NCC presents: 30's wallpaper yellow rose nail art

I guess I'm cutting it short showing you the last of the four theme challenges post the 31st of January, but that still counts. ;) As you might know by now I've joined the nail challenge collaborative where we show four nail art's according to a specific theme each month.

This month the theme is wallpaper and as I said in my first post I decided to do a little "history lesson", doing my nail art's inspired by the wallpaper/interior designs of certain decades, going back in time. My last post was inspired by the 50s and today I'm showing a 30s wallpaper nail art.

I decided to skip the traditional art deco style which also was popular during the 30 and fell for these rose patterns. I decided for a gray base where I did a saran wrap with two gray polishes. Then I freehanded yellow roses. As the middle picture I decided for orange shadows in the roses and I also drew some leaves. Basically I'm pretty happy with the result, it looks like a painting in some ways because it's not so detailed. Also, much as a wallpaper I think it look the best from a distance, when I'm looking really close I think it looks weird. :P

Polishes used:
La Femme (gray)
KIKO - 329 (light gray)
KIKO - 368 (orange)
Essence - Love Is In The Air
Jordana Pop Art - Contemporary White

NCC presents: 50s wallpaper nail art

Time for my third nail challenge collaborative post this month with the theme wallpaper. And as I said in my first post I decided to do a little "history lesson", doing my nail art's inspired by the wallpaper/interior designs of certain decades, going back in time. My last post was a 70's wallpaper nail art and next leap is into the 50s.

Well, obviously the 50s wasn't all yellow, I just happened to fall for that and I liked the pattern. The yellow kitchen is from 1959 and the wallpaper there is actually chickens. I also saw a blue kitchen in the same tone.

Basically I used the pattern from the wallpaper, yellow base, stripes and dots in white and gray, which looked kinda graphical and cool. The photos came out kinda weird (think it was dark when I took these) but overall I like this.

Polishes used:
Essence - Love Is In The Air
La Femme (gray)
Kleancolor - White
Jordana Pop Art - Contemporary White

So what do you think? Anyone with knowledge from the 50s, did you see any yellow styling back then and also do you recall any other colors, color tones at that time? :)
