31 day challenge - polka dots

I went with some Tour de France themed nail art - polka dots for the King of the Mountain! I used OPI's I Just Can't Cope-acabana and Celestial Cosmetic's Snow Clouds, stamped with Mundo de Unas Red and black using plates Born Pretty's BPL-006 for the dots, MJ's JR-29 for the text and Uber Chic's Hipster-01 for the bikes.

31 day challenge - rainbow

Rainbow nails! I LOVE this look. A rainbow nail foil from Born Pretty over Ulta3's Glamourpuss, which is one of my favourite silver polishes. I used a mix of PVA glue and water as a glue for the foil, which I let dry to clear before applying the foil. I worked fairly well, although I really should grab some actual foil glue at some point. I topped with Picture Polish's glitter base coat/foil top coat combo and the foil stayed beautifully shiny. I top coated with my usual quick dry over the Picture Polish and it still looked great. Wore well for the one day I had before the challenge moved on.

31 day challenge - metallic

#31dc2016 - today's #nailart prompt is Metallic, so I painted my nails with Revlon's Metallic - perfect name match! Stamped with plate BC-10.

I also took this photo showing off the top with the name. Bit of fun composition!

31 day challenge - black&white

Black and white - featuring my right hand! After trying to use the clear jelly stamper on my left hand, and not getting a good transfer, I tried to do a decal - as usual, it wound up getting some little air bubbles. Might try reverse stamping at some point this month. Anyway I finished off the mani by using my normal Messy Mansion stamper on the right hand and it turned out so much better! But so awkward to pose the right hand haha.

I used Chrome Girl nail polishes for this - they're themed for the Pittsburgh Penguins! ❤️ The white is 'Just add ice' and the black is 'Drop it!'. The black is great, nice and opaque and very easy to use. The white however was a bit too runny. This is three coats, which I finished with a matte topcoat. I used another place off eBay, which is completely unnamed.

31 day. Challenge - violet

I did some stamping for this but decided I liked the plain colours better with the contrast in texture. Kleancolor's My My Sapphire for the middle two fingers, and Ciate's cream polish in Talent Scout for the index and little fingers.
