Vegetable nail art in green

Yep, you read the title correct, here's a first in my blog; vegetable nail art. I've used some Born Pretty Store water decals which as usual contain of 10 sets of nails with small motives. On the one I picked out there is tomatoes, chili, cabbage, cauliflower and pea shells as seen below. I wanted to create a green manicure so I decided to clip out the peas, cauliflowers and cabbages and the rest I'll make something fun of another day. ;)

Tomato Red Pepper Water Decals Nail Art Stickers Decoration

First of all you can see my nails are shorter than before, I decided to cut them down since the constantly where breaking at the nail bed and I was fed up patching them with tea bags. It's not my favorite length but I know some of you like this length better and I'll just play with what I got until they are healthy and long again. :)

Onto the nail art. I started with a green creme polish on all my nails, then I added a white glitter green crelly polish on my thumbs, pointers and pinkies. I also decided to attach 2MM neon green square metal studs on top. And then I created a gradient from green to white on my middle and ring fingers, which are my accent nails. After everything was dry I placed my water decals (I've done a tutorial HERE) and then painted top coat on top. If you haven't tried water decals you should, they are really simple to use. This is also btw my contribution to Green Wednesday. :) I'm really happy with the result, the motive feels different and I also love anything green. ;)

Stripes in white over pastel green

Did some white stripes over my Manhattan - 71S manicure and below is the result. As I said in that post, 71S is indeed green, but very pale and graytoned and I thought that the white stripes maybe would enhance the effect. I don't know about that but I do like this manicure. For more and probably greener manicure's you can check out Green Wednesday. :)

Polishes used:
Jordana Pop Art - Contemporary White (have you seen how miserable my bottle looks? Must buy a new white striper)
Manhattan - 71s

Disappearing stamping gradient in white and green

Today I'm showing a disappearing stamping gradient in white and green. I first painted my nails white and then made a subtle green gradient from the tip. After that I stamped a pattern in white with MoYou's special stamping polish. As you can see it seems like the stamping is fading out. Maybe the green should have been more intense but I'm still very happy with the result.

As I mentioned yesterday, this week has a theme for showing awareness for depression which Vacker&Underbar has organized as United in Green, which also concur with today's Green Wednesday. So if you like green you can check out all the ladies in green at the inlinkz (at the bottom of this post).

Polishes and materials used:
Kleancolor - White
China Glaze - Gaga For Green
MoYou Special Nail Polish (White)
MoYou Stamping Plate N20
