26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Mixed Tape

This is the 11th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

The challenge this fortnight is Mixed Tape.

I was really stuck on what to do.  This is what I ended up with, The two accent nails, I first applied the gold polish and let dry.  Once dry, I applied some striping tape and went over it with the pink.
Result :)

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Red and Pink - Skittlette with Water Decals

Well it's now the 8th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

The challenge this fortnight is Red and Pink.

I've also incorporated a gradient which makes this manicure a skittlette.  And I had to add a few water decals, I used pink and red rose decals which match the manicure colours perfectly.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Halloween In The Wrong Colours

Challenge number 2 - Halloween In The Wrong Colours.

This was hard to think of in terms of colours, as most colours can be used for Halloween, green, orange, blue, black, white, red and purple! The only one I could think of was pink not really Halloweeny :)

So here is my sparkly, blingy pink Halloween manicure. I think simple but effective?

For the silver nails I used an Orly silver as a base then put the LA Girl glitter on top.

Grey, Blue and Glitter - 30 September 2015

Two Essie colours here, I loved this on, so elegant.  The blue accent nail is a textured one coater, I applied a coat of SV to smooth it out.

Dusky Rose Stamping - 28 September 2015

I have several stamping plates but I am not good with them at all. So, as you will see from many previous posts, I stick to water decals or freehand art.  But I have to say that this turned out OK.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Hobbies

OK, so I have joined the New Crumpets Nail Tarts group and will be taking part in the "40 Great Nail Art Ideas" challenge.

It sounded quite complicated, but I think I have got the gist of it. It is to run over 52 weeks and it is split into two bits. The first is themed and the second is colour/pattern.

The first challenge is Hobbies.

I am a day late as I only joined yesterday so mine is a bit rushed.  I did this manicure over what I am already wearing.

Apart from nail art and nail polish one of my other hobbies is sewing.  So I made some home made decals using clear polish and tracing over some pictures with a sharpie, and voila.

Items used:
