Day 26 – Inspired by a Pattern

Hey there! Today’s post is a continuation of the 31 day challenge. And today is the 26^th installment of it which is Inspired by a Pattern.

There are days in my nail painting life that I ran out of ideas and suck in doing the design. This is one of them. The patterns I saw from other nail bloggers who did this challenge makes me feel worse about what I did.

 I literally ran out of idea on what to do on my nails. I wanted something more elegant. But my mind just went blank. I decided to do something very simple – a checkered design. Since it’s still holidays when I did my nails, I opted to go for the holiday colors, green, red and gold. Well, I cheated, that’s not really gold. I used Art Club Bronze for the base color. Then added on some red and green checkered using BNC 2 way nail art pen. I need a lot of practice with this one.

I’m not exactly sure that checkered are patterns. But I want to claim that it is.

What do you guys think of the design?

Holiday Nails

Hi everyone! This post is a bit late for posting. But I went on a vacation during the holidays and was not able to get in front of a computer to have everything uploaded, that’s why I’m uploading it just now.

I know I’m still in the middle of the challenge. But I wanted to share with you my nails for Christmas day. Although I’ve said that I do not personally celebrate the Christmas season, it has been a family tradition to get together and have a small feast. They would also put up a Christmas tree at home.

In the middle of the challenge, before the clock strikes twelve, I decided to do some Holiday mani.

I used Bobbie Touch of Tan as base color so as not to overpower the trees. I then drew Christmas tree as accent nails on my thumb and ring finger. I drew the tree using BNC 2 way nail art pen in green. I used BNC 2 way nail art pen in red for the red Christmas balls and Caronia Silver Platinum and a dotting tool for the silver balls. For the strings (I’m not really sure what it’s called) I used Art Club Bronze.

I drew in the stars on top using neon yellow. Although the stars don’t really resemble a star, I still like how it turned out. Let’s take a closer look at my Christmas tree.

Too bad, I was only able to wear this for few hours since I had to remove in and continue on with the challenge. I liked how the Christmas tree turned out. I’m even planning to add some gifts, but due to time constraints, I was not able to do that.

Day 16 – Tribal Print

Hi guys! Welcome to day 16 of the challenge. What I have for you are some tribal prints.

I’ve been wanting to try this design for a long time but didn’t find the time to do so. So thanks to this challenge, I was able to finally try this on. I decided not to use the typical white base. I saw this from Emerald Sparkled. But on that design, she used a gold polish. Since I didn’t have gold, I decided to use my most recent nail polish which is Art Club Bronze. This polish have a nail art brush, but I used a regular polish brush so that I can easily apply it on my nails. I used Essence Perfectly True on my accent nails. Then I used black nail art brush and dotting tool to draw the lined dots and sun.

I liked how this one turned out. I’m thinking of doing this again in the future so that I can wear it more than a day. Here’s a closer look on the design.
