Geometric Color Blocking

Color Blocking. Is. AMAZING!

I love this technique. It's so simple but you can create such amazing designs with it. Versatility at it's best. 

I decided to take the simpler route this time, wanna see?

I started out with a base of Essie Blanc. When that was dry I painted half of each nail Essie Boom Boom Room and then applied a layer of Seche Vite to speed up the drying process. Once my nails were fully dry I tape off each nail leaving a long triangle in the center. I painted over it with OPI This Gown Needs A Crown and immediately peeled off the tape. To finish it off I added a layer of NYC Matte Me Crazy to give this design a fun matte look.

I love how simple this look is but SO many people noticed them! Sometimes simpler is better right?

What do you guys think?

Thanks loves! :) 

31DC2014 Day 16: Geometric

Hey guys!

It's day 16 of the 31 Day Challenge 2014 and the them is geometric! I went the easy route today again with some stamping, but I have tomorrow off of work so I should be able to get back into doing some more fun free hand work! But these nails are so fun and colorful it makes the stamping okay! ;) 

I started off with a four different bases, Color Club Eternal Beauty, Color Club Miss Bliss, Color Club Over The Moon, and Color Club Kismet. When they were all dry I stamped over them using Bundle Monster's plate BM-417 and LA Colors Black. I sealed it all in with some Essie Good To Go and the design was finished!

I love using the Color Club Halo Hues they're just so holographic and sparkly and everything that makes me smile! ;) And the fun triangle stamp doesn't tone down the holographic-ness at all! 

Okay guys it's your turn, post a link to your 31DC2014 geometric nails in the comments so I can see! 

Thanks loves :) 

Abstract geometric

Ever have one of those nights where you can't figure out what to paint on your nails so you just start randomly doodling?

Yeah that definitely happened to me and the result is a geometric type design with some cool metallic and some pastel colors :) 

I started off this design with a base of Sally Hansen Silver Sweep. When that was dry I free handed some triangles on using Essie Penny Talk and outlined them with Lime Crime Parfait Day. Lastly I added some yellow lines through the triangles using Lime Crime Crema de Limon and I finished my design off with some Essie Good To Go.

They are a bit strange I suppose but I kind of feel like they are a fun geometric-esque design. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of doodling to get a fun design on your nails! And sometimes it's just enough to make people to go "huh?" ;) You tell me which situation you think this is!

Thanks loves :)
