The Lazy 15 - Day 3 Dots

Day 3 of the Lazy 15 challenge is Dots.

I struggled with today. There are so many different dot designs to choose from but I think sometimes too much choice makes things more difficult.

Anyway, this is something I've seen done a few times now and I've always really liked it so I decided I'd give it a try for todays challenge.

For this I used OPI Skull & Glossbones as a base, then GOSH Gold and OPI Suzi Loves Cowboys for the pattern. I used a brush to paint on the joined dots and a large dotting tool for the center dots.

I quite like this one! It's a shame I have to take it off pretty much right away but I'm sure I'll be trying this out in many more colour combinations in the future.

Makeup Savvy 15 Day Nail Challenge - Day 11 - Metallic

Today's challenge has been the hardest for me.

Due to a lack of inspiration and time these will not be the most amazing metallic nails you will ever see but they are sparkly!

I think the best thing to do when your are suffering a lack of inspiration is to keep things simple.

So I chose a combination of GOSH Gold and Milani Jewel FX Gold glitter.

I love the Milani Jewel FX glitters so much, they kind of give a hammered metal effect in person but I'm not sure that came across too well in the photographs.

I really like this combo and can see myself wearing it more often especially for nights out.

It's just so sparkly!

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.

31 Day Nail Challenge - Day 11 - Polka Dots

I am on Day 11 of the 31 Day Nail Challenge and Day 11 calls for Polka Dots.

I love polka dot nails.

They are so quick and easy to do and always look good. 

Plus it's such a versatile design it can never get boring!

For mine I used Essie Mint Candy Apple as my base colour then used my dotting tool with the largest round tip to make the white dots. The white I used is just a nameless white from a French Manicure kit I have.

Then I used GOSH Gold and a smaller dotting tool to do smaller dots in the center of the white ones.

So simple but pretty.
