Day 6: Purple

Hello! As usual, I seem to be creating nails and then messing them up with things they don't need. Still, I have fun doing it. Here are my latest creations:
This polish is called Lacey Lilac by Sally Hansen. It's a lovely shiny lilac color and the first matte color I ever owned. It's complimented (sort of) by a black line decal.

Day 5: Blue

I love blue. I don't think any of you will ever be able to grasp how much I adore blue. I particularly love the blue I am about to show you. The camera does not do the effect I tried to create justice. Sad, right?
The reason the nails look weird is because I put thin shredded glitter pieces on my nails. The shredded glitter does not show up on camera. The first polish is You're S-Teal the One by Nicole by OPI. It's a beautiful blue color and is certainly not teal. I don't understand why they reference it as teal when there is no green in it. If anything, it has a purple shimmer to it. In any case, I then put on Revlon's Galactic. I only used the shiny bits, not the dark blue obviously. The effect is pretty, but the texture is not. It feels very rough.

Day 4: Green/Teal

Have I got a treat for you! TWO nail designs for the price of one! Here is the one I did for the challenge!
The polish is called SaGreena the Teenage Witch by Wet n' Wild. It's a really nice green. I loved how deep it was. I added the little decal because I thought they needed it...but I think I was better without it.
This was a nail design done professionally a month or so ago. The green is Ivanka by Zoya. I love it so much! The decal is a little dragon fly made of gems. Here is a detail.

Day 3: Orange/Yellow

Okay, I tried to be fancy and complicated and...it turned out so WRONG. I was attempting to make my nails appear like fish scales. I like the look I created, but it was definitely not my finest moment.
Can't see the weirdness well enough? Here's a close up.
Okay, first I used Wet n' Wild's Sunny Side Up as a base coat. Then I used Wet n' Wild's 9.0.2.1.Orange. I dragged a pencil through it to create a textured effect. At this point, my nails looks like someone had chewed on them. To cover it up, I used Wet n' Wild's The Wonder Yellows. I don't know if it made it better or just cemented the fact that I fail at life. In either case, I actually wasn't too heartbroken. This was my first time at this and considering that, I did okay. I'll do better next round!

Day 2: Red

Alright, this time I had a very nifty tool for my nails! It is this little thing! It is a duo nail art brush. One part polish pen, one part thin brush. It is perfect for all your nail art needs! Mine is called Pink Chrome and it is cheap! I'll drop five bucks for this art pen any day of the week!
Look at that line! SO pretty! I love how smooth it comes out. Be careful though! It doesn't dry quickly!
The red polish is called Red Carpet by Sally Hansen. I love how gorgeous this polish is with the pink.

Tomorrow is Orange/Yellow and I think I have an idea!

Challenge 1: Pink

This is Zoya's Joy. It is a lovely polish with a holographic shine to it! I had this done at the salon, so that's why it looks so professional. I don't know the top and base coat used. I worked hard to get this angle. I hope you enjoy it!
