Today I have my Falling for Nail Art Challenge with the theme Baked Goods. I really had to stop myself from using my apple pie image for this one but I somehow managed to restrain myself.
For this challenge I started with a base of 1 coat of an unnamed Color Club lavender/periwinkle that I think is Pucci-licious, based on swatches. I loved adding to my Color Club collection but not having names on the bottles is a giant pain in the ass. If you think this is a different CC colour please let me know, also this colour is slightly less blue in real life.
This colour must have some neon pigment in it because it dried slightly matte. Once the base was dried I started to add my design, of a cupcake, of course. I used Lime Crime's Crema de Lemon for the wrapper, and then used a yellow striper for the shadows. The frosting is China Glaze White on White with yellow and red stripers for the sprinkles.
I added the SV too early, since I am more used to applying it over stamping, and ended up with the red striper smudging and bleeding into the white. Except for that I was actually quite pleased with how this turned out.
I have been doing so much nail art between the challenges that I have been leaning towards more plain nails, so I wanted to show you one of my favourites from last week.
The base is another of the unnamed Color Clubs, I think it is either Look Book or Style Icon, and this is 3 coats of the deep jelly like red that is the closest to oxblood that I have. The studs are small gold rounds from the Born Pretty Store and the reason that one of them looks silver is because I took this photo after a day at work and apparently I wore through the top coat and took the colour coating off that one stud. I really enjoyed how simple and sophisticated this mani was and I think it totally appropriate for Autumn.
That is all for today, but I will be back tomorrow with my next 33DC mani.
Until then, polish happy!
I've never seen such a shade of a blue nail polish! awesome:)
