Something that was meant to look better than it did
So in my head today's nails looked a lot better than they did in reality, I just dont think the colours really match and it looks a bit strange. I like these simple flowers and I've done them before and will probably do them again, so one mistake doesn't mean the end of the world. Nonetheless, I needed posts for whilst I'm away so this is what you're getting haha.I used China Glaze - Gaga for Green, Rimmel's white tip nail varnish, Barry M - Blueberry and an unnamed dark pink. Hope you like them!

Pink Mix 'n' Match
So today I decided to combine some of my favourite nail artist's ideas into one manicure. I chose pink because it was first to hand but I may try this with other colours in the future because I really enjoyed doing them.Thumb - based on tutorials by The Nailasaurus
Forefinger - based on a more complex design by Dressed Up Nails
Middle finger - MrCandiipants' lovely little flowers
Ring finger - just fancied some studs and I've seen a few people do these
Little finger - Mr Candiipants' again with her zig zags.

Glitzy Papaya
No niin tässä nyt tämän edellisessä postauksessa vilahtaneen lakkauksen "virallinen postaus" :p Lisäsin siis liukuvärjäykseen vielä käsinmaalatun kukat nimettömiin. Pohjalakkana tässä taas essie sugar daddy*, jonka päälle aloin kärjistä lähtien tuputtelemaan meikkisienellä vihreää MIYO Mini Drops Papaya/Mango tuoksulakkaa. Vihreän päälle levitin kultaista MIYO Glitzy Gold glitterlakkaa, sen omalla siveltimellä lähtien oikeastaan kynsienkeskeltä niin, että liu-utin sitä liukuvärjäyksen rajalta molempiin suuntiin. Tällä tavalla sain vihreän lakan näkymään eniten ihan kynsien kärjissä ja liukuva efekti voimistui. Tähän väliin kaikkiin kynsiin tuli pikakuivattavaa pari kerrosta, joka myös tasoitti glitterin epätasaiseksi jättämät kynsien pinnat.
Lopuksi maalasin nail art lakoilla nimettömiin kukkaset. Aluksi muotoilin terälehdet kultaisella nail art lakalla ja sen päälle tein ohuet vedot vihreällä ja vähän pastellista pinkkiäkin laitoin terälehtin keskelle. Se ei kyllä näy kovin paljoa :D Vihreä lakka näyttää kuvissa turkoosimmalta kuin luonnossa..Viimeisenä pistelin punaisella lakalla pisteitä kukan mediksi. Mitäs mieltä olette? Miten te yleensä teette liukuvärjäyksen? Olen lukenut/ katsonut monia erilaisia ohjeita. Joissakin laitetaan meikkisieneen valmiiksi raidat kaikkia kynteen tulevia värejä ja sitten töpötetään ne samaan aikaan kynnelle. En itse ole koskaan tehnyt niin, vaan aina väri kerrallaan. Pitää varmaan joskus koittaa tuotakin tekniikkaa :)
Back to normality!
So now the challenge is over we can return to normality, although having written all these posts in advance for my 2 week holiday I wouldn't exact call it normal. I'm not one of those bloggers who has a large selection of things still to post, I do my nails and I post them, simple. So it's been pretty stressful to try and get some extra posts sorted for whilst I'm away, but I hope you'll enjoy them.Today's post came to me accidentally, I was just messing around and this is what I came up with. I actually really like it though I think it would have been even better outlined in black, maybe I'll try it again when I get back from my holiday.
I used Barry M - Blueberry and Matt White + acrylic paints, using a dotting tool for the hearts and a small thin paintbrush for the details. Hope you like them!

Day 31: Recreate your favourite challenge.
So that's it, the challenge is over! I've really enjoyed doing it but whilst the inspiration was good it was stressful to manage everything alongside getting a post up everyday. Today I decided to do gradients again, they're super easy and I think I need to improve on them a lot because mine are never very smooth, the sponge effect is always very obvious. I also felt that my original post's colours weren't obvious enough so I changed them around a bit (and I made it into a 3 colour gradient instead)I used China Glaze - Something Sweet and an unnamed light pink and an unnamed darker pink. Hope you like them!
