Day Twenty-One: Inspired by a Colour

Wasn't too sure what today's challenge meant but according to other blogs, it seem to be an inspiration on a polish's name. To be honest, it was hard figuring out which I wanted to do because they all had "non object" names such as Royal Blue or puns such as No Spain, No Gain. So when I purchased some Ulta3 polishes from a local pharmacy, I saw that one was them was named Watermelon. I knew that was the one I wanted to do and I've been wanting to do a watermelon inspired manicure since summer started... a month ago.

Yay, Happy Summer!

Day Twelve : Stripe Nails

Last week I broke my arm and haven't really got used to it yet. I wanted to do a neat tape stripe manicure for this challenge but even when both my arms could freely move with a huge cast in the way... I sucked at tape manicures. Instead I resorted to freehand lines which I don't quite like - it reminds me of painting hard boiled eggs for easter ( and I was inspired by this springish background of stripes).

Also, the colour combination is something I didn't chose... It was the boyfriend's idea! He deliberately chose 5 colours that he thought would not go together just to troll me, *Shakes fist at him*

Day Ten : Gradient Nails

My boyfriend means the world to me and lately he's been getting semi involved with my nailpolish addiction although... it is a little out of hand. His favourite colours are red AND black - not red by itself or black by itself; They have to be together. I decided to go gradient on his favourite colours with glitter on top and the outcome was this vampy looking manicure.

Day Seven : Black and White Nails

An attempt on needle marbling. Yea, I know the design isn't so great and looks really random but using the needle to play with the polish is quite fun, hahaha. I used the quick tutorial located on BecomeGorgeous.com for this technique but the author's demonstration looks a heck cooler than mine.

Day Five : Blue Nails

I've been seeing a lot of matted glitter manicures and wanted to try one for myself for my Blue Nails manicure because well... almost every glitter just suits this colour and it looks wonderful mattified. As for the glitters...  rainbow, hexagons, two different sizes and in a clear base what else is there to argue about? :)
