Black & White Challenge - Day 5

The girls who did this challenge are already done! Their links are in the end of this post, check them out! Now it's my turn to play catch up!

I left off with day 5 - Color base with something blackClick to see day 1, day 2day 3, or day 4.

Actually I did this challenge last month, but never had the chance to take pictures of my nails. Now I'm redoing the same design & I'm loving it the second time also! My inspiration came from Pebbles & Bam Bam from The Flintstones.


For Pebble's clothes, I used three coats of China Glaze Gaga for Green from their Electropop collection (which I love!) & for Bam Bam's clothes, I used three coats of China Glaze Papaya Punch from their Island Escape collection. These two polishes gets a bit spotty if you apply them too thin, other than that love them! The patterns on both their clothes was stamped using triangle designs from the Shany SH22 plate in Konad Special Polish Black. Seche Vite & Warpaint Beauty Mattify combo both after the base color & stamping.

These two color combo are very Easter-y/spring-y. It reminds me of the movie, HOP. Speaking of that, I think I missed the deadline for the HOP inspired doughnuts at Krispy Kreme >__<

Week 10: Polka Dot Mani

I have been away for way too long. I appreciate everyone who reached out & told me to come back to my blog. Hehe, I've just been out & about enjoying life outside the computer world. I haven't done much to my nails in the past month because of all the tears & breakage I've been experiencing. In that time I was able to finally organize & document all my polishes into a spreadsheet.

Now let me slowly catch up with the yearly challenge and black & white challenge. I'm always falling behind on those! Also, I haven't announced the winner to my recent contest, I'll have that out in a couple of days. Be patience with me, thanks.

I left off on week 10 - polka dots mani.


I used two coats of China Glaze 2030 & dotted with Wet n Wild Black Creme. The reverse colors are done on my accent finger. I feel like I've done a mani like this before, the two colors are just really lovely together! 2030 is my perfect gold chrome! I need to find another bottle when I reach below the halfway point. This mani was topped with Seche Vite & Warpaint Beauty Mattify.
