ABC Nail Challenge: L is for Leaves

Another week another nail art challenge, this week it is L and so I chose to do autumnal leaf nails...

Base: ELF - Smoky Brown 

Stamping Polish: Ebalay - 004 Rose Gold

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 019

Swatch: Ciate - Mini Mani Month Day 1 - Sundance

Colours: Teal Blue and Golden Yellow steel balls with hex shaped glitter, in silver and orange.

I actually don't really like the hex glitters, they just don't really work with the balls. They stick to the sides of the bottle making them difficult to get out, they gather in the lid too. Struggle to stick to the nail as well because of the shape of the balls getting in the way. The blue and yellow work well together though.

 

Nails: Movember Nails

Base: Ebalay - 004 (Rose Gold)
Stamping Polish: W7 - Black

Stamping Sunday: Over Blue

Adventures in Stamping has a challenge today, and that is to do some sort of stamping over a blue base. This is what I came up with, shame the base polish is so busy as it distracts from the stamp.

Base Polish: W7 - Mosaic
