Nail Challenge Collaborative: August 2017 - Flowers


Hey there!  Today I have my fourth and final post for the Nail Challenge Collaborative August Flowers theme.  I did stamping for my three other looks so decided to do a dotticure for the last one. 


I started with a base of a Lynnderella white mystery with tiny pink microglitters.  I am a sucker for a good white nail polish especially one with a little something extra.  The microglitters in this one make it so pretty.  This is two coats plus topcoat. 


One of my favorite color combos is red and teal.  I think they look great together, and if I were to ever get married that would be my wedding colors.  I used OPI 5 Apples Tall for the red flowers and Taylor Blue for the dots.  The white centers of the flowers were done with the base Lynnderella


I really like how this turned out.  The colors work well together and it looks simple and clean.  I hope that you liked my four manis for this month's flowers theme.  Check back next month to see what the new theme is.

Nail Challenge Collaborative: August 2017 - Flowers


Hey there!  Today I have my third post for the Nail Challenge Collaborative August Flowers theme.  I went with a stamped roses for this look.   


I started with a base of Supernatural Lacquer Amulet which is shown above.  Amulet is a deep jewel toned blue in a blackened base.  I love colors like this.  They're so vampy and perfect for fall.  I've owned this color for a while, and I'm so happy I finally got around to wearing it!


I used Rica Mellow Yellow and Pinky Promise for my roses.  Rica makes some of my favorite stamping polishes, and I've shown you Whiteout and Blackout many times before.  She also makes stamping polishes in other colors, and these are two of them.  I really love these polishes and hope she decides to make more colors in the future.


I stamped with Born Pretty Store BPL-024 plate which I also used in my last post.  This plate is all flowers, and I love all the different options.  If I get the time to do one more post I will most likely use this plate again!


I hope you like my colorful roses.  I love how they look over the blue base.  I wouldn't normally have done a combination like this, but I'm so happy with how it turned out.

Nail Challenge Collaborative: August 2017 - Flowers


Hey there!  Today I have my second post for Nail Challenge Collaborative August Flowers theme.  I did these earlier in the month, but just haven't had time to write a post so I'm finally getting to it now.  If you follow me on Instagram @samantha1027 then you might have already seen the base I did for this look.


I wanted to do something a little different for this one so I went with a fan brush nail art base using Zoya Tobey, Wednesday and Paz.  I've been trying to participate in #fanbrushfriday on Instagram and one week the colors were bright pink, bright orange, and teal.  I thought these colors would work well as a base for flower nail art so decided to stamp over them. 


I stamped over the base with Rica Whiteout and Born Pretty Store BPL-024 plate.  This is one of my favorite plates with all of the flower designs and I love this stamp in particular with the bigger petals.  It always looks great when I use it. 


I'm really happy with how these turned out.  I like the fan brush nail art under the stamping and plan on doing more looks like this in the future.  I should have at least one more post for this month's challenge if not two so keep on the lookout for them.

The Nail Challenge Collarborative: August 2017 - Flowers


Hey there!  Today I have my first post for The Nail Challenge Collaborative August Flowers theme.  We've changed things up in NCC, and this month the members got to vote for the theme.  I actually voted for flowers so I'm glad that theme won.  There's a lot of nail art you can do with a flowers so it should be fun to see what everyone comes up with. 


I started with a base of Polish'M Tahitian Treasure which was part of the Seasonal Indie Box for summer.  This purple polish is gorgeous especially with the blue to gold duochrome shift.  In this photo you can really see the gold coming through.  It really shines!


I tried something new for my nail art.  I went with layered stamping which I've never done before.  I used the MoYou London Princess 13 stamping plate for both stamps.  First I did the checkerboard using MoYou London Last Dragon then I stamped the flowers on top with MoYou London Sweet Wysteria.  I love how subtle the flowers are, and I feel like they work really well over the checkerboard. 


I'm very happy with how this turned out, and I will definitely be doing layered stamping again in the future.  This also coincides with the When Colours Collide purple theme so it worked out for both of my challenges.  I hope you like this. 

Have you done any stamped flower nail art?  Which plates do you like best?
