31DC2015: Streaky Rainbow Nails

Rainbow Nail Art

On to the rainbow nails! This one’s always a nice treat for me as typically I steer clear of multicolour combinations. This style is a play on my streaky watercolour look using a flat nail art brush (much like this one). I didn’t thin out the polish as much as shown in the video because I wanted the brush strokes to be more visible.

For The Nails…

I used Barry M White as my base colour, let it dry thoroughly, and painted on the colours with a flat nail art brush.
Those colours are
Red: OPI Cinnamon Sweet
Orange: NYC Sunny Manhattan
Yellow: NYC Lexington Yellow mixed with Revlon Buttercup
Green: Sally Hansen Grass Slipper and Kriston 10
Blue: Kriston 52
Purple: Lacquer Lab Ultra Violet

The Lacquer Legion Glam: Lace Trim Nail Art

The Nailasaurus | The Lacquer Legion Glam | Lace Stamping Nail Art

For today’s Lacquer Legion Challenge, Glam, I knew I wanted to do something lacy. Depending how you wear it, lace can be seductive or demure but either way it’s definitely Glam! At first I thought it would be a great idea to freehand something but I quickly chickened out of that and started looking through my stamping plates to see if I had anything suitable. I decided on Konad Plate M71 to give my nails a neat lace trim.

If you’re posting your Lacquer Legion mani today, don’t forget to use #LLGlam and share it on the Facebook page!

For this nail art, I used Lacquer Lab Dita as my base. See what I did there? *winky face emoji*

I stamped on the lace pattern from Konad Plate M71 using W7 Black.

For the red details, I used Rimmel Heart on Fire with a small nail art brush to fill in the gaps.

It’s all topped off with a coat of HK Girl top coat.
