A Polished Bookworm

#31DC2015 Day 16 Geometric

For this design I used Essie Naughty Nautical, Orly Skinny Dip, NYC Black Lace Cream, NYC Boat Basin, NYC Palm on The Beach. I used striping tape and free hand nail art brushes. Top coat is Seche Vite.

Day 12 Stripes

Polishes used: 

Day 13 Animal Print

I used China Glaze The Heat is On, China Glaze What's She Dune?, and NYC Black Lace Cream. Top coat is Seche Vite. 

 

The base for this design is China Glaze Rain Dance The Night Away. The studs are from The New Black. I used striping tape for the design with Nina Ultra Pro Orange Flame, Sally Girl OMG, Sally Girl XOXO, and China Glaze The Trip of a Lime Time. I topped it all off with Seche Vite top coat. 

Day 1 Red or Orange: 

I decided to go for Red and Orange instead. For this design I used striping tape and a makeup sponge. There actually is a slight gradient in the orange even though it's hard to tell. I used Essie Tart Deco, Sinful Colors Feel the Vibe, OPI Coca Cola Red, and China Glaze Elfin' Around. Then I topped it with Essie Good to Go. 

For this design I used OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby for the base color on all of my nails. Then I placed down striping tape for the different designs. I used China Glaze So Blue Without You, Sinful Colors Cloud 9, Julie G Under Mistletoe, China Glaze Elfin' Around, and Sally Hansen Deep Purple.

For this design I used e.l.f Pot of Gold for my base for all of my nails. Then I put striping tape done on my middle and ring finger and filled in with different colors! You have to be careful to not go over the tape, and into another section but I think its pretty easy. Then I took the striping tape off. For the gradient colors I used e.l.f. Sunflower, Mango Madness, Flirty Fuchsia, and Electric Fuchsia! I topped them off with Seche Vite Top Coat. You can buy all of these nail polishes here.

Thanks for reading and have a great day! Make sure you get your nails ready for tomorrow's prompt!

My pinkie finger is Fall Out Boy's logo and my ring finger is Paramore's logo. 

I used Sally Hansen Posh Plum, Silvery Streamers, and Gun Metal, Wet n Wild Disturbia, and Sally Hansen Wine Not.

The polishes I used in this design are:

-L.A. Colors Black Velvet

-China Glaze Mingle with Kringle

-NYC French White Tip

-Sally Hansen Silver Streamers

On my thumb I used a dotting tool for a dot gradient. I like this one A LOT. 

For my pointer, I used striping tape.

On my middle finger, I have a sticker, and I don't remember where I got it, sorry. 

On my ring finger I have Silver Streamers over Mingle with Kringle. 

I did this half moon free hand. The glitter is from a pack of glitters I got at the dollar store.

I topped all of my nails of with Seche Vite.

 Step one: Paint your nails red

 Step two: Set out your striping tape in this design. Try to make them not straight lines up and down, but more curved like I did.

 Step three: Make sure they are all secure then paint green.

 Step four: While the polish is still wet, take of the striping tape. Then finish with clean up and top coat!
