February Nail Art Challenge Day 2 - Half Moon Nails

This is my day 2 Half Moon Nails mani for Erica's Nails and More's February 9 Day Nail Art Challenge.

As a I said before big part of her challenge is to support her current No Buy by using either untried polishes or ones that haven't been used in awhile. 

So in support of her the three polishes I used fell into one of those two categories.

As you can see I couldn't decide which I liked better. So... I thought I would post them both!!! I did a base color of All Mighty by Sinful Colors. I really like this pearlized blue, I have no idea why I haven't used it recently. 

After that was dry I placed reinforcement labels to make the half moons with a layer of See You Soon by Sinful Colors. It is a beautiful dark dark blue opaque shimmer. Then I took some pictures.

 After which I thought I wonder what Diamond Drops by Color Club would look like on this. So I stuck some more labels on to try it out. As it turns out I love it!

Polishes used:

Base color: All Mighty by Sinful colors (unused for a long time)

Additional layers: See You Soon by Sinful Colors (unused for a long time) and Diamond Drops by Color Club (untried)

Please stop by to see all the beautiful mani posted by the other ladies below!

February Nail Art Challenge Day 1 - Galaxy Nails

This is my day 1 Galaxy Nails mani for Erica's Nails and More's February 9 Day Nail Art Challenge.

A big part of her challenge is to support her current No Buy by using either untried polishes or ones that haven't been used in awhile. So in support of that all the polishes I used fell into one of those two categories.

I wanted to do something different with this galaxy mani than I have done on my previous ones. Instead of using a dark blue or black base color I used I Love You by Sinful Colors. Which is a beautiful dark purple glitter. This is an untried for me, I have had it for ages and never used it on myself.

I then used a makeup sponge piece to apply Endless Blue to start creating my nebulae. This is another untried color which I love. However you can't really see it in the final results of the mani.

I followed this up with Unicorn by Sinful Colors another I believe untried, if not it hasn't been used in forever. I then did a few spots on the nebulae with Tantalize by Sinful Colors, a recent gift that had yet to be tried.

I then used a nail art brush to dot and draw a few bigger stars on with Tantalize. My last step was to do a very thin coat of Glitter TopCoat by Claire's. This was a Christmas present, (which had not been used yet) from a friend I have had my whole life, how well she knows me!!!

She is very big into science and I wanted to make sure I was using the correct term for what I was attempting to create on my nails. I have provided a link attached to the word nebulae in case you would like to know more about what it means.

I hope you enjoyed this slightly different looking take on galaxy nails!!!

Please take the time to check out the awesome creations from the other lovely ladies participating in this months challenge.
