40 Great Nail Art Ideas Does 3 Shades of Green

This weeks 40 Great Nail Art Idea's theme is 3 shades of green; I had added prompt of patchwork.

Started by making stamper decals using my three polishes; I chose a cream, OPI I'm Sooo Swamped, a microglitter, Painted Polish Shamrock Shimmy, and a crelly with green glitter, Noodles Nail Polish Clovers and Coins, which I hope make for some interest.  For the patchwork, used an image from A48.  The teddy bear is from OB42, filled with OPI I'm Sooo Swamped.

Cut the stamper decals down to size to fit.  For the accent, did one coat of Noodles Nail Polish Clover and Coins over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

Added teddy bear to accent.

Topped everything off with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.

I did these last night; this morning, we finally had some sun so took a picture in natural light.  You can see the holo in Painted Polish Shamrock Shimmy a little better.

Here's the other ladies three shades of green mani's with the different prompts!

NPC Challenge: Gifts

Nail Polish Canada's challenge is in week two; this weeks challenge was gifts...presents and stockings to reflect the gifts you may want.  This is what I came up with.

I should explain here that this really isn't what I would like for Christmas...I think Christmas is more about the kids (must be the mother of three in me!) so when it came time to do my mani, I thought more along the lines of kids and Christmas.  The bright colours, the presents and Santa and his sleigh full of gifts!

Started with a base of colourful skittles starting at thumb and going clockwise, OPI Bride's Bouquet, Duri Taming of the Shrew, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, Sinful Exotic Green and Sation Board Girl Blue, all two coats.

Stamped using fauxnad XL K (sleigh and presents), OB42 (teddy bear), HD9 (stocking) and W215 (tree on pinky) using black, red, royal purple and white Konad special polish and Sally Hansen Inta-dri Jumpin' Jade. I actually had a whole bunch of toy images set aside to add to the mani....unfortunately, only had so many fingers so did a universal bear that both boys and girls would like!

Added some colourful dots using assortment of Konad stamping polishes.

 
Topped with SV.
