Lace nails

It's been such a long time since my last entry for the weekly challenge over at Nail Polish Queens (NPQ) community.
Which is actually sad because I really like those weekly challenges and the community!

This week the challenge is: Lace
Although I consider myself more of a free hand painter, lace is a thing that looks just weird when I'm doing it free hand.
And, let's be honest, the lace patterns on stamps and decals are out of this world!

Today I bring you another nail art with the use of water decals.
And again, these came from Born Pretty Store.

Let's have a look at them :D





As you can see there are black and white lace patterns and I immediately had to think about a wedding themed nail art.

As a base for my nail art I've used this gorgeous polish by Dance Legend.
Anna Gorelova by Dance Legend 03 Gold Fish
Gold Fish is a sheer platinum gold filled with larger scattered holo particles that look like white gold particles without direct lighting,
A polish really suited for wedding nails.
However, when I started applying this polish it was kind of sheer. It did build up but it took me about 5 coats to have it as I please.
Application was really easy and I was able to apply the other coats very soon after the previous.
But...I smudged a nail right after finishing application and had to start all over again.
I decided to make it more easy for myself by using a 1 coater platinum gold as base for the Gold Fish...leading it to be used more as a topcoat.
The color underneath Gold Fish is:
Maybelline Forever Strong Pro 820 Winner takes it all!

I cut the water decals so I could make a V-shape (Chevron).




I'm really pleased with the elegance.
What do you think?

Day 205) Black & white abstract nail art

No inspiration!
In my case this often means I end up with an abstract or flower nail art :-/

I'm glad I took some pictures in the middle of the process, because after the picture (of today's nail art), I tried to color the white lines in and it turned out very ugly.

However, here is today's nail art:

Day 174) Nail art Yoga

I got a request for Yoga nails.
She sent me some pictures of Yoga poses which she would like to see on my nails.
I'm always happy with requests, that way I have some inspiration when I'm out of it.
It took me quite some time to make these...I'm not that good at drawing people and animals.
I chose to do shadows, this way it shows less failures ;-D

Me and my striper brush and some black and white nail polish...here is my nail art:

Day 164) Nail art black and white

I love black and white!
Our interior is almost completely in black and white (that's how much I love it ;-D).
Today's nail arts are in black and white and they almost completely cover the nails.
I have to say I'm more a fan of subtle designs, but these aren't bad either.
As inspiration I used black and white abstract art by various artists.


I prefer the one on the middle finger.
What's your favourite?
