For Day 6 of the challenge, we have to create Violet nails but I have always taken that to mean purple in general. Nevertheless, I’ve embraced it today and even used a polish with Violet in the name!

To create this harlequin look, I created my own decal using a stamping plate and stamper. I picked up the diamond design from MoYou Hipster 08 with BK Matte White and left it on the stamper. Next, I used a nail art brush to fill in the diamonds using a few purple shades. After a few minutes, I coated it with a thin layer of clear nail polish and once that was dry, I peeled it all off the stamper in one piece and placed it on my nail. There’s a video tutorial here if you want to see the method in action. The other chevron design is stamped from the same plate with The Lacquer Lab Ultra Violet.
