Hi everyone!

Im back with the Day 4 of the 31-Day Nail Art Challenge!

Today, Im going to show you Green Nails of the challenge.

As of today, the Typhoon Maring ( international name Trami) has gone and we’re all happy that everything is going back to normal. I also feel for those who have been affected by the floods, landslides and the likes. I hope and pray that they will stand up and rise again soon.

So, here goes the green nails.

As you can see, these are slices of a kiwi fruit. I was thinking of something fresh that is why I came up with this.

I started with this apple green based that is so not opaque so I have to do 4 coats of the Caress Apple Green nail polish ( local brand ). It is a frosted nail polish so you can definitely see some shine.

I painted the seeds and the core using acrylic paints. I put a blob of paint in the center then drew as many lines from the blob outwards to create the effect of the core.

Then I put lots and lots of black dots in between the lines to make the seeds. I let the paint dry for about 10 minutes then sealed the design with a Caronia top coat and that’s it!

What do you think of this design?

Watch out for the 5th Challenge!

I will soon create an FB page, twitter, pinterest and tumblr accounts soon so please visit again.

Day 3 of the 31-Day Nail Art Challenge : Yellow Nails

Im again back with Day 3 of the 31-Day Nail Art Challenge!At work and it’s gloomy outside. It’s been raining for about 3 days now. We’ve been having storm in different parts of the country so I really hope that everyone stays safe. Hopefully we wont get inundated just like Ondoy or Typhoon Ketsana back in 2009 and Monsoon Habagat in 2012. It was really devastating to see what’s going on around me during and after the floods. Well anyway, I think the rain has stopped a little so that’s a good sign, right?Going back to business, Day 3 is Yellow Nails. 

 

 

Remember on my last post, I talked about the yellow nail polish I used for the gradient effect for my Orange nails? This is it!

 

 

So I used OMG Oh My Golly Banana Boat as my base color. This is not a flashy yellow so I love it. I am really not a fan yellow nail lacquers but I like this one. 

 

 

As you will notice, OMG Oh My Golly Banana Boat is not quite opaque so probably next time I use this, Ill apply 3 coats instead to achieve the right coverage.

 

I thought of the design because I’m longing to see the sun again. This reminds me of summer, really cannot say spring because we don’t have the season anyway. 

 

Daisies – because they look so delicate and fresh and they’re easy to paint!

 

I used a bright yellow paint for the flowers’ pistils and dabbed a little BK Leopard Gold on it so that it would stand out a little. Then, I used white and grey acrylic paints for the petals.

 

 

 

I used my Galaxy phone’s camera to take this pic.

 

So that’s Day 3! Hope you’re inspired to recreate this. Watch out for Day 4 – Green Nails!
