Sat-ART-Day Challenge: Colour Blocking

Colour blocking nail challenge!

Finish: Shimmer / Metallic

Colour: Gold

Swatch: Ciaté - Mini Mani Month Day 11 - Angel Wings 090

Opacity: Three coats were used but could have done with another one

Colour: Pearl

Winter Holiday Challenge: Candy Canes

I don't like how these turned out, but they ended up better than the gingerbread men nails I did.

Swatch: Ciaté - Mini Mani Month Day 10 - Twilight 072

Finish: Glass flecked

Opacity: Two coats

Colour: Black base with golden flecks

Swatch: Ciate - Mini Mani Month Day 9 - Prom Queen

The pearls inside this caviar mix are; fuchsia, navy and silver. In this particular mix there are silver and fuchsia hex glitter pieces too. I think these colours all work well together however I really can't get these pieces to work for me, they stick to the sides of the bottle, funnel and the paper I use to put excess back in the bottle. Problem is they don't roll like the balls, I'd of preferred the mixes without the he pieces as the struggle to stick to the nail as well.

 

Winter Holiday Challenge: Snowflakes

Today is the first of eight nail challenges for the winter holiday challenge over on Crumpet's Nail Tarts. Snowflakes were the nails for today and this is what I came up with. Unfortunately the blue holographic base didn't show up too well for the photos.

Base Polish:

Revlon - Cloud

Kleancolor - Holo Blue (135)

Stamping Polish:

Stargazer - Silver Chrome

Stamping Plates:

Bundle Monster - BM14, BM325

M59

Top Coat:

Miss Sporty - 010

ABC Challenge: M is for Man

I may be pushing it a little bit this week but M is for Man, as in Snowman!

Barry M - Blueberry Icecream
Sally Hansen - Lavender Cloud

Swatch: Ciate - Mini Mani Month Day 8 - Enchanted Rose

Finish: Standard glitter in clear base

Colour: Red

Quite festive, two coats of Enchanted Rose over Ciaté Mistress.

Swatch: Ciate - Mini Mani Month Day 7 - Dangerous Affair

Finish: Creme
Colour: A warm red, a tone or two darker than in the swatch below
Opacity: Three Coats needed

Ciate: Mini Mani Month Day 6 - Bumble Bee

In this pearl mix are yellow and black steel balls, which I really like. It actually suits it's name of Bumble Bee. No hex shaped glitter or anything else, just the same sized steel balls.

 

Swatch: Ciate - Mini Mani Month Day 5 - Mojito 019

Finish: Cremé

Colour:  Not Mojito green but green all the same. Not a neon!

Opacity: Three strokes were needed otherwise it was a little streaky
