The Nail Challenge Collaborative - July 2015: Travel

*purchased by me*

Hey there! Today I have for you my third post in The Nail Challenge Collaborative July Travel theme.  I'm slowly getting caught up finally!  For this one I went with travel by boat for my mani.  

I started with a base of Elevation Polish Kawagebo for my base.  The lighting kind of is off on the first picture. This one is more color accurate.  I used Boston Nail Art Nautical Blues waterslide decals for the anchors and captain's wheels.  

I'm still getting the hang of waterslide decals.  I am happy with how this turned out though. 

Thanks for reading. 

May 2015 The Nail Challenge Collaborative - Spring Flowers

*purchased by me*

Hey there! Today I have my fourth and final post for May's The Nail Challenge Collaborative theme, Spring Flowers. This one is actually my favorite of the four because I really like the color combination!

I started with a base of Elevation Polish Hitsujiyama Park.  With a dotting tool I created the flowers using KBShimmer Beach Please and Rica Whiteout.  I added in a few smaller dots as well.  I finished up the mani with KBShimmer Clearly On Top.

I'm glad I was able to find the time to get participate in this challenge.  I wish I could have nail art at work, but at least I can on the weekends!

May 2015 The Nail Challenge Collaborative - Spring Flowers

*purchased by me*

Hey there! Today I have my third post for The Nail Challenge Collaborative May 2015 Spring Flowers challenge.  I always wanted to try cherry blossom nail art so decided now was a perfect time.  

I started with a base of two coats of Pahlish Tropical Island Treasure which is a really pretty aqua creme with tiny blown flakes.  It's quite beautiful! I used a random black striper to make the branches and dotted with Rica Whiteout and Elevation Polish Hitsujiyama Park for the cherry blossoms. 

I admit this isn't perfect, but I do think it's cute and perfect for spring flower nail art! I remember a class trip I went to in Washington DC, and I fell in love with all the cherry blossom trees along the mall! 

What do you think of this spring flowers look?  What's your favorite flower?
