40 Great Nail Art Ideas Does Mint Green

I did a quick 40 Great Nail Art Ideas mani before heading to work this morning; this weeks theme is mint green and I had added prompt of splatter!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of three coats of Delush Polish Amazemint, no top coat.  I found that it was best to wait a few minutes between coats for the polish to dry; I didn't do this on the index finger and then had some polish pull so it doesn't sit as nice on the nail as the rest of them for this reason, having to add a little thicker coat because of this.

Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.  Had some polish wrinkling due to the thickness of the top coat and base polish again on the index finger.  If I had more time, I would have done this nail again but it was before work this morning so didn't have any extra time.

For the splatter, I was going to do real polish splatter but too messy and not enough time so went with stamping splatter using MJ X and MoYou stamping polish in Ever Green.



Topped it all off with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC to finish.

Digit-al Dozen Does Nature; Day 4

I've always wanted to do an underwater scene and the Digit-al Dozen nature theme was as good excuse as any to finally attempt one!  Here's what I came up with!

Started out with a base of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Grey Matters; this is one coat, no top coat.  Not the best coverage, but I knew I'd be layering it.

 

For some interest and depth, added a coat of Delush Night at the Asylum; topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Infinity 11 (thumb, middle and index) and MoYou Sailor Collection-08 (pinky and ring) using Mundo de Unas 52 on all fingers except thumb.  Thumb was mix of Mundo 20 and 21.

Added a few more images from same plates using Mundo 13, 21 and 57 

Top coated.  I really liked the look for this just as it was.  In fact, I thought about leaving it as is in case more stamping wrecked it!

Added Zoya Godiva for sand.

Stamped sea creatures.  Plates used were MJ JR-24 (turtle on thumb), MoYou Sailor Colletion-01 (starfish on thumb), Infinity 71 (octopus and starfish on ring and fish on index), MoYou Sailor Collection-10 (pinky) and MJ Jr-30 (jellyfish on middle).  Stamping polishes were Mundo de Unas 11, 13, 21, 39.  Starfish on thumb was custom mix of Mundo 51 and white.  Added dots on octopus eye and yellow on fish.  

MoYou Sailor Collection-01

Infinity 71

MoYou Sailor Collection-10

MoYou Sailor Collection-08

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on top to finish.

I thought the glitter interest and stamping generally would look better is not so much shine, so added coat of OPI matte.  Not sure if I like it as much as it mutes the bold colours.  What do you think?
