Vegetable nail art in green

Yep, you read the title correct, here's a first in my blog; vegetable nail art. I've used some Born Pretty Store water decals which as usual contain of 10 sets of nails with small motives. On the one I picked out there is tomatoes, chili, cabbage, cauliflower and pea shells as seen below. I wanted to create a green manicure so I decided to clip out the peas, cauliflowers and cabbages and the rest I'll make something fun of another day. ;)

Tomato Red Pepper Water Decals Nail Art Stickers Decoration

First of all you can see my nails are shorter than before, I decided to cut them down since the constantly where breaking at the nail bed and I was fed up patching them with tea bags. It's not my favorite length but I know some of you like this length better and I'll just play with what I got until they are healthy and long again. :)

Onto the nail art. I started with a green creme polish on all my nails, then I added a white glitter green crelly polish on my thumbs, pointers and pinkies. I also decided to attach 2MM neon green square metal studs on top. And then I created a gradient from green to white on my middle and ring fingers, which are my accent nails. After everything was dry I placed my water decals (I've done a tutorial HERE) and then painted top coat on top. If you haven't tried water decals you should, they are really simple to use. This is also btw my contribution to Green Wednesday. :) I'm really happy with the result, the motive feels different and I also love anything green. ;)

Zentangle pattern nail art in yellow, black and white

I just love yellow, black and white together! They compliment each other so well. I saw something similar at Lucysstash two years ago and knew I wanted to create something similar, but in other colors. I used the gorgeous Butterbeer as a base and then I used white nail polish and then made black stripes with my fine liner. Sadly my black fine liner was a bit dry but I think it came out okay anyhow. Loved this and I'll probably end up recreating it again. :)

Polishes used:
Kleancolor - White
Jordana Pop Art - Black Mark (lol look at that old bottle! Can't even see the logo..)
Alanna Renee - Butterbeer (swatch)

Alanna Renee - Butterbeer, swatch

Butterbeer is a honey yellow/yellow toned orange crelly filled with tiny matte white glitter and "semi-shiny" off white hexagons. The proportions of glitter feels very well calculated/tested and the formula was surprisingly good even though the glitter makes the formula feel dense. In the end I only needed 2 coats for it to cover. This could easaliy have been like the horrible formula of Lush Laqcuer glitters but it wasn't at all and I really like everything with Butterbeer. :) Totally a "Gelic'-polish".

This was $8 (ex. shipping) from color4nails.

Alanna Renee - Snips & Snails & Puppy Dog Tails

Despite trying to get time for the blog during the week time just fly by without me having the time for anything fun. Luckily my summer job will end in the beginning of August so then I at least will have more time for fun stuff, like nails, blogging and reading blogs..

Anyhow, let's have a look at a new brand for this blog; Alanna Renee. I actually bought a bunch of polishes a while back and today I'm showing Snips & Snails & Puppy Dog Tails. Isn't that the funniest name ever btw?

Snips & Snails & Puppy Dog Tails is a glitter polish with shiny red and shiny blue middle size hexagons + small blue and red shiny glitters in a clear base. Of course one option is to layer the glitter over another color but I decided to try to make it cover, which from what I remember took like 5 coats. I also tried the polish with matte tc, which was my favorite when I wore it, however looking at the pictures now I almost think that the shiny version is better.. ;)

The picture just above is in lamp light and the pictures below is with matte tc.

What's your favorite: ,matte or shiny version? And do you have any Alanna Renee? :D
