Happy New Year Everybody!

Here is my New Years mani, I keep it pretty simple with a bit of glitter and stamping.

I used Sinful Colors Snow White Me, Sinful Colors Twilight Twinkles, Funky Fingers Dark Knight, Pueen Fireworks Festival Stamping Plate, XL Jelly Stamper, Black Acrylic Paint and a small nail art brush.

I'm happy with the finished look, I wanted the gold to look like confetti and the black swirls to look like the streamers. I think next year I will attempt fireworks. I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve, I will be spending time with my family watching the countdown from home. I hope everyone enjoys themselves and is safe. Thanks for all the love and support you all have given me this year, I hope you stick around to see whats in store for next year!

The theme for the month is Festive.

This week's prompt is: Stars

I used Sinful Colors Purple Heart, Forever 21 Nail Color in Pewter, Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate BP 11, XL Jelly Stamper and cosmetic sponge.

How to get this look:

1. On index, middle and pinky nails paint 2 coats of Purple Heart and let dry
2. Place a couple drops of Pewter on stamping plate, scrape and pick up with stamper. Line up and place on nails
3. On ring finger and thumb paint 2 coats of pewter and let dry completely 
4. Using the cosmetic sponge, paint the edge of the sponge with purple heart and overlap slightly with the pewter polish
5. Dab sponge over the edge of the nail to create a gradient and let dry
6. Repeat painting polishes onto sponge and dabbing it over nail until happy with the gradient and let dry
7. Finish by topping all nails with top coat

I was pretty excited when I saw this weeks theme was stars because I've been dying to try out this stamping plate. I wished it looked a bit more like the stars are jumping out at you but I have some ideas on how to get the look for that next time.

This is my 3rd mani for the Weekly Nail Art Challenge(#WNAC2015) on instagram which is hosted by @missbellatracey, @simplynailogical and @kgrdnr. 

The theme for the month is Elegance.

This weeks prompt is: Shattered Glass

I used Funky Fingers Dark Knight, Quick Dry Top Coat, Holographic cellophane(gift wrap) and Scissors 

With the new trend a lot of people use clear irridescent cellophane over either black or white polish. With my attempt at the look I tried something a bit different and used a opaque silver holographic cellophane, to give it more of a broken mirror look. Unfortunately the photos don't do the holographic shards any justice but they sparkle beautifully in person.

To get this look:

1. Take sheet of cellophane and using scissors cut into small pieces(triangles or diamonds)
2. Think about placement and test out look on nails. Cut and adjust as needed.
3. Paint on base coat and 1 coat of  Dark Knight, let it dry.
4. Paint on 1 coat of quick dry top coat and quickly place the cellophane shards. Add as many or as little as you are happy with(work 1 nail at a time)
5. Finish with 1 or 2 coats on quick dry top coat to help flatten all pieces.

The Holo is a bit more visible in full light
