May #30DaysofColourChallenge - FAVOURITE BRAND/TECHNIQUE

This is a month long swatch challenge for May, a total of eleven manicures!

My favourite technique for nail art is a dotticure.  There are such beautiful designs you can make with just some simple dots. I saw a picture of a blue morpho butterfly and loved the colours.  This mani was inspired by this beautiful butterfly!  I used Essie's Blanc, Essie's Strut Your Stuff, Orly's Prince Charming and OPI's Who Are You Calling Bossy.

#summernorules - RECREATION OF BFF'S MANI

This is the final manicure in the #summernorules challenge and it is a recreation of BFF's mani.  Well...I couldn't just pick one so I have two recreations, one from @darkntwistynails (Anca) and @thepolishedbutterfly (Jaime).

For the recreation of Anca's manicure I used OPI's You're so Vain-illa, OPI's I Just Can't Cope-acabana, China Glaze's That's Shore Bright, China Glaze's Peonies & Park Ave and Essie's Strut Your Stuff.

For the recreation of Jaime's manicure I used China Glaze's White on White and With Love.

This is the end of the third 'no rule' nail art challenges...thank you to everyone that participated.

#summernorules - THE BEACH

The Beach is today's theme in the #summernorules nail challenge.  This is a total cop-out on my part...for some reason I would rather be outside enjoying the weather than creating nail art...so this is the best I could do! 

This is Essie's Strut Your Stuff and is from the Haute in the Heat 2014 Summer collection.  It is a stunning blue that reminds me of water, hence the beach.

Next up and final manicure is Recreation of BFF's mani.  If you want to join in, here is the schedule!
