Day 28: Inspired By A Flag

 We are getting down to the last few days. I'm so surprised that I stayed in this challenge so long.

 Yah Me!!

 

Ok well today is "Inspired By A Flag" I'm mostly German so this was a no-brainer for me :)

These are the polishes I used: OPI "Coney Island Cotton Candy", China Glaze "Liquid Leather", Pixi "Fresh Red", and KleanColor "Metallic Yellow"

 

 

I really love how this turned out. I tried something I've been wanting to try for awhile...

 I was only going to do the fishtail on my ring finger, but decided to do it on my thumb too :)

It took me a couple rows to catch on to the pattern.

 

 I wanted to re-create my dots manicure from earlier in this challenge, so I thought this would be a good chance for it. I was going to do a gold base, but I thought it would look better to do dots in all 3 colors and a kinda naked nail.

 

 I really love how these 2 techniques look together. I think they compliment each other.

 

So what do you think? Do you like it as much as I do?

 

Thanks so much for reading and check back tomorrow for my "Supernatural" mani... again no clue what I'm going to do, but I'll figure it out when I sit down to do my nails lol :)

Day 11: Polka Dots

Today I have a polka dot mani for you, or as I always say "pokie dot" hehe This is actually a mani I've been wanting to do for awhile, so this was the push I needed to finally do it.

 

 I stated with 2 coats of one of my favorite greens, China Glaze "I'm With The Lifeguard" I love that it's neon and it is opaque without a need of underwear.

 

 For the polka dots I used OPI "Every Month Is Oktoberfest" from the current Germany Collection, and is my untried. I love that it's a deep dark purple and it's noticeable purple and not black in person.

 

 I used 3 different sizes dotting tools. I started out by using the largest dotting tool to kinda make a french tip on all nails and then using the largest and the other two sizes to kind of make a falling effect with the dots.

 

 

 

I really love how this mani turned out and I wish I would have done it sooner. I plan on doing this again using different colors. I almost don't want to take it off, but I am doing a challenge so it has to come off tonight to make way for my stripe mani.

 

Thank you for reading and please keep checking back for the rest of the 30 day challenge. Also check out the other ladies below :)
