31DC2013 DAY 19: GALAXIES / Día 19: Galaxias

Looking for photos for this nail art I found a wallpaper of a purple one with a green nebula, fell in love with the color and tried to reproduce it. Like always I got a little bit carried away and couldn't help it but to outline with the turquoise that is greener in real life, don't know why this color always wash out in photos, maybe it's me and my poor photo skills ;)

The polishes: Revlon Grape, China Glaze Up All Night and Fairy Dust, NYX Pistachio, Color Club Age of Aquarius, Sinful Colors Snow me White and Bissú Violeta Neón.

 

31DC2013 DAY 18: HALF MOONS / Día 18: Medias lunas

I've had these snake print China Glaze appliqués for quite some time now and didn't have the chance to use it until now. They are sooo easy to apply because they are very thin and flexible so it reduces the risk of getting wrinkles besides, they have the right amount of stickiness so if you make a mistake you can move them and still get them well adhered.

The only thing that I didn't like was that there are no middle sizes, just little or big, only two of them fit my fingers, the other ones I had to cut them down to fit, is not that big of a problem, but... I'm lazy!!! :P
Other that that they are very very good and they say that are real nail polish and certainly look like it.

Paint them over with Maybelline Color Show Midnight Taupe and outlined the half moon with some random golden glitter.

31DC2013 DAY 17: GLITTER / Día 17: Glitter

This is a weird color combo that is just the result of wanting to mix two of my favorite glitters: NYX Be Jeweled: little green and yellow glitters on a dark teal base (middle finger) and Essence Time for Romance: very little and hexagonal metallic pink glitters in a dark pink, almost burgundy, base (pink finger).

So I just went with the flow and complemented with similar colors: NYC East Village as a base, with a gradient with NYX Carnival on top (ring finger) and just because I don't want it to look like someone threw up glitter on my hands :P went for a simple look in the point finger with the fantastic Bissú Metalarte. For the thumb I kind of did a jelly sandwich with green hexagonal glitter and the NYC polish.

So that's it... I think I like it after all, looks very festive!

31DC2013 DAY 16: TRIBAL PRINT / Día 16: Print Tribal

Tribal print is one of my favorite print, even though there is no novelty here with the pattern. 

I would like to try more complicated ones, but the truth was that my eyes hurt really bad last night, blame it to working all day in front of a computer, besides I'm beginning to suspect that I need glasses :S

Anyway... what I was looking for was very bright colors over a dark one, thought black was boring so I opted for a burgundy and put a matte top coat, to give it a nice contrast. The studs were painted with the same polishes I used. 

Polishes: OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest, Essence Let's Get Lost, Little Miss Sunshine, Lime Up!; Rimmel Hot Shot and Kleancolor Madly Matte.

31DC2013 DAY 15: DELICATE PRINT / Día 15: Print Delicado

Lace... or something like it... you see, the problem with me is that I never know when to stop haha, so this begun looking like lace but I kept adding and adding lines so, in the end, I don't know what it looks like anymore, the good thing is that it still qualifies as delicate print ;)

For the ring finger I used crystals over black just to break a little the homogeneity.

I used China Glaze Inner Beauty as a base and freehanded the lines with acrylic paint and Kleancolor Black for the ring finger.

31DC2013 DAY 14: FLOWERS / Día 14: Flores

My nails are growing so much, so I thought to make big hibiscus flowers without the shape get lost in a small space.

I really really tried very hard to not outline them, but I liked that it looks clean and simple with all the negative space, maybe after this I will, just to see how it looks?

Polishes: Pure Ice Wild Thing, Revlon Crystal Glow and Mad About Mango, China Glaze For Audrey and Fairy Dust, Bissú Lavanda.

31DC2013 DAY 13: ANIMAL PRINT / Día 13: Animal Print

I really didn't want to go for the usual (leopard, zebra, etc.) so I looked for another texture that it can be put on nails and I found this chameleon, I still can't believe that those are real colors, nature is amazing isn't it?

I don't know if I succeeded all that well but I think I like it, just because it looks sooo weird ha!

I used Bissú Neon Green and Yellow for the base and acrylic paint for the rest.
