Lazy 15 Nail Challenge - Day 6 Favourite Colour

It's Day 6 of the Lazy 15 Challenge!
Today's challenge is Favourite Colour which for me is pink.

I have a feeling the colour pink is going to be quite popular for todays challenge!
I have always loved pink, I went through a phase in my teens of pretending to hate it because it just wasn't cool to like pink. Then when I had my daughter in my early 20's it seemed like my entire life turned pink! Any other mums find that? As soon as you have a baby girl you live in this sort of pink haze for at least 2-3 years. My daughter is almost 6 now and is slowly starting to realise there are other colours!
Also my wedding, two and a half years ago, was pink. Not bright in your face pink, it was a soft dusky, vintage, pale pink. My absolute favourite shade of pink.

Which brings me on to the nails.







I got the idea for these nails from THIS YouTube video by JaeMarie2008 who has loads of fab nail art that you might like on her channel.

I did this a little differently to the video.
First I taped off the triangle st the cuticle. Then I applied two coats of Boots 17 Sweet Kisses and removed the tape. When that had dried I re-taped them and applied Barry M Rose Quartz Glitter with a small nail art brush, arranging the glitter in a gradient effect. Then to tidy up the edge I finished with a line of Barry M Pink Silver Glitter at the edge and topcoated with Seche Vite.

I kinda wish I had these nails for my actual wedding as they would have been perfect but I wasn't into nail art at all then!

Next up for Day 7 of the Lazy 15 Challenge is Feminine Nails.

Makeup Savvy 15 Day Nail Challenge - Day 15 - Anything

Today is the last day of the Makeup Savvy 15 Day Nail Challenge!
Anyone else look at the challenge for today and have their minds go entirely blank?
I had no idea what to do for today until I was looking for some jewellery to wear this morning and realised I have a lot of pieces that have skulls on. I do have a bit of a thing for skulls, and this gave me an idea.







I LOVE IT.
I decided to mix in a few other things I love too such as roses, pink, glitter and gradients.
The colours I used are - Barry M Matt White, Black, Shocking Pink, Strawberry Ice Cream, Spring Green and Models Own Magenta Divine glitter.

I have enjoyed this challenge so much! 
It's got me out of my nail art rut and made me use my imagination. 
It's also pushed me to try things I would never have thought I could pull off successfully before now. 
I've looked forward every day to seeing what everyone else has come up with and discovered some great new blogs to read through it!
Thank you Fee for hosting!
