Bright Aztec

A week or so back I asked my brothers girlfriend if I could do her nails, and the only thing she knew is that she wanted bright ^_^. I'm starting to really love doing other peoples nails though I'm always nervous as hell and don't wanna hurt them when pushing back cuticles and such, and I have some shake issues sometimes :P

Anyhoo I got some nail inspiration pics from google and she decided on aztec. I think I might've tried aztec on one finger on myself  a few months back, and then decided it was too much hassle to commit to a whole mani, taking my weaker hand into consideration. So doing a full mani of aztec on someone else was rather fun.

Yellow: Manhattan - Lemonade - 15

Black Nail Art Pen

I think If I hadn't been a little hesitant I would've paid more attention to the spacing between colours, but I still love how it turned out. It was quite hard working on small nails (she's a biter) but she's said she didn't bite her nails as much having them painted, and I'm doing her nails again tomorrow :]

So a thank you to Steph for playing model :]

Yellow Alcohol Transfer

Such a gorgeous bright creamy polish, poifect!

So it's been way too long since I've done a transfer and I've been meaning to do something on a coloured base, this didn't work out perfect but I've never had owls on my nails so I don't care ^_^

& for good measure the images I used

George Troll - My Perfect Red For Autumn

George - Troll
2 Coats + Top Coat

This is actually a matt finish polish, but I struggled a little with application (see ring finger :P) so I added a top coat, and loved the colour while glossy. It's actually a little more red in real life too. I seriously need a gold to stamp with though, cause this would be pefect with some Autumn themed images.

Purple & Green Leopard Print

Halloween isn't that far away, and I have no idea what to dress as, like not one clue, so I've been looking around for some inspiration for a costume. And got reminded of a colour combination I rather like.

Again, I wish I'd done the spots a little smaller. I really need to invest in some dotting tools rather than using the brush from the bottle. I like the outcome anyways :]

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Cutex - Sweet Pea
Spot Colour: Cutex - Eggplant
Nail Art Pen In Black
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

P2 Pink It Up Chrome Zebra Konad

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: P2 - Pink It Up
Stamp Colour: China Glaze - Millennium & N.Y.C. - Foil For You
Plate: Konad M57
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

And a quick swatch pic. This is one of the polishes that I won in a giveaway, the formula is so so good. It goes on so smooth and perfect the chrome actually had a bit of a problem sticking. From now on I think before stamping with a chrome polish I'm going to do a thin base coat over the colour to help it stick.
