31 Day Nail Challenge - Day 15

Day 15

Yay for Saturdays!:D

The chosen theme for today is a delicate print. To be honest I was really stumped for this one. When I think of delicate I instantly think of an intricate design - something I knew I would in no way be able to do neatly or skillfully just yet. 

I looked at my one lonesome Konad Image plate, the m2, and it has a few flower designs on them which I feel are delicate and dainty looking. 

I know, I know, yesterdays theme was flowers and I'm using flowers again today but they really are completely different. 

I used:

Konad Image Plate - m2

Konad Special Polish in White

Catrice - Beam Me Scotty!

To celebrate Saturday and the weekend, I'm double-posting today! Watch out for the next one later this evening!

31 Day Nail Challenge - Day 13

Day 13 

The theme for today was animal print…….that was an epic fail. As you can see from the photos it totally bombed!

I’ve never attempted animal print before and I love the look of it (when it’s done right!) but I think I’m going to have to do a lot of practice before I can create what I would consider a decent animal print.

In fairness it was very late at night when I was trying to do this but I was still surprised at how shockingly bad it was! I used an m2 image plate from Konad and I couldn’t really figure out how people get loads of different colours in their finished print? I think I’ll have to start looking up tutorials on it!

So here is the cringeworthy attempt but I said I’ll post it anyway just to keep up with the challenge!

The brown base is Barry M’s Mushroom and the black is Rimmel’s Black Pearl.

I’m going to keep practicing the animal print design and hopefully I’ll be able to post a new and improved attempt in a few months!:)  

Collective Haul: September 2011

Good morning! It's Friday whoop! It is so dark this morning, 10:30 am and I have to have so many lights on in the house, it's ridiculous! (Hence the bad lighting in the photos)

I have a nice post today (well every post is a nice post!) It's a collective haul:) yay!

I purchased a few products this month but never enough at one time to warrant a haul of its own. So I've decided that I'm going to do collective monthly hauls. If I happen do to a big haul during the month, I will post it separately before the end of the month but most things will be in the collective haul. I know I love haul posts and I think most people do?

My birthday was this month so a few of the things like the Urban Decay palette and some nail varnishes were birthday presents:)

Make-up

Urban Decay 15 Anniversary Palette (This is fab, will be doing a post on it)

I've been wanting to do more nail art so I picked up a few bits this month that will help with that. Most of them can be gotten really cheap on ebay.
