31DC2013 Day 16 - Tribal Print

This is my first time doing tribal nails. I must admit at first I wasn't even sure what it meant! I looked it up on google, and just decided to wing it - and the result is before you! 

I used:  Life white nail polish 237

Essie - A Crewed Interest (I'm surprised how useful this polish is)

Careline 385

To create the tribal print itself I used black & white stripers by Nitza (Israeli brand), and also Sally Hansen black & white nail art pens. You really have to wait for the polish to try when you use these, otherwise it will smudge and will look odd. 

Thank you for visiting :)

31DC2013 Day 14 - Flowers

Day 14 for the challenge - flowers! I wish I could do one stroke flower, but I don't have any acrylic paint at home. I really should get some soon. Anyway I tried my luck in drawing some flowers myself according to this tutorial, I think I did better than the last time but still not perfect. Gotta keep trying though right? 

So, I used two base colors by Gade, 390 Party Mint & 392 Blue Wish. Both lovely pastels, great formula, a bit thin, but not to much. 2 coats were enough for full coverage.  

On Three of my finger I added stripes with Nitza white striper. On the two others, I drew the flowers using KIKO 281, KIKO 376, Barry M - Raspberry & KIKO 346 for the leafs. 

One last thing - do you think the pictures in today's post looks better? I used my boyfriend's camera and it looks so much better I love it ! I'll try to use it more often :) 

Thank you for visiting as always :) 

31DC2013 Day 13 - Animal Print

And another day with a design I love. I really love this challenge, cos I have so many design with animal prints but this is the first time I use them. I mean I love them, but I didn't have the courage to try them until today, and they look so good :) all of them! combined & on their own. So let's go into details: 

Index finger: applied 2 coats of life white nail polish (Israeli brand), and stamped the zebra pattern from DRK-A stamping plate, using Moyou black stamping polish. 

Middle finger: applied 2 coats of China Glaze - Kalahari kiss, and stamped the giraffe design from Bundle Monster plate BM313, with Essie - don't sweater it. 

Ring finger: applied 2 coats of wow cosmetics 404 (Israeli brand), stamped the leopard design from DRK-A stamping plate with Moyou black stamping polish. I added a bit of coloring inside using a dotting tool with KIKO holographic taupe. 

And last one - pinky: 2 coats of KIKO 328, and stamped a design from DRK-A stamping plate using Moyou black stamping polish.

That's it :) Thanks for visiting as always :) 

31DC2013 Day 12 - Stripes

So, after yesterday's design that I didn't really like, today's design I love! :) 

I love the way this came out, the colors, the angles. Ans this is my first time doing something like this! 

I was really long I must admit, but the result is stunning so it's worth it. 

The base color is KIKO 345, a dirty light mint green with a cream finish that I adore. This is such an amazing shade. Can't wait to use it again. I applies 2 coats and waited for it to dry completely. 

Then I placed striping tape on each finger, applied one thick coat of the gorgeous (!!) A-England - St. George, and quickly pealed the striping tape. After cleaning, I applied a top coat - Essie good to go. 

Thanks for visiting as always :) have a lovely evening! 

31DC2013 Day 11 - Polka dots

Hello! yesterday I didn't have time to write anything at all for my gradient look. Sorry for that! 

I'm so exited to start the second part of the challenge and make it more interesting! hooray! 

For the polka  dots nails I wanted to create this mini-mouse sort of look. I think the Idea was better in theory but the inaccurate are disturbing me.  

I used as a base the amazingggggg Inglot 331 - a lovely creamy dusty pink which I adore, and I'm going to wear it so much this fall! I applies 2 coats of this one. With a striping tape I painted half of the nail diagonally with the perfect red nail polish by KIKO 236. And with a simple white polish I painted the dots & the diagonal line. 

I think sometimes when I try to create these really cool & original designs something comes out wrong. 

I think for tomorrow's design I'll try to keep it simple! :) 

Check out other cool polka-dots designs!
