Fancy Friday #55: Fruits'n'vegetables

So I realised last week that I had a couple of The Nail Junkie neon shimmer jellies left that I hadn't tried yet so I decided I'd do some watermelon nail art for today's challenge.

Base colour is the same as in my GOT texture mani: Catrice Twist of Lemon from the Coolibri Collection.

When I did this I realised I am actually so skilled now that I can free hand french tips :O But not a more skilled nail artist than I can get a mighty good dent in my newly painted manicure :D

I wanted this to be graphic in it's impression and then let the thumb with the nail stickers be the detailed piece in this mani. I like the simplicity of it.

And a macro of the thumb with the fruit circle. I still haven't figured out what fruit the upper one is. Anybody got a good guess?

Well I actually got a bit hungry writing this and looking over my painted nails :D
Der er frugter på neglene i denne uges fælles fredag og det skulle være vandmeloner, eftersom jeg har et par neon shimmer jellies jeg endnu ikke har fået prøvet. Jeg er utrolig glad for den her manicure, jeg er med vilje gået efter nogle forsimplede vandmeloner for at lade negleklistermærkerne få lidt fokus. Opdagede i øvrigt at jeg er blevet superskarp til frihåndsneglespidser :D.

Challenge Week 20 & 21: Bow Mani and Fruit Mani

So another couple of challenges went past and here they are:

My bow mani got done when the good weather got absolutely marvelous with days and days full of sunshine and that made me get in holo mood. I chose to stamp the bows and pulled out my Essence plates for this. I still need a lot of practice stamping, but I find it loads of fun when I do it even though fails are the order of the day.

Base colour is China Glaze DV8 and stamping is GOSH Holographic. I used CND Stickey as base coat and decided to try with top coat since DV8 was a bit gloopy and there fore dried a bit uneven. I think it took some of the oooompfff out of the polish but I got some good wear from it.

Definitely not as oooomphy as Nubar Reclaim

I took ages for me to decide on the fruit mani but in the end I took a relatively easy design: Strawberries and Kiwi. As per usual I did my mani in the evening though this time it wasn't until 1 in the night and therefore a somewhat tired polishaholic that did her nails. The leaf on the strawberry should have been made with a nail art brush. Instead I decided in my tired state to use the polish brush instead which made the leaves a tad more...strange. The Kiwi was just...*decides not to go into details about it*.

This is how the non nail art nails looked.

I used China Glaze Phat Santa, Essie Pretty Edgy, a-england Camelot, Sinful Colors, nails inc. Floral Street - with Cult Nails base and top coat.

Thanks for looking, hopefully you enjoyed it!!
