31DC2013 Day 26: Inspired by a Pattern

27th September 2013

As I mentioned yesterday, I got my days in a twist this week so although it’s technically Day 27 of the challenge, these are the nails for the prompt for Day 26: Inspired by a Pattern.

While I was browsing Asos for inspiration for Day 25’s Fashion inspired nails I also found the inspiration for today – a grungy variation of the houndstooth pattern – on a t-shirt!

I started with a base of Rimmel Grey Matter and stamping on the houndstooth design from Bundle Monster Plate BM322 using BK Matte White.

To get the frayed look around the edges, I took a nail art brush then using Barry M White and Rimmel Grey Matter, I added lines over the sharp lines in the pattern going in the direction of the houndstooth.

Finally I topped it off with two coats of No7 Stay Perfect Top Coat.

These are the nails I will be wearing to The Nails Show on Saturday, provided they haven’t chipped/fallen off/been picked off by then because I might not get a chance to redo them before the event. Although it’s not like I’m gonna be short of nail supplies where I’m going!
I know that lots of you are going to the event and I can’t wait to meet you if you are gonna be there! I’m not exhibitioning in case some of you thought that’s why I was going. I’m just gonna be a regular Joe strolling around so if you see me, come say hi! I’ll try to wear something distinctive and I’ll tweet what I look like so I’m kinda easy to spot!

I wanted to do some of my designs that people have responded to best and that really marked milestones in this blog I’m kind of best known for; my studded nail, the gradient and now glequin honeycomb.

The base colour is A-England Galahad and I used Barry M Gold Foil for the gradient and stamping (Bundle Monster BM322).

My thumb is a ‘Nebula Nail’ and the extra polishes are Barry M White, Nail Pop Glamrock, A-England Saint George and NYC Starry Silver Glitter.

Testing, Testing…

My 2012 Bundle Monster plates came yesterday so as you can imagine, it was a very exciting day here! I didn’t actually get a chance to play with them until the evening though and even then I forgot to take pictures so you’re seeing a day old mani in the pictures – please ignore any chipping!

I was lucky enough to win them in the Bundle Monster nail art competition which is becoming something of an annual tradition! But after months of anticipation, the plates are finally available to buy on Amazon.com and the Bundle Monster website. I haven’t spotted them on Amazon.co.uk just yet. If you’re in the UK, I’m pretty sure you can still buy them from Amazon.com but there is a shipping charge and they’ll take a little while to get here. I’m sure they’ll pop up on the UK site soon though.

I went a bit crazy and just tested out some of the first designs that caught my eye. The plates I’ve used here are BM322, BM317 and BM306.

The base colour is A-England Galahad* and I stamped with No7 Poolside Blue.

UPDATE! The plates are now available on Amazon.co.uk!
