ASBMF- Challenge #5- A Rainbow After the Rain

Hello again, all! First of all, I have 22 followers? When did that happen? Thank you so much everyone! That means a lot!

This challenge was difficult for me. I had initially tried something earlier last week that went to crap really quickly. So, I took a few days off, thought a little, and went and tried this design out. It works well enough. It's not my most favorite design but it's a great improvement on the initial design.

When I first read the challenge- A Rainbow After the Rain- I pictured watery, slightly pastel colors. Well, that obviously didn't happen. See, this week has already been a difficult one for me. Some experiences at work and in my personal life have been a little taxing and have made me feel all around sad and worn out. So, enter in nail polish! I wanted to pull out as many of my bright colors as I could to make these rainbows vibrant. I always think of rainbows as a promise of hope, change, and better things to come. That's a good way to look at the rest of the week! Things can only get better!

I added the white clouds as an after thought.  I like the way they make the design look.

Here are the colors used in this design (Left to Right)- Wet n' Wild- Believe Me, It's real, Sinful Colors Tokyo Pearl, Sephora by O.P.I. Opening Night, NYC white, Sephora by O.P.I. Caliente Coral, Striper Nail Art, Sephora by O.P.I. Cab Fare, Sephora by O.P.I. High Maintenance, and Orly Charged Up

Happy Halloween!!

Yayy! It's here! Halloween! Sadly, I'll be spending my night in class, and working on a Power Point for a presentation later in the week. But I won't let this get me down! No way! Just to prove my point, I kept the themed nails going and I'm sharing it now. I attempted another spider web design mostly because the last design came out sickeningly messy. I will say that this one is much better, but the right hand - not so much. I need to work on drawing with my less dominant hand. Practice makes perfect, though!
So, this is my design. Black base, hand drawn spider web, orange base on my pointer fingers, same black as base on other nails used for drawn the Jack-O-Lantern face. All are coated in a gorgeous creepy glowing green flaky glitter.

For these, I used a base of Sinful Colors Black on Black, used my trusty L.A. Colors Art Deco in white, then on the index fingers used Sephora by O.P.I. Caliente Coral, and Sinful Colors Black on Black to draw the face. Over all of that I applied the newly released Nails Inc. special effects The Wyndham. It's my first ever flaky glitter polish and I'm so happy with it! I thought it added a little oomph to the nails and made them a little eerie, in honor of Halloween!

Here, you can see the Wyndham flaky glitter a little better. Love it!

My thumb.

The middle and right fingers are my absolute favorite ones!

So, that's it for today. I hope you all have an amazing night and if you celebrate, do so safely! Have fun!
