Fight Club nail art

No. 23 in the 31dnc is "inspired by a movie" and I decided to create a Fight Club nail art. I made it quite simple, with one black side and one white side symbolizing the two "sides" of the main character(s) and some red splatter symbolizing some blood as you might have guessed. ;) Enjoy!
Almost forgot, at nail art sunday there is more nail art. :)

Polishes used:
Nordic Cap - NP12
Nordic Cap - NP13
Kleancolor - Blood
Jordana Pop Art - Black Mark
Jordana Pop Art - Contemporary White

And let's finish up this post with a movie quote:

Black and white skittelette

Nail Art Sunday at Lelack and today's theme is "skittelette". When I first heard about the "new thing" (a couple of months ago) and learned what it was I was a bit surprised, because it was something old but just with a new fancy name, the old accent nail(s) was re-vamped. But with that said, I love manicures with accent nails and skittelettes has become a trend which means many people does it, which means that I have an easier access to nail art I like. I don't like all skittelettes out there though, a few are too incohesive. With that in mind I decided to color match my skittelette to make it super-cohesive. I think I'm quite happy with the result, it's black and white, and that always work even though I still wonder if it wouldn't have been better with black creme nails.

The rules of a skittelette apparently are to have two accent nails with some sort of decoration/design, one glitter or texture nail and two creme polished nails in any order even if the above seems to be the most common skittelette order.

Polishes used:

Nordic Cap - NP12

diamond shaped metal stud rhinestones

What do you think about skittelettes? Are there any you don't like? Have you tried it? Did you like my black and white version? Looking forward to hear from you. ;)

31DC2013 Day 27; Jackson Pollock inspired splatter nail art

This was the only part of this challenge I had an idea on what to do before I entered this challenge; the prompt is inspired by artwork. And as I said I knew what I wanted to do and that was Jackson Pollock (even though he's not my favorite artist), mainly because I've been wanting to try the splatter technique which is using a straw to create a random splatter pattern by blowing polish onto the nails.  It was actually less messy and easier than I thought. I chose one of his paintings and fell for one called Autumn Rhythm because of it's color scheme where the base is beige kinda looking and the the splatter is in white and black. Here you go;
