Tri-Polish Challenge: Teal, Grey and Lilac #1

This challenge has been going on for well over a year now, and all good things come to an end and this is the last month. The idea is there are three colours pre-picked and you find those three colours in your stash and use them in some kind of nail art. For the grey I used Sally Hansen's Dorian Grey, the Teal is ELF's Teal Blue and the Lilac is MUA's Frozen Yoghurt.

For this one I did a gradient using all three polishes, I used Barry M's Hologram Hexagrams as the glitter and I used a lightning shaped sticker for the accent nail and for the black I used Essence Black is Back.

Nails: Lela Rose AW 2014 Inspired

I find inspiration everywhere for nails and so finding it in fashion isn't something new. The particular inspiration I used was a dress from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2014, and a Lela Rose dress.

SIMPLES: Splodging

The Crumpet has a challenge going, to help teach nail art from the simple to the master.

So week 9 is upon us and the task to master is a technique called 'splodging' which is something created around two years ago by The Crumpet herself! What I like about this technique is that it is so easy and pretty much impossible to mess up. Here are my examples:
