31DC2015 - Day 3; yellow - NCC presents: Cute kitty funky french

Today I have a two for one post, both the first Nail Challenge Collaborative post with the theme Pets and the 3rd day for the 31 day challenge which is yellow. So it will be long..

I asked a friend about this nail art, about what animal she saw. She responded "cat! ..or tiger, but definitely more cat ". So with that I'll stick with that and let's see this as cats. It reminds me of a stuffed animal cat, with the eyes like that.What do you think?

About cats as pets, I've never had one of my own, my parents don't like them and when I grew up kids in school which had cats had scratch marks all over their arms. When I asked why, they said that it was like that having a cat. If you play with it, it might scratch you. So I got skeptical towards cats, it was first after I met my boyfriend who laughed at me when I told him why I was so distant from his fathers cat. Then he explained that a cat would only scratch you if you treat them wrong and oh how much I've cuddled with his fathers cat since then. :) I'm also open towards getting a cat, me and my boyfriend have a dog, which I adore, but we both would like a cat some day too. <3

Anyhow, not much to say about the nail art itself. Just freehand and some dots and stripes. Not my fav animal nail art, but still okay.

Simple heart texture nail art in white and purple

Hi, today I have some pics of a nail art that has been laying in the archive for quite some time. I showed you the swatch of Lavender Star in the beginning of this month, but these where done months ago. I really like the idea of texture nails + nail art so here is a try with freehand. Both the white and purple are texture polishes, even though I realize that I could have used a regular white too. A fail I think is that the hearts got very thick, and even though they dried they never looked as textured as the rest. Not my favorite nail art ever, but maybe you'll like it anyhow. :)

Polishes used:
Rival de Loop - Lavender Star
R de L Young - Foo Whiters 

I'd also like thank all you lovely readers who look in here every day, and also you commenters. That means a lot to me! <3

NCC presents: Skull nail art

Time for my second nail art for this month's Nail Challenge Collaborative theme; inspired by jewels. Today I've been inspired by one of my favorite necklaces, a super cheap big skull pendant necklace I got from eBay. (Hoping to get hold of a "golden" version of it too.)

I'm actually not that happy about the whole of this.. I did a double stamping on my accents + holo tc and then kinda negative space painted the skulls. But doesn't they look sloppy? Was thinking of redo everything, but bailed out.. I'm really happy with the black non accents with the studs though. Thoughts?

Here's the necklace.

Here you see the holo in the skulls a bit more.

Forgot to photograph the "Polished used", but here goes:
Essence - Black is Back
Essence - Wild White Ways
Dance Legend - Holographic top coat
Dance Legend - Creep

NCC presents: The incredible Hulk abstract nail art (June theme)

Basically I didn't blog so much in June, but still did my nails, and also did the nail challenge collaborative theme for June; Super hero's and villains. But as I said, this went unpublished so I'm publishing them now instead. First up is an Incredible Hulk nail art. Not because I'm that into the Hulk thing, but because it fit the manicure I was wearing. This is more of an abstract version and sadly I had to photograph them with flash. It's not my all time favorite nail art, but I must say that purple and green are nice together. :)

Polishes used:
R de L young - black
Kleancolor - TLC
Dance Legend - ?
Kleancolor - Neon Purple

NCC presents; french and paris inspired nail art

De la lune et retour. To the moon and back. The theme for the Nail Challenge Collaborative for July is Travel. I just love travelling and visiting new places. I have such a huge "bucket list" of places I want to go to. The moon is not one of them, and Paris I've been to a couple of times. But I do like france and wouldn't mind going there more times too.

For the nail art I decided to make something nude/pastel like with black details, feminine but still not too sugar sweet. So, pink lines, freehanded little lace thingy's, freehand text and Eiffel tower.  I which I would have made the "retour" a bit smaller, since the "R" isn't visible from all angles. Hope you like it. :)

Polishes used:
L.A. Colors Art Deco - Baby Pink
R de L Young - Black
Rival de Loop - 502

NCC presents: Poison ivy nail art

The theme for June is Super Heroes and Villains for the Nail Challenge Collaborative. I decided to make a Poison ivy nail art. A female villain found in Batman, which want to protect the nature etc. I decided to make a simplified version. And I ended up liking my non accents the best actually, and overall I'm not that happy with the manicure. I think it was because I was in such a hurry. Anyways, here it is. What do you think?

China Glaze - Scattered & Tattered, swatch
Kleancolor - Poppy Field
Pure Ice - Wild Thing swatch will come)
Essence Satin Matte nail polish

NCC presents: Spring flower nail art

Something happened, like life and I got behind in NCC and blogging. However, the manicures where done in advance, I just didn't have time to post them, so this is still for the May theme; Spring Flowers. I had an idea of making a pastel blue base, did some saran wrap with white and added matte glitter , then I wanted tiny dandelions. The last part wasn't as successful, it could basically be any yellow flowers. However the outcome feel a bit spring like at least. Not my fav nail art of all time, but here it is:

Polishes used:
Kleancolor - Pastel Teal
Kleancolor - White
Angelica - ?
L.A. Colors Art Deco - Mint Green
Sure Promise (Yellow fine liner polish)
