This is my 3rd mani I'm doing for the Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Nail Challenge(#pcanovember15) on instagram. This challenge is being hosted by @starryeyed83 and @ladyandthe_stamp and their goal is to bring more awareness to the disease. All manis for this challenge must include the color Purple.

The third prompt is: Flowers

I used Craft Smart Acrylic Paint in Purple, Turquoise, Bright Blue, Neon Pink, nail art brushes, a paint pallet, q-tips, Funky Fingers Gesso, Funky Fingers Dark Knight, Sinful Shine Spitfire, Pure Ice Shimmer Wing Iris, a quick dry top coat Winstonia Plate W315, my jumbo clear stamper and nail gems.

I used the base from yesterday's Pastel Watercolor nails on my Ring finger, middle finger and thumb, I topped in with 1 coat of Shimmer Wing Iris and stamped over that with the image that reminded me of Hydrangea flowers from the Winstonia Plate W315 then finished it off with a quick dry top coat. On my index finger and pinky I painted 2 coats of Spitfire added a dot of quick dry coat and placed my turquoise nail gems.

Thanks for stopping by and please check back throughout the week for more nail challenge inspired manis!

This is my 2nd mani I'm doing for the Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Nail Challenge(#pcanovember15) on instagram. This challenge is being hosted by @starryeyed83 and @ladyandthe_stamp and their goal is to bring more awareness to the disease. All manis for this challenge must include the color Purple.

The second prompt is: Gradient

The polishes I used Sinful Colors Cool Gray, Funky Fingers Gesso, Funky Finger Riot, Pure Ice Grape Crush, Maybelline Color Show Rebel Bouquet in Fiery Tulip and Essence Nail Art Shake Me I'm Pretty top coat. I also used a fan brush, Winstonia W302 plate and my xl pink jelly stamper.

On my ring finger I painted 2 coats of Gesso and on all other fingers I painted 2 coats of Cool Gray. I stamped over the Cool Gray with my Winstonia W302 plate using a mix of Riot, Grape Crush, Fiery Tulip and my xl pink jelly stamper. On my ring finger I created a gradient by placing a couple drops of Riot, Grape Crush, Fiery Tulip on my nail mat. Then I swiped my fan brush in the colors to blend them before painting it over my ring finger. I repeated this about 3 or 4 times until I was satisfied with the gradient. Then I topped all nails with a quick dry top coat and and finished my ring finger with my holographic Shake Me I'm Pretty top coat.
