September Nail Challenge | Coral & Flowers

Hi again,

Hope everybody's good.

A few months ago I completed the February nail challenge and promised I'd do another soon but then life happened.
 While scrolling through my Instagram feed last week I came across a picture on @gigislacqueredup page of @clairestelle8 September Challenge and decided to give it a go. The last one I did was back in February and I've been meaning to do another but life happened.

Below is the list of entries for the challenge.

Ok, so the plan is to show you my entries for the challenge every Sunday as usual as I have no time to blog during the week. So far I'm off to a bad start lol.

Anyway, they're eight manis to be done in the challenge and I knew from the outset they were going to be a bit of a challenge for me asthe nail art's a tad bit rusty from non-use.

The first mani for September 3rd was themed 'Coral' and I did a simple mani with a gold accent nail. Now being entirely truthful this wasn't what I had planned. I'd initially pulled out the nail vinyls and shades of coral in the stash and got to work. But...it turned out nothing like I envisioned. Hence the boring plain Jane mani.

September 6th's mani was a bit more detailed. The theme was 'Flowers' so I got out the dotting tools and set to work. Here's what I came up with. Not perfect, but I liked it.

So those were my first two entries fort he challenge and hopefully I only get better from here.

Hope you liked them. Until next time...

Favourite Colour - Day 20 of the January Nail Art Challenge

Hi Guys,

I'm back for Day 20 of the January Nail Art Challenge. I know this post is a day late and I apologize but after I left my dance class last night I was too tired to do anything else.

Today's theme was "Favourite Colour" and this was by far the hardest theme yet. Let me explain. I by no means have the largest nail collection but with over 100 colours they're several favourites and it gets hard to choose.

Products Used;

Orly Bonder Basecoat

Jordana Tangy

HK Girl Topcoat

My favourite colour is generally black but when it comes to my nails not so much. I like my corals and my blues and purples and the cremes and shimmers. Ugghhhh it's too much to choose from!!!
I ended up with a few options but chose Jordana Tangy because I was feeling coral last night and I hadn't used this one in a while.

The runners up were:
OCC Technopagan
Revlon Color Stay Eternal Oceans
Glam Polish Unforgettable Dream
Essie Butler Please

I actually considered doing a skittle mani with all the colours because I love them all. As I type this and stare at my fingers I wish I had gone with Technopagan but oh well, Tangy's still a pretty colour.

Slight review lol...cuz I like people to be well informed before they possibly make a purchase.

Jordana polishes are inexpensive but the quality is excellent (the cream polishes in particular). This was a one-coater but I did two out of habit. My other Jordana polishes are also one-coaters. The range of colours available in Barbados isn't extensive but it's a good variety of colours and finishes, particularly for persons who may like nail polish or to paint their nails but don't want to break the bank. Jordana is sold in Imart and other beauty stores around the island but I can guarantee Imart always has as well as other products from their makeup line.They're also available to purchase online from Jordana's website. 

Until next time...
