* BEFORE YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES IT IS -18 DEGREES CELCIUS WHERE I LIVE AND MY HANDS COULDN'T TAKE THE PAIN OF SCRUBBING THE GLITTER OFF TODAY PLEASE DON'T BE OFFENDED...SORRY!*
I am a day behind, but better late then never. Crumpets Nail Tarts, a super awesome group on Facebook is having a 31 day Challenge. I am excited for this Challenge and even though I will be farther behind when I go home to visit for 10 days (I'm not bringing polish, just nail strips) I plan to complete this challenge anyways no matter how far behind I get!

Day 1 was "Black and White Nails" I used two items I have been wanting to use, but with Christmas and moving I just had to wait until the first opportunity...today was that day!
I will be including pictures of the products I used so if you want to create my look at anytime you have picture reference to what you will need :)
I bought OPI Nail envy in a pack with the RapiDry top coat because as you can see my nails will not grow and I heard that this is the best of the best....we will see! Orly Liquid Vinyl is my go to Black polish and probably the most used polish. If I am doing my nails or swatching indie polishes for review and pictures for their products to use on Etsy, I always use Liquid Vinyl. My only good stamping white is My Konad Special White and I am sad to say that for my last few fingers had to tip the bottle upside down to try to get a few drops....I need another white ASAP.

Stamped with Konad Special White
On my index and ring finger Kandistar Punk Pixie
And a sticker on the thumbs to cover up my smudge
Kandistar Polish...you haven't heard of it? That is because it is a sneak peek of one of my creations! My Husband always tells me that The three colors I gravitate to for clothes, decor, cell phone cases, jewelry, pretty much everything is Black white and sometimes pink. Thus Punk Pixie was created. I have a small obsession with Tinkerbell and that influenced the name.
*Please don't take this next part offensively or personally, it is just my opinion, which everyone is entitled to right?
The reason that I did more then one accent finger is because the "normal" accent finger, the ring finger, has me singing this song in my head. In my honest opinion the message portrayed from that accent finger is "Hey Look!! No ring!! Look at my hand!!!" With me being a photographer, most of my brides have the accent finger done but that is so the groom knows which finger to put the ring on.
So because this song has come to mind I also wanted to share a spoof version that was done which is pretty funny. I saw this a while back and bravo to those woman who are 9 months preggos and wearing heels!
uhh i love that glitter nail polish :D
ReplyDelete-18c wow!!!! It must look so beautiful, the lowest temps we had that I recall was December 2010, I can even remember the date as we went to pick up our wedding rings, it was -16c and everywhere looked like Narnia all frosted over.
ReplyDeleteBut it would kill my hands to live with it longer term!!
Love the stamping, I always find black and white too unforgiving.
Where do you live? It is pretty at first but it has been like this since mid October. We just moved from one side of Canada to the next and we are much, much farther north then we were. It has taken some adjusting :)
DeleteI love the glitter! Ehm where do you live? It must nw so hard to live in -18 degrees
