Nail Challenge Day 31: Brush Strokes Recreation

Today's the final day of the nail challenge and it is a bittersweet moment for me! I totally enjoyed trying new techniques and seeing how my actual designs were created from my initial thoughts and ideas. Earlier on in the challenge I feel in love with Jayne's watercolor design; with it's simple color scheme but gorgeous effect.


During my attempt to recreate her design, for some strange reason the acetone refused to diffuse the nail color to soften the look on the base color. So I tried and tried and gave up on the watercolor effect, but instead I used her same color scheme of soft white base with blue and pink as brushstrokes instead of the watercolor. 

Colours used: Sacha Cosmetics Barefoot in the Sand (nude), China Glaze Beauty Within (pink) and Hanging in the Balance (blue)


Thank you for seeing me through my second nail challenge and don't forget to check out my challenge buddies. Stay tuned for more nail designs and other beauty adventures with me!

Let’s start with what I do love about the palette. It’s simple black compact that has the same sleek look as the other Revlon photo-ready items. I find a highlighter, contour shade and blush in one palette is a great idea too. Having more blush colour in terms of quantity with smaller sections for the highlighter and contour makes perfect sense since I will use more of the blush anyway. The colours as they appear in the pan look perfectly coordinated to work with each other. You get a small brush with soft bristles in your kit to ensure you can just pop this in your bag and you’re off.  In the sunlight Now here is where it all goes downhill like Jack and Jill with their pail of water. Let’s start with the swatches which made me think twic

Marble Hearts: BCD Nail Art Challenge (Day 13)

Today's challenge utilizes the technique of dry water marbling to create your pattern. I'm doing a twist of it but doing a needle drag i.e using a needle or any fine point for just a smidgen of swirl to the colours used.
