31 Day Challenge, Day 31 - Honour Nails You Love

For today's challenge, I decided to recreate some nails from More Nail Polish. More Nail Polish is one of my favourite nail blogs - amazing manicures (did you see the version of Nolan's Ned Kelly art for the challenge this year? Stunning!), handy swatches and reviews, and she uses a variety of techniques. She's also Australian, which is nice - I enjoy it when bloggers talk about popping down to Bunnings for some acetone rather than, say, Wal-Mart, a store that doesn't exist in Australia. But not only that! She's a fellow Canberran. Even her references to the weather are comfortably familiar.

Back in January, she posted some a manicure titled "Bright yellow reverse stamped flowers", which I loved. Coloured in stamping? It looked great!

From More Nail Polish - http://www.morenailpolish.com/2014/01/bright-yellow-reverse-stamped-flowers.html

To recreate this look, I used the same yellow polish, OPI's I Just Can't Cope-acabana. The white is OPI's Alpine Snow, and I used Bundle Monster's plate BM03 for the flower pattern. The nail studs are from Born Pretty.




So that's the challenge! I missed the first few days though, because I didn't know it was on, so I'll be doing days 1-3 over the next three days. I got my new Mundo de Unas polishes in the mail today (!!) and I'll definitely be using them for the Yellow day - a manicure that has also been inspired by a song. Stay tuned! ;)

  2. OMG - I saw this in the inlinkz and I thought, hey I remember doing nails like that once. And then I came here and saw you chose a mani of mine! Awesome. Thank you. These look fantastic. So now my question is why wasn't I already following you and why haven't we met up yet!

    1. I really enjoyed doing these nails! A great design. I'm a pretty new blogger so I'm not surprised you're not following me, but I would love to meet up!

  3. These are nice and bright for the warming weather. I do love that OPI shade of yellow. Been wearing it on my toes since my fingers have been kinda, well, booked out ;)

    1. They're so summery! A great shade, they really hit the bullseye on this one.
      I am looking forward to choosing my own nail polish designs once the challenge is over. Good idea to put it on your toes :)
