April Nail Art Challenge: Dots

Hi lovelies!

Today it is the last manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday!
The challenge today is dots and I made this simple skittlette with polka dots.

For the manicure I started off with a purple base of OPI Funky Dunkey on all my nails except for my pinky, which I painted with the metallic purple Models Own Chrome Mauve. Afterwards I used a medium sized dotting tool and the metallic purple Models Own Chrome Mauve to make the polka dots on my middle and ring finger.

I love a simple dotticure!

April Nail Art Challenge: Splatter

Hey guys!

I have another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday to show you guys!
Today the challenge is splatter and I made this freehand splatter manicure.

For the manicure I started off with a neon pink/coral nail polish of Models Own Shades on all my nails. For the nail art on my middle finger and pointer I freehanded the splatter with white and black acrylic paint. To finish off the skittlette I applied the holographic glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

I really like how the freehand splatter turned out!

April Nail Art Challenge: Saran Wrap

Hey guys!

Today it is time for another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday!
The challenge today is saran wrap, and I made this green saran wrap manicure featuring black dots.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails. Afterwards I used the brushes in the green Essie Mojito Madness and the light green Etude House GR701 to drop random blobs around the nails. Then I used the saran wrap to mix the polishes together. Lastly I made the black polka dots with a small dotting tool and black acrylic paint.

I love the saran wrap technique, but it is so messy!

April Nail Art Challenge: Water Marble

Hello ladies!

Today I have another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday to show you guys!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails. Afterwards I water marbled different designs with piCture pOlish Mad Magenta, piCture pOlish Chillax, and OPI Alpine Snow.

April Nail Art Challenge: Event

Hello ladies!

Today it is time for another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday!
The challenge today is to be inspired by an event. I chose the event Kapsejladsen (The Boat Race), which is an annual beer baton between 12 of the faculties on Aarhus University! I study psychology and we wear yellow caps every year to support our team - and that is exactly what I was inspired by.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the yellow chevrons on using MoYou London Fashionista Plate Collection 05 and Mundo de Uñas Yellow stamping polish.

Even though the stamping came out crooked, I really like this manicure!

April Nail Art Challenge: Animals

Hello lovelies!

Today I have another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday.
The challenge today is to be inspired by animals and I made this snakeskin manicure inspired by one of my shirts.

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped on the snakeskin design with MoYou London Pro Plate Collection 03 and Mundo de Uñas White stamping polish. Lastly I used a make-up sponge and the grey polish Essie Cocktail Bling to dab on a little polish around the nails to make a gradient effect.

And here it is with the shirt I was inspired by.

I really love how this manicure turned out!
