November 10-Day Nail Art Challenge:

Day 10 - Recreate Your Favorite

I can't believe this is over! I have has so much fun with this. Big thanks to Erica for putting this together!
Also big round of applause to all the ladies that participated for showing off your lovely works of nail art.

I chose to base this on off of 
OMG Wait What Polish Is That's 
Day # 6 Inspired By A Tutorial Post.

I used a turkey feather to be floating around my house. 
I thought it would be a lot harder to do.

I hope you enjoy this mani.

I used Pure Ice Magnetic Nail Effects: Ion-ically Yours for the base, I love the color, but did not use a magnet on it. I used Seche Vite for my topcoat, and Seche Clear for my base coat.

This is a picture of my inspiration mani.

Julep - Trina

Trina by Julep

This polish is described as a deep aubergine shimmer. 

Trina is from the Bombshell collection, 

I got this in my November Bombshell box. 

I love this color. I would describe it as a 

shimmery red with purple undertones.

What is your Julep style?

Day 9 - Water Marble

I have to admit I do not like doing water marbling. I love the way other people's look, not mine so much yet.

I liked the colors from the last challenge, so I tried them for this, alas not much impact.

Day 7 - Stripes/Lines

I went with a Thanksgiving Day color scheme for this 
challenge, as I will be wearing them tomorrow.

I alternated between creme colors on my thumb, middle and pinky fingers and shimmery colors on my pointer and ring finger.

I think I got both stripes and lines in this one it was a lot of fun I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

This one needed a LOT of clean up.

Using the striping tape one of my lovely ladies at work 

bought me this week.

 

Supplies used:

Striping Tape: special thanks to Pat!

Sinful Colors: Could 9, Happy Ending, Let's Meet, and Innocent. China Glaze: With Love and Red Pearl. Sally Hansen Insta-Dry: Lightning. Sally Hansen Extreme Wear: Sun Kissed. Dark lines: Finger Paints: Picasso's Puce.
