31DC2013 Day 21; Inspired by orange; orange fruit nail art

20 days have passed and the third and last part of the challenge starts. This section is called "inspired by.." and today it is "inspired by a color". My color of choice is orange.. which perhaps is the first thing one would think of but I really liked my idea so I went with it. I curious to see what you other did! ;)

Basically as you can see I went for my orange colored texture polish, which in my mind looked like orange peel and then I painted the orange wedge. Or well, I painted the fruit flesh first as a "half moon" and then the peel..you'll get it when you see the pictures. I don't think this is my best nail art ever, but no matter what, it is so fun to look at that I don't mind! Hope you like it too! :D

 I also realized that oranges isn't as orange as the nail polish, my nails looked more like mandarins! ;)

Texture and shiny tape nail art in green

It's Wednesday and that means Green Wednesday at Vacker&Underbar. I just love green and this time I wanted to prolong a green manicure by adding texture to it. The result actually remind me of lettuce or something like that. :)

As you might suspect, I've used striping tape to create a pattern and then painted the texture polish on top and removed shortly afterwards. I liked the result even though the tape lifted the polish in some places. This type of nail art really has potential, you know, texture and shiny on the same time.

Shiny vs. texture; Android nail art

Hi!
Long time no see. And I'm late participating in Lelack's Nail Art Sunday too, but better late than sorry or how it's said? :) The theme this Sunday was the tricky "operating system". I was pretty sure what I wanted to do, especially since I've received some new polishes.

 As you can see I decided for an Android accent nail. I also wanted a texture vs. shiny effect.

The texture polish is called In The Rough and is from China Glaze's texture collection. It's a avocado green shade which needed two coats for full coverage. On my ring finger I've used HM - I'm Not A Kiwi which irl got almost if not the same color as In The Rough. In this photos the color of my ring finger seems very off and the texture color seems correct color wise.

Above is my right hand which I left without accent, mainly because of lack of time. This is my first try of the texture polishes from China Glaze and I must say I like them, way more than OPI's Texture collection! Drying was normal-fast considering that I couldn't use SV on top. ;)
