Crumpet 31 Day Challenge Day 31 Recreate someone else's mani

Hi
Today is the last day of the challenge, all I can say is phew! This was my first big challenge and it was really hard to make one mani a day and, ow no, take it off the next day. Not all my manis where excellent but there sure where some that I wanted to keep for a day or two. The last challenge is recreate someone else's from the challenge and I of course, to no surprise, am recreating Alexis from Glitter tips Day 8 duochrome. You can find the original post here.

I dont have any duochrome so I decided to just do chrome. This is what I used

For index and pinky: base Sally Hansen Co-bolt Blue followed with a gradient of Wet n wild Buffy the Violet slayer, and the tips are Essie good as gold.

For the rest: OPI My boyfriend scales walls. I made the tips using the colors I used on my chrome fingers. The black used is Wet n wild Ebony hates Chris, which is not very good for dotting, I waited ten minutes before adding my top coat and it still smeared :/

Well guys what do you think did I nail it or what! 

The great thing about this is 

I GET TO WEAR IT FOR MORE THEN 24 HOURS YEAY!

Enjoy!

Thank you Debbie Crumpet for setting this up!

Crumpet 31 day challenge Day 14 Stamping

Hi All, Today challenge was super fun for me because I really enjoy stamping. It's a great way to make designs I never could by hand, and on top of that it's super easy (once you have enough practice. Please don't forget to check out the New Year Giveaway , Zoya Gilty up for grabs.

For this look I used OPI Designer.. De better as my base coat. I didn't paint my nail entirely, instead I used "steps" going from the base of my nail to the tips. I then did this again with China Glaze Liquid Leather . For the stamping I used Essie nothing else metals.

I loved this look it came out perfect and is really feminine.  

Enjoy.

Zoya Gilty Swatch

Hey!
 So today I am super excited to write about what I finally got in the mail yesterday, Gilty by Zoya. Its a Topcoat with real 18K gold flakes! It will make any girl feel delicate and glamourous. Instead of layering it with either of the polishes it originally comes with I decided to layer it over one of my other favorite colors "katherine" from GLOSS the NYFW 2012 SHEER JELLY COLLECTION. I have seen many swatches that review it over "raven (black) and "purity"(white)so letting you see something different wont hurt. This look was achieved with two coats of Gilty. Application should not be rushed and wait until bottom coat is fully dry for easy application.

I used two coats of Katherine. Katherine is a deep jelly purple that needed two coats because one coat did not cover enough. I then followed by two coats of Gilty followed by a top coat.

This topcoat wasn't too hard to apply and I like how it looks with the deep purple of Katherine. I will be trying it with a lighter color and seeing if the results are just as good.

Enjoy!

Zoya Ornate Geometric Design

 Hey guys!
Today I in between studying, eating, and cleaning I had a change to work on this mani. After walking by these at my local Whole Foods many times ( yes they sell them there!)  I finally  purchased The Zoya Ornate collection. These are amazing colors for the holidays, probably the best I have purchased. I wanted to use them in a fun way that could represent the holidays but also not look like I was walking around with ornaments on my finger. I only used four of the six colors for this style. These colors all have glittery effects to them that don't over power and take away from the color of the polish. I new I had something good when my mom looked at my nails and complimented me and said " I think I might go buy that red" She hates glitter, but these she loved. So here is my design. I decided on triangles and a strip of gold. I think it turned out like wrapping paper but that's ok.

U used Zoya "Storm", "logan", and "blaze" to make the large triangles. The gold trip you see is Zoya "Ziv"

I started with two coats of Blaze which I let dry over night. I didn't want any flaws in the geometric design.

Later using masking tape I cut many, many triangles and made these triangle designs.

The black storm only needed one coat, Ziv needed two coats.

The green triangle I freehanded over the gold. 

Here is my final product.

 I lover using our Christmas tree as my background, my mother loves ornaments and she has 300+ b
hanging in our tree, each so beautiful in there own way

 This look took me a long time to and a lot of patience, but this collection was made to be used not when the air is cold and everywhere you go you see a little sparkle of the holidays.

Thanks you for reading!

Happy Holidays!
