#PPSAnailchallenge - Pink aka "FAN BRUSH ALL THE NAILS!"

Hi there lovelies...you schmexy beasts you! I am finally posting again. I’m sorry I dropped you in the PPSA Nail Challenge but thanks to some unfortunate things I was pulled out very early in the challenge. Not only did I have the mother of all nail breaks which funnily enough I found a solution around but I’ll tell you all about that in my next post, but I got bronchitis! You know what that means right?? I can finally use this meme and IT IS LEGIT!

So I decided to go on with the challenge anyway and finish it! BECAUSE I CAN!!! BOOOOOM!

Pink

I didn’t have anything in particular that inspired me for this mani other than I was purely just looking for another excuse to use my fan brush. So let’s get on with it, shall we?

I started out by laying down 2 coats of my ol’ faithful Sinful Colors Snow Me White. Next, I went in with my nail art fan brush and made random strokes from my cuticles towards the tip of my nails using China Glaze Make An Entrance, Tip Top Nail Chic Melting Marshmallow and WOW Nail Polish #393. Easy peasy lemon squeazies!

This mani felt very...okay to me. Not bad but not WOW! Still kind of pretty though. My favourite nail was the middle finger nail. The others I went a little brush crazy but yeah, crazy is what crazy does! Oh, I also mattified my nails afterwards with China Glaze Matte Magic just for funsies. *cue INXS* Mattify, mattify me! HEY! ...ANYHOO! I actually preferred the glossy version but sharing the matt version with you guys anyway.

Lots of mad love...

 

Chalky...But in a good way!

Hi lovelies! I don't really have a lot to say today but sometimes that's a good thing! Gives you a chance to put your ear down on the ground for a bit and just listen. Appreciate the things around you. Like appreciating a ramble free day from me! See, bonus!

Today's mani is a mani that I did last year when a few brands came out with the whole Chalkboard trend, which was basically matte pastel polishes over matte black polish. I actually really like the whole trend but what if you don't want to buy matte pastel polishes? Especially if the bottle only comes with a striping brush! So I went for the next best thing...matte topcoat!

I started out by laying a base coat of black using WOW Nail Polish #393. On the nails. I then made a variety of colored flowers and dots using China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le (blue), China Glaze Spontaneous (purple), OPI If You Moust, You Moust (pink), Sinful Colors Open Seas (green) and Tip Top Lemon Fuel (yellow).

To give it the whole Chalkboard look, I just added a coat of China Glaze Matte Magic Top Coat to finish it off.

Okay, so most of the colors I used aren't exactly “pastels” but I still think it came out looking pretty damn cute! All this means is I'm just going to have to buy some pastel polishes in the future. We now see it's a necessity! PRIORITIES PEOPLE!

If you would like me to swatch any of the colors you saw in today’s post, please let me know via email or drop me a comment below. More than willing to oblige! 

Lots of mad love...
