    Day 19: Galaxy Nails

    28th October 2011

    For the 19th day of our challenge, we all had to create some Galaxy Nails. I’ve done some of these in the past (see here and here) and I love the look. You really can’t get them wrong! Rie and Cris both agree with me today – they’re so much easier than they look. 
    So if you’re looking at these pictures and thinking you want your nails to look like this but doubting your ability, DON’T! Just grab a sponge, some nail polishes and have a party on your nails. I promise it’ll look great.
    Rie and Cristina have created some gorgeous galaxy nails today.

    Here are the polishes I used in order, left to right.

    When you look at these mismatched colours lined up, you wouldn’t think they could combine to make such a pretty manicure.

    Sorry today’s post is a little later than usual, it’s been a very busy and fun few days for me. 
    I’m loving this blue/green polish that I picked up in the pharmacy for 99p! It’s one of those shades that’s stuck right between blue and green so it’s been a hot topic of debate today. What do you think?

    Day 17: Glitter

    So today we come to Glitter manicures. Glitter and I have a strained relationship. I go through phases of loving it and at other times I just detest the stuff and get the urge to throw away every polish I own that contains glitter! The main reason for the hatred is the hassle it takes to remove it. I always use the foil method for removal these days to minimise any stress!

    Day 16: Tribal Print

    I’ve been dreading this day for a while. I love tribal nail art but had no idea how to come up with a decent design myself, however, once I forced myself to sit down and actually do it, the ideas just kept coming and I am completely in love with this design!

    The black detail is all created with acrylic paint which has allowed me to get the crisp lines that I know I couldn’t have achieved by using black nail polish. At the moment I only have black and white acrylic paint but I think I’m going to have to look out for some more cheap pots in a better range of colours.

    You should go and see what Rie and Cristina came up with today too!

    Day 15: Delicate Print

    Here we are at the halfway point and I’m still loving the challenge!

    A friend of mine visited Canada this month and I asked her to pick me up a bottle of Sally Hansen Whirlwind White. Since I saw it on Marta’s blog here, I’ve had a lemming for it and Marta reminded me to ask my friend to grab me a bottle. So now I finally have a really, really good white stamping polish and it really is a weight off my shoulders!

    Don’t forget to check out Cristina and Rie‘s challenges too!

    Day 13: Animal Print

    Who doesn’t love a good animal print nail huh? This combination of colour and stamping is the one I used to wear the most before I started blogging, but it’s been a long time since I wore it. I was going to try something more adventurous today, like freehanding a leopard print, but laziness took over and I pulled out my stamping plates!
