31 day challenge - Day 30 - Inspired by a Tutorial

Wow, I can't believe I've nearly reached the end of this challenge! Despite it taking me much longer than 31 days (whoops!) I've had so much fun doing it! Today's challenge is to be inspired by a tutorial and as soon as I saw Jenfabulous's tutorial on YouTube I knew I had to attempt this look! The link to the original will be posted at the end.

 (The look is the last of the three!)

31 day challenge - Day 10 - Gradient

I usually like gradients but I've done it quite a few times now and still can't seem to get them right. I like the colour combo here but not overly chuffed with the finish!

Skyline gradient nails!

This design took me a bit longer than the usual looks - you can probably see why! Complicated little design but I'm pretty chuffed with how it looks. Unfortunately the camera doesn't reflect 100% the real colour - you can barely see the purple of OPI's Vant To Bite My Neck but it's definitely there!

To start off this look I painted a basecoat of a-England's The Knight, followed by one coat of China Glaze White on White. After this, I used three of OPI's colours from the Euro Centrale collection: Vant To Bit My Neck, Can't Find My Czechbook and I Saw... U Saw... We Saw... Warsaw and sponge-gradient-ed them on. The next thing I did was get a small brush and painted on the shapes of the buildings using Rimmel's Black Out, then dotted on Barry M's Pale Yellow. The final stage before top coat was to use an amazing custom colour created by Jamie of Kawaii! She made this for me last year and it's to die for - filled with gold and silver glitter, bar glitter and stars!

To finish the look I layered on a thick slab of Seche Vite and voila! Skyline gradient nails :)

Random nail art spam!

Sorry for the poor quality of these, the pictures were taken on my phone - I now plan to use my very lovely camera to take snaps from now on! Just thought I would share some random nail designs I've done on both myself and on my mum! Let me know if you like any!
