Different Shades of Blue Challenge - Ruffian (First attempt)

Hello ladies!

It's time for a new manicure from the Different Shades of Blue Challenge. I hope you aren't getting tired of so much blue but think that it's for a good cause i.e. autism awareness. So todays theme is blue ruffian and I was very excited about it because I have never tried this design before on my nails and I was quite curious how it would look because of the shape of my nails (which is not that straight).

It's quite easy to achieve this look you first have to paint your nails white then place the french strips near the cuticules, then add the blue and you're done.

Different Shades of Blue Challenge - Joined opposites

Hello ladies!

As promised today I have for you another manicure from the Different Shades of Blue Challenge. The theme is puzzle pieces and I have to admit that I'm not that good at geometric designs so I've kept it simple. I've split the nails in two then added the dots and that's it. Simple right? And let me tell you the effect is awesome. I love it!

The design does look better in real life I don't know why :)) Anyways I'll try to post tomorrow some pictures in natural light (if I don't smudge them in my sleep ^^)

Different Shades of Blue Challenge - Rainbows

Hello lovelies!

Today is another special day for my blog ^^ I've recently joined a Facebook group and the ladies over there are so welcoming and lovely. I'm glad that from now on I'll be able to participate to different challenges and I'm sure that it will improve my nail art skills a bit. So currently the Different Shades of Blue Challenge is taking place and today's theme is rainbows. I've missed the first theme because of the flu and it's frustrating 'cause I had a pretty idea. Anyways, here is my manicure:

This watercolor technique is growing on me, you can get some pretty interesting effects with it. In this particular manicure I wanted to emulate the sky.
