The New 31 Day Nail Challenge - Day 11 - Splatter

We are on Day 11 of the challenge and today's theme was Splatter!

I have never tried splatter nails before so this was completely new to me. I knew the basic method so just grabbed my weapons of choice and got to work.

I started with two coats of Barry M Matt White as a base. Then I randomly added blobs of Barry M Shocking Pink, Pure Turquoise, Mint Green and Berry Ice Cream to a sponge and sponged it onto the nail to create a random gradient type background.

Then I took my drinking straw and used Barry M Black and Matt White for the splatter effect.

I have to say I honestly thought I was going to get myself into a complete mess with this but I'm really happy with how it turned out and I managed to keep the mess to a minimum too so that was a bonus!

Tomorrow is Tape Mani day, which I always get into a mess with!

Makeup Savvy 15 Day Nail Challenge - Day 10 - Gradient

Today's challenge is the one I have been looking forward to the most. 

I really enjoy doing gradient nails!

I knew I wanted to do a rainbow gradient but I didn't know if I wanted to use pastels or brights.

Once pastel had been settled on I decided to try doing the gradient across the nails instead of down the nails and I'm really pleased with the outcome.

The colours used are, Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream, Peach Melba, Lemon Ice Cream, Blueberry Ice Cream, Berry Ice Cream and Essie Mint Candy Apple. Then I used China Glaze Fairy Dust glitter over the top to give it a bit of sparkle.

Makeup Savvy 15 Day Nail Challenge - Day 8 - Leopard Print

Day 8 of the 15 Day Nail Challenge is Leopard Print.

Who doesn't love leopard print nails? It's quick and easy to do and always looks good, plus there are endless colour combinations to try! After yesterdays neon nails I decided I'd use some pastel shades that I have been neglecting recently.

The colours I used are Barry M Berry Ice Cream, Mint Green, Strawberry Ice Cream, Blueberry Ice Cream and Peach Melba. Then I used GOSH Gold and Barry M Black for the leopard spots.
