31DC2013 Day 15: Delicate Pattern

Heeeeey there glittery puppies! Happy Monday! As I promised I'm back, and I'm bringing you this time my "Delicate Print" design.

At first I wanted to re-create a beautiful french manicure chain design Julie Ventura uploaded a few weeks ago, but after a couple tries with different colors but I gave up and went to Pinterest for inpiration and found this image that seemed so pretty and "delicate" so I went for that.

Here's my "delicate print" design inspired by it (and with a different color combo).

The colors I used were Color Club Silver Lake as my base and Color Club Hydrangea Kiss for the details.

I feel in love the moment I grabbed Silver Lake cause it's such a pretty neutral color, perfect for a subtle base!

I painted my nails with two coats of Silver Lake and with my striper brush and Hydrangea Kiss I painted a couple stripes on my fingers and some more on my accent nails. Then with my small brush I painted the tiny petals, although I think if there wasn't for the stem they could 100% pass as hearts.

I feel really satisfied with this design, and more because my top coat didn't drag all the polish, which *spoiler* will have to do with the post for my next design :'( 

Anyways, I hope you liked this nail art as much as I liked wearing it! See you later this week, byeeeeee.

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 6: Violet Nails!

Hey, guys!! I'm so sorry I haven't post anything in almost two weeks but I didn't have my laptop with me so you know how that is... :(

Anyways, I still did the 31 Day Challenge, and I'm wearing my rainbow nails right now! I'm presenting to you my violet nails though, you know, so we can continue with the challenge as normal:)

For my violet nails I did something I had in my mind for a loooong time and I had just bought Hydrangea Kiss and thought it was the perfect violet/lilac. I guess I should've done this on the gradient day but I actually want to do a gradient nail art for that day and not a gradient manicure so I guess it's fine.

I did the ombré manicure technique using white polish and black polish. I added one and two drops of white polish for my index and thumb and then one and two drops of black for my ring and pinky.

I was surprised to see that the resulting color from mixing black was a taupe with violet hints but it looked pretty cool to me, plus I adore taupe.

The colors I used were Color Club Hyndrangea Kiss, Orly White Tips, Finger Paints Black Expressionism and the glitter is L.A. Colors Sparkling Diamonds

I hope you enjoyed this post! And I promise to be back tomorrow for the next 31 Day Challenge nails!! :)

Love, Pam♥
