This is my 4th mani for the Weekly Nail Art Challenge (#WNAC2016) on instagram which is hosted by @missbellatracey, @simplynailogical and @kgrdnr. 

The theme for the month is Glitz n Glam

This week's prompt is: Foil/Flakie

Fresh Paint Sugar Crush

I used:
1 Coat of Funky Fingers Dark Knight
Funky Fingers Gesso

Fresh Paint Sugar Coat

Nutra Nail High Glossy Top Coat

2.0mm Striping Tape 

Painters Tape
and

Tweezers

Fresh Paint Sugar Crush over Funky Fingers Dark Knight 

I unfortunately don't own any indie polishes yet and there aren't many drugstore flakies. I was lucky enough to find Sugar Crush on clearance at 5 Below for $0.50 a couple years back when I first got into polish. It looked so unique in the bottle I up the last 3 bottles they had and it was probably the best decision ever(considering they don't make it anymore). Sugar Crush is a multi shift flakie in a clear base, it shifts from green, yellow, orange to red and has pretty good coverage in 2 coats.

This mani was pretty easy to do but it was all about the taping and making sure everything was lined up straight. I used my go to one coat wonder Dark Knight as my base and 2.0mm striping tape to make the stripes and painters tape to make the crisp V shapes.

I love the finished look, hope you do too!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey Guys!

I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year! I've been in a bit of a funk lately so I haven't been posting like I wanted to so now I'm playing catch up with nail art and swatches. I decided to participate in the Weekly Nail Art Challenge (#WNAC2016) on instagram which is hosted by @missbellatracey, @simplynailogical and @kgrdnr. 

The theme for the month is Glitz n Glam

This week's prompt is: Quilted

I used Revlon Brilliant Strength in Beguile, Revlon Leather Cuir in Motorcycle Jacket, Pure Ice Frost  Finish Matte Top Coat, Striping Tape and Silver Square Nail Embellishments.

Revlon Beguile and Revlon Motorcycle Jacket

I was really excited about this prompt when I saw it on the challenge because I have always wanted to try quilted nails. I based the mani off the beautiful blue/black shift of Beguile, I wanted them to have a plush matte finish so used my go to Pure Ice Frost  Finish and for a bit more texture I used Revlon Leather Cuir in Motorcycle Jacket(I've been wanting to try it out for a while, I love it!).
The look was so so dark and textured, it was screaming for a bit of shine so I added silver caviar beads to all the points of the quilts and the silver squares to bring in more light.

Revlon Beguile and Revlon Motorcycle Jacket 

 I will definitely say its harder than it looks(the striping tape drove me crazy) and I am not 100% happy with the finished product but I think it was great for the 1st try at it.

What do you think of quilted nails?
Have you ever tried them?
