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.

Sally Hansen - Dorian Grey

ELF - Teal Blue

MUA - Frozen Yoghurt

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:

La Femme - Skyblue Cream
Barry M - Guava
Barry M -Greenberry
Miss Sporty - Pop Fiction
Jessica - Holographic Top Coat

Sally Hansen - Delphinium

Sinful Colors - Verbena

Barry M - Indigo

Ciate - Cabaret

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 415
Stamping Polish: MoYou Nails - Special Nail Polish - Black

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 308 (BM308)

This stamping plate is from the third Bundle Monster set, from 2012. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is useful, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms which I have been known to do accidentally in the past with other stamping plates.

There are 3 full nail images and three single images. All of these stamped well and judging by my designs below, the doughnut and cupcake are my favourite images!
