Another catch-up post.  Inspiration from Instagram @sidstudioruody,  Loved these when I saw them last Christmas, I had to do similar.

Green Christmas Nail Art

Another catch-up Post - December 2016

I did these nails way back in December last year.  Festive green nails with some nail water decal transfer stickers.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Pastel to Bold Gradient with Something on Top

This is the 14th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This fortnight the theme is Pastel to Bold Gradient with Something on Top.

I love doing gradients, if a little messy.  Here I used a base coat of OPI Alpine Snow.  I put on a coat of SV for quick drying.  Then for the gradient I used LA Colors Mega Watt and Elf Mango Madness.

For the something on top, I used some floral and butterfly nail water decals - voila.

Simple and effective.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Green Freestyle

This is the 13th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This fortnight the theme is Green Freestyle.  I have chosen water decals for my freestyle.

I have used these water decals here before, about 2 years ago.  

Amazing how by just changing the colour of the polish/lacquer gives the manicure a completely different feel and look.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Spring Animals

This is the 12th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Black and White Valentines

This is the 9th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

The challenge this fortnight is Black and White Valentines

Again, I've incorporated a gradient and a nail decal.  The decal has a bit of red in it, but then valentines has to have a bit of red, right?  I uses OPI Alpine Snow and Orly Liquid Vinyl.
