The Nail Challenge Collaborative-Flowers by Butter London

Finally!!!  Last of the flower theme.  I bought some new Butter London's this week.  I couldn't wait to try them out and I still had a few untrieds in my Butter London stash so I opted to do my last design using all polish and no acrylic paints.  I used the following....

Base-Cuppa
Leaves-Dosh
Flowers-Primrose Hill Picnic, Molly Coddled, Fruit Machine, HRH and Pimms.

The Nail Challenge Collaborative-One Stroke Flowers

I have found the perfect nude polish for me.  This is Barry M Lychee as a base.  I used some acrylic paints to add some flowers on the top.

The Nail Challenge Collaborative-Double Stamp Flowers

I worked on some business cards for a co-worker this week and really loved the design.  I decided to try and duplicate the colors and design on my nails.  It actually came out pretty good.  This is Milani White on the Spot as a base.  I used Bundle Monster plates to make some vines in Barry M Key Lime and then some flowers using ManGlaze Royal Matterimoaning.  It looks like wallpaper.

Digit-al Dozen Does Tape Manis-Sheswai Duo

Sadly, this did not photograph as well as it looks in person.  I used Sheswai Stoned as a base.  I used saran wrap to add Sheswai Totally and then taped off a triangle and painted on Totally around the outside.  No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get a good pic.  I loved the combination of the two colors though.

Today's post is short and sweet.  A simple gradient using Barry M Gelly polishes in Prickly Pear and Green Berry.

Digital Dozen Does Tape manis-Barry M Gradient

I am totally loving all the Barry M Jelly Polishes.  They are so shiny but opaque very quickly.  For this mani I used Barry M Key Lime and Blue Grape to do a gradient and then a reverse gradient on top of striping tape.  It came out pretty cool.  Sadly, I am going to work today with one hand like this and the other with only the initial gradient.  It still looks cool but incomplete.  I just ran out of time.

This is simple yet time consuming but it was my favorite of the bunch this week.  This is Enchanted Polish's Marge's blue Beehive topped with Zoya Ibiza.  I love the blue holo peeking through the grid.
