13- animal print. [30 day challenge/ untrieds]

Hello.. My animal print is stamped using the snake skin BM image for day 13 in the fabulous [30 day challenge/ untrieds]

Base polish: essence: Seasons of extreme- my best nude friends and me
Stamping polish: essence- in style
Image plate: BM215

The essence was nice to stamp with. In the sun it reflected and made me stare at it a while, contrasted with the fairly plain base. The base colour did have a little shimmer. I tried to capture that in the first pic below.

12- stripes. [30 day challenge/ untrieds]

Hello..  For something different, it's another from ulta3 in the [30 day challenge/ untrieds]. This is a magnetic polish- hypnotic.

So for the stripes pattern for today, I used a magnet to create them..

This is the magnet I made after seeing the post by morenailpolish and attacking the fridge magnets.

However, today I simply used the larger piece of fridge magnet to be able to wrap it closely around my nail/ finger- for straight lines..

Then I added a bit of shimmery glitter (essence- glitter topcoat).
This mani was done over PVA, I'm using it as a base coat so then I can peel it off- ready for tomorrow !!

11- polka dots. [30 day challenge/ untrieds]

Hello.. Lookie here at my skittle mani with dots-- using models own polish for the
[30 day challenge/ untrieds].

I stamped over the individual colours with konad plate M56?- the design with all the dots like a fishnet. then I used my beginners skill in dotting to add 3 blue dots to each nail.. They blend in too much on the green nail though.

So you want to see what today was like for my [30 day challenge/ untrieds]

Just to alert you I have never done a gradient before, although previously I did use the stamp on BM301, but the way it turned out, I wasn't 100% happy.

This time however, I was using a piece of kitchen sponge.

Polish used: BC- pink and BC- purple. They don't have colour names, just numbers on each bottle colour.

It turned out so very bumpy, and an added layer of glitter polish made it sparkle (b collection by bloom- aspen), but still if you came close enough to touch it, it was like a rollercoaster :)
