33 Day Challenge - Abstract

I'm playing catch up again so here is the first of a few posts for the 33 day challenge.

This is what I was inspired to create as an abstract look.

More details after the jump.


I started with two coats of Nina French White and onto this I lightly brushed: 

Yellow - Barry M Boots Limited Edition 2013 B
Orange - Barry M Gelly Mango
Blue - Barry M Cyan Blue
Green - Barry M Superdrug Limited Edition 2013 B
Pink - Barry M Boots Limited Edition 2013 A

I cut some random shapes out of masking tape and applied these to my nails.  Next I covered the nails with a coat of China Glaze Liquid Leather and peeled off the tape.  On my left hand I painted all my nails and then removed the tape, but on my right hand I removed the tape after painting each nail and I think this gave much cleaner outlines.


I covered all the nails with a coat of Nina Super Dry Top Coat to finish off.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Food

I'm playing catch up at the moment and this is the prompt for 2 weeks ago, which was food. I wanted to do something a little different so I created a design inspired by the secret rainbow cakes.  Those cakes that are covered in plain icing and look quite simple until you cut into them and the sponge inside is a rainbow of colours, sometimes layered and sometimes swirled.  I went with the swirled option. More details after the jump.
