Jonathan Harker.

The middle finger is the blood with Lucy get bitten or just the blood in the movie. 

The ring finger is sponged to look like a lot of bats in the night (does that make sense?)

and there is always only one that is in focus.

The thumb and pinky resemble the cobwebs around the castle.

What I used:

Wet n Wild: Black Creme

China Glaze: Phat Santa & Naughty and Nice

Aldo: Mardi Gras

Eyeko: Vampira Polish

Sally Hansen: Petal Pusher

Chez Delaney: A37

Again, sorry for the late post!

Until later my pretties!

Day 21: Inspired by a color

Ok ok ok. I am sorry for posting so late. Today was one of those days. You know, I did my nails, walked around the city, got completely side tracked. Anywho this is the third and last section of the 30 Day Nail Polish Challenge.

The color that inspired me today was It's Alive by China Glaze. Obviously Frankenstein came to mind because I am a huge huge huge horror fanatic. It was hard to photography this manicure but I tried my hardest.

Base color: China Glaze It's Alive (2)

Stamp color: Konad black

It's kind of hard to see the stitching. 

I love this manicure. Next time I do it, I will try placing the stitches in different places.

A better shot of it! Mickey looks evil!

Til tomorrow my pretties!

Day 4: Spiderman

Half freehand half stamps!!
I must say, I am getting more comfortable with doing freehand nail art. My hand is getting sturdier. I do admit, when I have to do it with my left hand, I want to throw in the towel. It tires me a lot. Odd, I know haha.

Spiderman's eyes came out a lot better on my right hand but I didn't photograph it. His eyes look very special here hahaha
I've been drawing a lot of influence from other amazing nail bloggers.
Does anyone has any tip/advice on freehand nail art?
