31DC2015 - Day 4; green - Green drip drop nails

Here's my green nails for the 31 day challenge. As a base I used an El Corazon Polish (swatch here) and matched it up with some green dripping. I really like this nail art type, and a funny thing is that I had such problems with it 2 years ago, but now it's feels simple, even on both hands (even if cindy always will be less good). Hope you like it too. :)

Polishes used:
El Corazon - Bloggers - BL-5, Alla, Alla nails (swatch here)
Essence -
R de L young - Black

Also I'd like to make a shout out to some of my blogger friends joining; Traces Of Polish and My Nail Polish Online. Also you'll find them and more people in the inlinkz below. Also a big thank you to Chalkboardsnails for hosting this challenge. <3

Blue promarker rose nail art

Here's another nail art with the Born Pretty Store stamping plate BP-73. I did a more detailed review HERE (like exact measurements of the images etc) but here's some more inspiration of how it can be used. :)

I had my blue metallic base from yesterday. Then I choose a rose floral design with thin-lined-flowers and then used a Promarker pen in blue to fill in the empties. This is just so super simple, like a child coloring book, yet it looks very crisp and "advanced" because of the stamping. Super happy with this look. :D

Lakobotan Franken Polish - Party Starfish, swatch

Today I'm showing a nail art that I'm really happy with, like enormously. I've been practicing stamping for a while and it helps to practice, I believe that I've learned a lot, so you guys who haven't tried or who are struggeling, keep trying! This might not be perfect but I'm getting there. :)

First of, I used Lakobotan's franken polish - Party Starfish which I showed HERE as a base and then stamped this floral pattern from the Born Pretty Store image plate BP-73. As a final embellishment I added a golden rhinestone bow which I've bought from ebay.

And in natural light where the shine shows:

Born Pretty Store image plate - BP-73

About the BP-73 with itemID: 20790:

The cost is $2.99 and it has well etched pattern which is easy to pick up with the stamper. (I have two stampers, both has silicone, and come in two different hardness and size).
This particular image plate has 4 small rose floral objects (matching the full size ones, giving opportunities for accent type nail art's) and four full nail patterns with a rose floral theme. Two of the full nail patterns are shorter than the other two (which annoys me a bit, I'd prefer if all four of them where of the longer size for my thumbs (which I have to double stamp when they get to my preferred length, which works but I'd prefer not to). But I guess for most people that wont be a problem, the shortest are 15 MM x 19 MM and the longest are 15 MM x 22 MM.

As usual feel free to use my 10% discount code NGL91 for items which aren't on discount already at the Born Pretty Store site.

White disappearing leopard pattern nail art

A late post with today's nails. I'm not sure what to call it but White disappearing leopard pattern nail art will have to do. I guess it could be called negative space nail art in some ways too. This was quite simple to do, first I did a gradient using a nude jelly and a jelly white and an opaque white. Then I freehanded the leo spots on top and embellished with clear white rhinestones. Sadly the photos are after 2-3 days of wear so they aren't as fresh as I usually want then to be but I liked them and wanted to show you. :)

Polishes used:
Sally Hansen - Sweet Tulip
R de L Young - Coconut Milk
Essence - Wild White ways
2 MM clear rhinestones

NCC presents: watermarble cabochon inspired swirl needle dragging nail art in black and white

August's theme is inspired by jewelery in the Nail Challenge Collaborative. A theme which I've been looking forward too, I really like jeweleries/bijouteries and I like having a nice manicure as well as "jewels" on even though I don't always show them in the photos, I usually take them on after.

My first jewel of choice to be inspired by is a lovely cabochon which my sweet friend Lakobotan made and then gave me with our latest nail swap. The cabochon she gave me is two-sided but I decided to focus on this almost psychedelic black and white water marble side.

Onto the nail art, I'm not the best on water marble, even if I sometime can pull it off. Combined with a lack of time while I did this, I decided to make a needle dragging nail art and I decided for the swirl. I've done a black and white swirl needle dragging nail art before too, but this time I divided the black and white into 4 pieces instead of 2 pieces. I'm really happy for the beautiful jewelery and I think my matching nail art goes well with it, not too literal but still quite matching. :)
