Nerd Nail Challenge: Star Wars

I haven't actually watched Star Wars, so finding inspiration and actually knowing what the characters look like took some effort.

Tri-Colour Nail Challenge: Red, Green and Yellow #3

This is the fifth month of the Tri-Colour Challenge Again I don't think I need to explain the details. If you need more of an explanation then click here. I attempted a little something with striping tape today:

These are the three polishes I chose for this month's challenge; Barry M - Passion Fruit, Color Club - Twiggie and Color Club - Almost Famous.

Nails: Monkey See, Monkey Do - Lilac French Animal Print

When I first saw this over on Colores de Carol I was completely inspired to have a go myself. All I did was swap the light blue for light purple.

Avon - Street Beige
Barry M - Prickly Pear
Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
Models Own / WAH - Black Nail Art Pen

Sunday Stamping: Over a Beige Base

Base Polish: ELF - Innocent
Stamping Polish: Kleancolor - Metallic Sapphire

Swatch: Ylin Mood Changing Polish - #7

This is a 'mood changing' polish, that said it changes colour based on temperature. I have another one of these polishes, in the shade 15 which is purple and pink. This particular polish is blue when warm and purple when cold, as I have long nails it gives a French manicure look to the nail where the length is colder than the nail bed.

This is two coats of the polish with a topcoat, I think that three coats would be ultimate opacity. I ran my fingers under the warm water tap and got this colour on my nails;

And this is the colour which happened once I ran my fingers under the cold water tap;

Nails: Gradient Ice Cream and Cupcakes

This year I really seem to be doing a lot of gradient nails, really easy to do and looks good. Today I have stamped a full nail image over all of the nails for a simple but hopefully effective look.
