Sat-ART-Day Challenge: One Stroke Mani

First ever attempt at doing a one stroke mani and while it worked to a certain extent I think I need to work on my technique! This was the challenge for this week's sat-ART-day nail challenge on Crumpet's Nail Tarts.

Base Polish: China Glaze - Grape Pop

Swatch: Rimmel Metal Rush - Purple Reign

Purple Reign!

 

 

Opacity: Thee coats
Colour: Flits between red, purple and slightly blue

ABC Nail Challenge: K is for Kiwi Fruit

The challenge this week is the letter K on Llama Nails.
This week I went with Kiwi Fruit, anyone else eat the  skin / fur? Are you even supposed to?!

Green Polish: Rimmel - Camouflage (830)

Stamping on Sunday: Matte

Matte was today's challenge, and this is what I came up with. The matte topcoat I have never seems to leave a smooth finish. It has cracked in places which is not a good look!

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 208
Matte Polish: ELF - Matte Top Coat

Stamping Sunday: Chosen by Someone Else

This week's challenge, on Adventures in Stamping, was to do something chosen by someone else. My husband chose the piano keys stamp design to use.

Base Polish: Ciaté - Speed Dial
Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 205

Swatch: Barry M - Gelly Hi Shine - Blackberry

Finish: Cremé

Colour: Deep Blue
Opacity: Two Coats

Brush Type: Standard

How Much: 10ml

Sat-ART-Day Challenge: Vampires

Today the challenge which was set over on Crumpet's Nail Tarts was Vampires.

Swatch: Barry M - Special Effects Gold

No one seems to talk about crackle nail polishes anymore, things have moved on to the next thing.

This particular crackle is Barry M's Instant Nail Effects in Gold. I personally don't usually opt for gold but over the black I think this could be something wearable over the festive season, especially over New Years time.

Opacity: Really thick which makes for a great crackle which works
over any colour base, really pops with a top coat
Brush Type: Standard
How Much: 10ml
Cost: £3.99 

Instructions are now handily printed on the side of the bottle rather than on a cardboard note tied around the top.
