Tribal Galaxy!

Hello girls!

When I saw the tribal galaxy design that Mr Candiipants achieved inspired by a society6 phone case, I immediately wanted to make a try:

Sadly my acrylic paint pen (POSCA) wasn't opaque enough and crackled with my topcoat :/

I used a lot of colors for this design, starting by one coat of a dark green crème from Avon.

I sponged other colors from Avon: a light grey crème, a navy shimmer (similar to China Glaze - Rodeo Fanatic) and a purple glass fleck (similar to CG - Senorita Bonita).

I also sponged Orly - Butterfly and Biguine Makeup Gloss & Shock - Blue Lagoon.

Then I added one coat of China Glaze - Fairy Dust (thank you Nikki!) to give it a lot of sparkliness!

I decorated this galaxy using my white Posca and some holo gold hex glitter, then Out The Door Top Coat ;)

Did you liked it? I am disapointed of the opacity and crackling of the white paint but I think these are cute! Not as badass as Mr Candiipants' but a little more detailed :)

Have a great day!

Serape (fail) - My Favorite Things Nail Challenge Day 6 "Stripes"

Hello everyone!

Today I'm showing you my entry to the "Stripes" day of the challenge!

I'm very late, & sorry, because I've been doing several craft projects this week and I had no time (and clean hands!) to do my nails! No my projects are over but I'll make a post to show you what I've done ;)

For today's challenge, I wanted to do serape inspired nails! These are the mexican blankets you might have seen before. This kind of pattern always make me think about Peru, and Peru makes me think about one of my favorite animals: Llama! So I wanted to give a try, I hope it does look like a llama!

Today was also my first try at one stroke and it was a success, I was really proud of my mani... before my topcoat! :( It made the paint crackle... 

I started with ONE coat of China Glaze - Adventure Red-Y.
All the stripes are done with gouache paint, but the llama is done (in order from darkest to brightest) with E.Pinaud - Chocolat, China Glaze - Desert Sun and China Glaze - Kahalari Kiss.

I'm really proud of this mani, but also sooo disapointed  :(
What do you think?

Have a great day! <3

Guest Nails: Aztec

Hi everyone!

This week I was at my grandparent's with my sister, so I did her nails! She wanted some aztec nail art, with that bright orange!

I started with one coat of OPI - Fly. Then I added stripes with OPI - Hot & Spicy (2 coats!) and Rouge Baiser - Gris Lavande.

I freehanded the pattern with Wet'n Wild - Wild Shine - Black Crème, and I made the dots with a dotting tool and Seche - Blanc.

I though about doing an aztec nail art lately and my sister showed wanting me to do it on her nails. I'm happy about how it turned out! :)
