AIS: Yellow base

Pin It
Hi lovelies,

Some of you might know that I am a member of Adventures in Stamping, a stampaholics group on Facebook. They have a challenge for every Sunday, and this week, it was doing nail art on a yellow base.
Since yellow is a colour I do not use regularly, I thought it was a good idea to meet the challenge.

I used Colorbar Sun Blaze, a bright buttery yellow, from the Quick Finish range as my base. As with most yellows, this one was streaky despite all my careful ministrations. But when I added a coat of Wet N Wild Kaleidoscope -- a clear base filled with holo micro glitters, to add some sparkle, the polish levelled out.
And then, I went ahead and smudged by middle finger real bad. So, I layered a coat of Color Club Gingerbread, a gold-based holo glitter to cover up my mistake.

Since it was a stamping challenge, I used the flower buds image from BM 206 and stamped with Mundo De Unas White. This toned down the 'yellowness' of the polish, and made it more wearable for me :)

Christmas Penguins

Pin It
Hi lovelies,

I am loving the Christmas challenges. How about you? I will leave you with a short post here because I have to meet three other challenges today. These are my penguin nails for Day 2 of the Plump and Polished Challenge.



Though I did them yesterday, I had no time to post it till now. Better than never! The challenges are pushing me to try new styles I hadn't used before. This is the first time I used acrylic paint on my nails. I had no idea they were so easy to work with!


This was the penguin on the thumb. I found these Santa penguins on a Youtube tutorial by Pretty Nails. Aren't they cute and goofy?


That was the final shot. Did you like them? Don't forget to leave a comment!


Polishes used:
Colorbar Exclusive 14 (blue creme)
Wet N Wild Wild Shine Kaleidoscope (micro holographic glitter)
Acrylic paints: Dark blue, red, yellow and white
