Tropical Flowers Nail Art - GOT Polish

I have some catching up to do with my GOT Polish challenge. And one of the prompts I missed was for something tropical! I did, in fact, do the manicure earlier - just did not get a chance to post it. So here it is, at last.

Got Polish Challenge - Dotted Blossoms Nail Art

The prompt for my Golden Oldie Thursday Challenge is Green. I loved the cherry blossom stamping nail art that I have done in the past so much (here & here), that I wanted to do that again for this. But instead of stamping the image on, I thought I would try a simple little free hand this time. So here are my blossom laden branches!

The green polish is Barry M Greenberry. The branches are done with Barry M Black. The dotted flowers have been done with the polish Bourjois 10 Days No Chips No. 15.

Halloween Free Hand Spider Nail Art

For my manicure today, I painted my nails with Bourjois No Chips No. 11. Once dry, I used acrylic paints and a nail art brush to draw the spider webs and the spiders on the middle finger and thumb with the help of this great tutorial. I finished with a top coat.
I quite enjoyed the nail art in this manicure. The webs and the spiders were relatively easy and fun to do. And although this was not my intention when I started, the colours and the nail art I chose did remind me of Spiderman, specially because the nail polish looks more red than orange in the photos. I think I have to do Spiderman themed nails sometime with this nail art!

Hope you have a Happy Halloween!

Liquid sand and two toned stamping

For this look, I used:
Base Polish: Bourjois 10 days No chips No 15
Accent Nail: OPI Liquid Sand Get Your Number
Stamping Polish: Barry M Gelly Guava and Plum
Image Plate: Konad M94

I did this manicure last night and nothing seemed to work! I had thought of using a dotting tool to create cute little flowers on one nail but I didn't like how they looked so I re-painted that nail. Then I tried a gradient and didn't like how that looked. In the end I settled for a two toned stamp with the M94 plate.

For the two toned stamp, I painted alternate lines on the image on the stamping plate with the Guava and the Plum, scraped parallel to those lines so that the colours don't mix and then stamped the result onto my nails.

I never thought I would like a textured nail but I love the OPI Liquid Sand Polishes. They manage to look matte and sparkly at the same time. And they are easier to remove then glitters though of course, more difficult than a creme.

Flowers and Stripes

For this Summery Floral manicure, I used:
Base and Top Coats - OPI and Seche Vite
Base Polish - Barry M Gelly Mango
Stamping Polish - Sally Hansen Insta Dri Wined Up
Stamping plate - GA36 from the Gals Fairy Set
On the ring finger, I used striping tape, painted on top with Bourjois 10 days no chips No 11.

For the accent nail, after painting the base polish and once it was dry, I sectioned it off with pieces of nail striping tape. Then I painted the second colour on top and then immediately removed the tape. Finished it off with top coat.

I love the colours - they are so summery! And I think the flowers are very pretty - the Gals Fairy image plate set has quite a few floral patterns. This was my first experience with the striping tape and I do think, that I need more practice!
