Explosions - Day 30 - Inspired by a Tutorial

Day 30 was kinda a flop for me. I was a little stressed out and just couldn't relax.  That usually makes for a bad nail day!  While I was pretty happy with the end result I couldn't get it exactly how I wanted it.  Now, looking back, it seems so easy.  I re-did it today as an accent nail and it came out just right!

The tutorial that inspired me is here Nailside - Explosion Tutorial and here is my submission for day 30. By the time I actually ended up with this I just didn't have time to do the third color for the challenge deadline and honestly I just didn't feel like working on it anymore!

I used Claire's Aqua and Finger Paints Easel Come, Easel Go for this one.

And here is my re-try of this design as just an accent nail. I used Claire's Bright Skies, FP Easel Come, Easel Go! and Sally Hansen Black heart.  I like this one MUCH better in terms of getting it to look like the tutorial. However, looking back at the original I realize that I do really like the way it came out!

Ever have one of those bad nail days where nothing seems to workout?  I hate those days!

Tape Mani - Day 2 - Orange Nails

Oh how I wish I had a better camera!  I loved the way this mani looked in person but it just didn't want to photograph very well.  The mattified polish came out looking fuzzy.  Oh well, I'll post it anyway since its part of the challenge!

I did a simple tape mani with the serrated edge of the tape dispenser.  I used Wet&Wild - Blazed and NYC -Fuchsia Shock then mattified it with Hard Candy - Matte-ly In Love.

Tomorrow is YELLOW!  I'm totally into yellow nail polish right now!
