NCC presents: Spike stud punk rock nail art

The theme for Nail Challenge Collaborative this month is Punk & Rock, and yea, I knew what I wanted to try out, yeees... spike studs. :D I bought the studs from ebay and tbh I'm not sure if these are meant for nail art or something else. No matter what, I've seen this nail art several times before and wanted to try it out, just for fun. I knew from the beginning that this wasn't wearable or even long lasting, but hey, I see this one more as conceptual art, than a manicure per ce. Hope you'll like it. ^_^

Made a little artsy pic too, with one of my fav necklaces and some suiting jewelries. ^^

Polishes used:

31DC2013 Day 19; Abstract punk rock galaxy nails

Galaxies.. galaxies galaxies..I wasn't in the mood for the regular ones. When saying galaxy nails they all have the same concept and I will try that out too someday but this time I wanted to make my own interpretation. My first thought was that I wanted a polish that could work as a starry heaven on it's own, I picked Golden Nightmare which I've swatched but yet not shown nor reviewed, it has just stayed hidden in the archive. What I can say about it is that it has it ups and downs, the downside is that it get's gritty and the plus side is that it's a one coater and that the grittiness can be solved with two coats of top coat. With the top coat this is gorgeous, it's not really that dark blue like a real starry heaven, but it do have a bunch of golden glitter or glass-flecks which today will symbolize stars and galaxies. I also attached star-shaped golden metal stud rhinestones on all nails except my accent nail where I placed a bunch of metal beads, and suddenly this nail art turned very edgy and punk rock, however keep in mind it's a punk rock galaxy.. ;)

IRL the glitter showed much more than in the pictures and some time I had a hard time getting focus in the shots. I rarely use flash shots but this time I'll show you one (below) because that was the only way to really show how beautiful the polish is
