Day 18: Half Moon

Hello Hello. Today's Challenge is the half moon. I am not really good at doing half moons cus my lines always come out messy and I don't like the way that they look. I know I can go get some reinforcement stickers but, I always forget and I don't have any just laying around.

Anyways...

Today I wanted to try out the half moons that I was so fascinated with from The Daily Nail. Hers are totally amazing. As for mine they're just OK. I also had the idea in my head of doing a half sun on top of the clouds that I did on Day 5 : Blue Nails. This too came out just OK. I think that if I would have had a bit more time to focus on them instead of making sandwiches and grabbing socks, that they would have came out a bit better. Oh well. I love my kids.

 

So That's it!

 

Colors I used:

 

OPI "Oh Waiter', "Fly", & "No Room for the Blues"

Sinful Colors "Pull Over", "Soul Mate", & "Snow me White"

Pure Ice "French Kiss"

Sally Hansen "Mellow Yellow" & Wet Cement"

China Glaze " Liquid Leather"

Day 5: Blue nails

 On to Day 5 of Chalkboard Nails Challenge. Today I wanted to try out these awesome cloud nails inspired by nailsbymh on Tumblr. When I first saw these I was in awe. They just looked so cool compared to all the cartoon clouds out there.

Since she didn't have a how to on this design I took on the task of creating a step by step on how I was able to achieve this affect...

Step 1

I used a medium blue in the top of my nail down to about 1/2 of my nail.

 

Step 2

With a lighter blue I painted the other 1/2 of my nail

Sep 3

With the darker color I sponged a cross the middle of the 2 colors to blend.

Step 4

Then I did the same with the lighter color to achieve a better blend

Step 5

Again with a piece of sponge I added white patches to create the clouds.

Step 6

With a dotting tool I used black & gray polish and semi blended it together to create the shadows in the clouds. I left a little of the polish darker to go under the gray.

 

 

And there you have It!
