Little Night Flower

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.

The theme for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas this week is three shades of green and my added technique is tape mani. I redid this mani about 4 times using 12 different green polishes before deciding on this look. It wasn't that I had too few green polishes to choose from (I had over 30) but I had trouble matching up polishes that worked well together. Details of the polishes I used are after the jump.

This week for 40 great nail art ideas I have the prompt pastels with swirls.  I will admit to redoing this look about 4 or 5 times before deciding on this one.  It was quite a hard challenging settling on just one thing for this prompt.  I also had some major nail breaks so I don't have much space to work with at the moment. More details after the jump.

This week's prompt for 40 great nail art ideas is Fashion.  I based this design on a pair of Marc Jacobs boots. More details after the jump.

The prompt for this week's challenge is red and  I had the added pattern stripes. Due to a close family bereavement I haven't had much time for doing my nails over the past few weeks so my designs have all been things which are fairly quick to do.  This week I thought I would do some rustic looking stripes.

The prompt this week is pale blue base.  To go with this I have the technique sponging. More details after the jump.

The prompt for this week is New Year. In the North East of Scotland when things get cold, a lot of the celebrations seem to involve setting things on fire.  New Year, is no exception.  In a village called Burghead on the Moray coast there is a tradition called 'Burning of the Clavie' which happens on 11 January (New Year on the Julian calendar).  More information can be found here: http://www.burghead.com/clavie/ This is what I have based my design on for this prompt. More details after the jump.

The prompt for this week is Christmas. I have taken a traditional route for this and painted Santa stuck in a chimney. My nailbeds are quite curved so it is sometimes difficult to get a picture of an image painted on the whole nail, but I have tried my best. More details after the jump.

The theme for this week is Winter. When we get a harsh winter the one thing you see everywhere is icicles. More details after the jump

I'm a little late with this one, but I've been away.  As my son is currently in the Haematology ward my inspiration for Halloween was vampires and in particular the classic black and white horror film Nosferatu. More details after the jump.

The theme for this week was green, purple and orange. To go with this I got the pattern/technique prompt roses.  And this is what I did: More details after the jump.
