How is it time for the next challenge already?!
I'm currently feeling so poorly. I've managed to escape every lurgy going this Winter, but some germy gits have got me. I can never get just a simple cold, it always has to go straight to my chest. I have asthma & Scarring on my lungs, so if it gets to them, I really suffer. I currently feel like I have a rice crispy in my right lung, a lot of snap, crackle & popping.
The reason I shared this with you, is so you can understand why this challenge has been the hardest yet. Nail Varnish fumes are a killer. As are the fumes from Acetone. Lots of coughing, but once I have an idea, I have to go with it, so I soldiered on.
I had a completely different idea at the beginning of the week, using rhinestones. I then googled & cam up with this instead, using tips from lots of different photos & mashing them together.
Like I've previously said, I'm not a fan of plain manicures, so here is my attempt at Orange:
Sadly, like my Mother pointed out, they don't look very Orange!In natural light, I promise you it's orange, with a bit of yellow. I haven't cheated!
I love Butterfly nail art, & have wanted to try it for a while, but never got the inspiration, & ignoring the bad lighting, I'm quite proud of these. Yay!
I didn't take photos of the steps I took, but I did manage to take a photo of everything I used.
Even in this photo, my Orange doesn't look very Orange. How annoying.
Can't wait to see what the other girls have come up with!
I will be doing a mid-week post, as my new Konad Stamping kit arrived. So I'll do a review on that.
Catch ya laters.

These are so 100% professional looking Kay! I'd love to try this but I'd never get it half as good as you have managed. Absolutely stunning! You rock my nail-art-world :-D Xx
ReplyDeleteThey're surprisingly easyyy! I heart you though. <3 x
DeleteHow did you do it then? Is the base like an orange/yellow gradient? And then black nail art pen/brush over the top for the detail? I totally wouldn't be able to do it! Adding it to my list of things to try though x
ReplyDeleteWhite base, then orange on top so it stood out more. Couple of lines with black nail art pen, then using a fine brush, splodged some really cheapy yellow in between the lines. xxx
DeleteIt looks amazing !!
