31DC2013 Day 26: Inspired by a Pattern!!

Hello, lovelies! Happy Wednesday!! We're almost done with this 31 Day Challenge (Finally!) I always quit everything so it feels good to actually finish something even if it took you the last months and two nail breaks.

Today I've got a special pattern I'd chosen ages ago specifically for this challenge, I found it on Pinterest and knew it was going to be my "Inspired by a Pattern", well, inspiration.

Here's the nail art I made based on it:

I used China Glaze White On White as my base, then with my smallest dotting tool and black acrylic paint I made tiny polka dots. I mixed China Glaze With Love with White On White for the different shades of red and pink and created the roses and finally added some leaves with Color Club Rule Breaker.

I really loved the result and how it turned out, I uploaded it to Instagram and tagged China Glaze and a couple days later they liked it! And I fangirled obviously! Haha I was very happy wearing it and I wore it for a whole week until it chipped. I hope you liked this nail art, see you later this week for more!

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 7: Black & White

Happy monday everyone! Finally, here they are: my black and white nails!! When thinking about the desing I wanted to create with black and white polish the first thing that came to my mind was a chessboard so I went right to it without hesitation! This was my first ever checkered nail art and even though it isn't as perfect as I'd like it to be I'm quite happy with the result :)

I used Orly White Tips as my base color and then with the help of a small dotting tool I placed tiny dots to creat the "corners" of the squares, finally with a small nail art brush and Finger Paints Black Expressionism I freehanded the lines and filled the squares to create the pattern.

The only really bad thing was that my top coat (Sally Hansen Insta-Dri) dragged the black polish and makes it look quite messy :( I'm really sad about that part because until that I was pretty happy with the result. Sigh, well sometimes you win and sometimes you lose...

I really hope you can forgive that imstake of mine, cause I still don't :'( Haha, well I hope to see you very soon this week for the next 31 Day Challenge design!

Love, Pam♥

Wannabe Leopard

Hey, guuuys!! :) How you doing? Happy wednesday, smells like a nice weekend! So, last week I went to a bar with some girl friends (it was a G.N.O.) and I wore a loose black blouse, nude pumps, and YES! Leopard print jeggings! And as the nail art  maniac I am, I decided to match my nails with my jeggings. BUT, I didn't have the exact nude for the background (I only have a greyish nude and a pink nude) so I went with Art Nouv-Yellow from Finger Paints. The result was a half giraffe half leopard animal. With the yellow background that I thought would be so much lighter, and the brown spots it was the perfect combo for a giraffe print, buuuut it had leopard spots instead... I still likes it a lot anyways, so here it is.

I used Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow, Finger Paints Black Expressionism and my dotting tool (sorry, but my brown polish has no label).

Sorry for the crappy photos:( It doesn't let me capture it correctly.

I did like it, and I actually wore for a loooong time, which in nail art world is five days. I've always loved doing leopard print nail art so maybe that's the reason why. I hope you liked it and I'll be back very soon. :)

Love, Pam♥
