#31dc2014 Day 6: Violet

Well this is the first day of the challenge where I couldn't use the idea I had planned because when I took the photos the purple I had used came out super dark, it looked black so it was back to the drawing board for these. When in doubt...do a gradient! 

Polishes:

• Picture Polish - Mad Magenta
• Picture polish - Wisteria (lilac purple)
• Zoya - Yummy (blue)
• China Glaze - Liquid Leather (black)

I painted on the palm trees with a little brush. 

Julsie and I spent Saturday coming up with a few manis for the next couple of themes so you'll get to see her super talons all decked out!

#31dc2014 Day 5: Blue

Ooooh shinies! My first try at turquoise stone nails. I am really happy with the results. I just love how the polish spreads out in the water when you spray it with perfume, it's so delicate!

Polish:

• China Glaze - Wait n Sea (turquoise) Such a gorgeous colour! 
• OPI - DS Radiance (silver)
• China Glaze - Liquid Leather (black)

I cant bear to take these off tomorrow for Day 6. Turquoise is one of my favourite colours and this China Glaze polish is my fav turquoise polish. Its from the Offshore Collection which is available here. The stones are glass crystals and are available here.

#31dc2014 - Green

Argh! Blingasaurus Rex Attack! This terrifying species of T-Rex lurks in the lush glittery forest, ready to bitch slap you with his painfully short arms and  tear your eyes out with his fabulous long nails! His glittering skin sparklier than a teen vampire in the sun, he throws glitter in the air then runs away to redo his nails! 

Polishes:

• China Glaze - Running in circles (green glitter)
• Essie - Absolutely Shore (sage green)
• I stamped the dino by mixing Konad white with the sage polish. I mix the colours on the plate image with a little paint brush, then scrape it off as normal and stamp away.

This technique is goes by a couple of names; pool nails or mosaic nails. It's done by dripping polish into the wet base colour underneath. 2 thick coats of base colour, then drip little blobs of the other colour with the polish brush. It spreads out into cool little shapes. These nails make me happy XD
