DAY 15: Delicate

Finally got down to doing the delicate nails.

Took me quite awhile to think of a design and to find time to paint my nails.

Why I used a matte topcoat was because my regular topcoat dried up. But the matte effect was actually pretty nice, perhaps nicer than the glossy ones.

DAY 14: Flowers

Finally got down to the flowers nails. I found a image online of coloured flowers on a light vintage brown background. I don't have a light brown, so I mixed white with a little of OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know to get the base colour. Coated it with a gold glitter polish. Then painted on the coloured flowers.

DAY 13: Animal Prints

Leopard print nails inspired by my leopard print dog! Haha! OPI Can't Find My Czechbook (bought it from Nail Deck) as the base colour, then coat one layer of OPI Last Friday Night. Using a pink polish, draw dots or patches. Using a small brush, outline portions of the perimeters of the dots using OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know?. Coat a layer of OPI Teenage Dream and apply topcoat.

DAY 12: Stripes

My cell group's Christmas party was held after Christmas and the theme was candy canes! So I decided to do a candy cane french tip, which didn't go very well. Haha! I had problems controlling the brush to draw very thin lines. But here it is! Stripes challenge completed!

DAY 11: Polka Dots

It was my bestie's 21st birthday yesterday, and her theme was polka dots. So I did this set of nails, for her birthday and it falls in line with the theme for DAY 11 of the nail challenge.

I first painted two coats of OPI's Isn't That Precious?, followed by a blue polish from faceshop on the tips. Using a dotter, I used OPI's Mummy Knows Best to create the dots. With a stripper brush, I used OPI's Last Friday Night (Katy Perry Collection!!) to line the tips. And TA-DA!! Polka dotted tips are born!

DAY 10: GRADIENT nails

Gradient nails! I decided to use an ocean-ish theme for the this set of gradient nails. The reason why there is only one lonely dolphin on my ring finger is because I actually dislike sticking 3D stuff on my nails. Firstly, I really doubt that this little dolphin is still gonna be there by tomorrow morning. Secondly, with 3D deco, washing my hair is a hassle!! It will get trapped and all when washing, plus the worry that it'll just fly off when I pull it through my hair.

I actually coated two coats of Zoya Maisie to give the nice fleck effect (ocean-ish look!), which isn't obvious in the first photo, but more obvious in this one. Its more obvious in actual. And here it is, gradient nails, wrapping up the 'colour segment' of the 31 Day Challenge.

Here is what I used.

From left to right: OPI Let's See The Ring, O2 Skin Nail Polish, 3 blue Faceshop Nail Polish and Zoya Maisie.

DAY 9: RAINBOW NAILS

Yeah! Finally I had the time to do my rainbow nails. I used OPI's Let's See The Ring as a base colour and sponged on 6 pastel shades. Pink, blue, orange, yellow, green and purple. Topcoat it and here it is! Kinda reminds me of the paddle pop ice cream...

DAY 8: METALLIC NAILS

Metallic nails! I used gold metallic and black polish (from faceshop) for the base, then used China Glaze's crackle polish, Black Mesh and Platinum Pieces.

DAY 7: BLACK AND WHITE nails

Dalmatian nails for the Black and White nails! OPI's Mummy Knows Best (a gift for my birthday, thank you friend!) is used for the based and only using a dotter, I drew on the prints and the paws. The french tips were done using the brush from the polish itself. Essie's Matte About You was used, it gives a better Dalmatian feel than the shiny lacquer.

DAY 6: VIOLET nails

Before I started on my assignment, I decided to paint my nails first. I'm doing DAY 6: violet nails. I borrowed this nail polish from my friend, Joanna, who got it from Forever 21. It full of micro glitters! After 3 coats, I achieved this really nice glittery purple nails. :)

31 Day Challenge

DAY 1: RED Nails (Faceshop)

This challenge has been going on for quite awhile but I only stumbled upon it sometime last month? So far I've done Day 1 to 5. I'm not doing this on a daily basis due to the lack of time.

DAY 2: ORANGE nails (borrowed from friend)

I borrowed the orange polish from my friend Joanne as I didn't have any orange in my nail polish collection.

DAY 3: YELLOW nails (OPI: Need Sunglasses?) 

This bright yellow polish is too borrowed from my friend because I don't have any yellow in my polish collection either.

DAY 4: GREEN nails (Konad) 

This is green! Its yellowish green.

DAY 5: BLUE nails (China Glaze: Frostbite)

I love this colour! Its a bright electric blue!
