NCC presents: Black and white stamping nail art

Here is my second post for the Nail Challenge Collaborative this month with the theme typography.

Also, email me for more info if you are interested in joining this monthly challenge!

I decided to make a nail art in black and white with stamped details using a bornprettystore image with "do no cross" written all over. Afterwards I realize I should have edited the placing from horizontal to vertical.. but it is a learning process. I still manage to stamp my left hand better than my right but the practice is fun anyhow and it looks good enough irl. Hope you like it. :)

Polishes used:
Nordic Cap - NP12
MoYou special nail polish - White
BornprettyStore stamping plate - BP-66
Dance Legend matte top coat

NCC presents: Speech bubbles nail art

This month in the Nail Challenge Collaborative the theme is Typography, which is quite interpretable. For y #1 I went simple and started searching my image plates for text. I found the BPS plate BP-69 which has these cute little speech bubbles with different greeting words in all kinds of languages. To stamp this was a challenge and I think I smudged a lot, but IRL it looked kinda okay and I relly liked my base gradient below. The colors looked really nice with the white contrasting, somehow I got turtle vibes. :)

Polishes used:
Dance Legend matte top coat
HM - Green Street
HM - Wanna Pepperoni

Nordic Cap - NP12
BornPrettyStore image plate - BP-69, bought in a sale.

31DC2015 - Day 27; Banksy street art inspired nail art

Today artwork is the theme of the day and I decided to get inspired by street art. I just love well made graffiti and street art. There is often good political and social statements and some of the 3D art are just mind baffling.

Today I have done a nail art inspired by Banksy (a quite well known street artist), I wish I had small detail brushes so I could be able to make more detailed work since my canvases are way smaller than a brick wall. However with that in consideration it's not that bad. I found a "graffiti" aka crackle polish in P2's new collection and figured it would fit perfect for this. The rest is freehanded with a fineliner polish and a dotting tool. Hope you like it. :)

Polishes used:
Dance Legend satin matte top coat
P2 - Exquisite Grey
P2 - Grey Sapphirine
Essence - Black Is Back
R de L Young - Ruby Red

Love text nail art in black and gray

For this Nail Art Sunday the theme is "letters" and even though I was close trying out that "newspaper/alcohol method", I ended up in a free hand nail art instead. I've seen some cool scripted text nail art with the text "love" for example. So basically I used a cool gray creme + black glitter polish as a base and added metal studs, free hand text limited on two nails so my left and right hand would be more cohesive. So on my dominant hand I added a black glitter gradient as accents instead. I like this look, it come out pretty clean, elegant and also simple looking in some ways too. Hope you'll like it. ^^

And below is some shot of my left hand (haha so unusual making some decent "poses" with my dominant hand and also keeping my non-dominant hand steady while taking shots);

Polishes and materials used:
ZTIZ nail polish (black)
El Corazon - 423/89 trendy jeans (swatch is coming up soon)
Black metal studs
(And L.A. Girl - Uninhibited)

Fight Club nail art

No. 23 in the 31dnc is "inspired by a movie" and I decided to create a Fight Club nail art. I made it quite simple, with one black side and one white side symbolizing the two "sides" of the main character(s) and some red splatter symbolizing some blood as you might have guessed. ;) Enjoy!
Almost forgot, at nail art sunday there is more nail art. :)

Polishes used:
Nordic Cap - NP12
Nordic Cap - NP13

Jordana Pop Art - Black Mark
