Flip / Flop February Challenge - Day 27 - Recreate Someone Elses

I did this from memory as at the time, I couldn't find where I had seen it.

I eventually found it - at Rambles of a Polish Addict. Her little owls that she did as her skittles mani were so cute!

I realise now where I went wrong - the eyes are not quite right on these, making them look not quite as owlish. The other half thought they were dogs *sigh* but live and let learn and all that! :) I definitely will try owls again at some point as I love them so much :)

Polishes used:

Models Own Pro - Aqua
Zoya - Purity
Nicole by Opi - Loyalty to Royal-ty

Flip / Flop February Challenge - Day 25 - Youtube Tutorial / Tape

This one was dead easy for me to pick because I was really stuck for later days.

Day 27 is recreate someone elses mani. There are two that have really stood out in my mind, but I can only do one of them. So today, I picked this one because you can find Youtube tutorials to do similar and I don't think I could have done it without one!

The one I love is Cazzy's at Special Girl Nails which you can see here :) I love the classic colours and they look stunning on her nails, but they don't suit me as much, so I was over the moon to find this tutorial that uses colours that suit my skin tone more :)

Vintage Rose Tutorial

The roses and leaves are slightly different to Cazzy's but I think they still look good in the tutorial. I am pretty happy with my final nails for my first attempt. What do you think?

Colours used are:

Models Own Pro - Jade-anna for the accent nails base, with George Cupcake on its own and mixed with a little white for the roses and Barielle - Central Park on its own and mixed with white for the leaves.

I used George - Cupcake for my pinky, index and thumb too. I am super happy with this polish as Becca at Kittys Painted Claws gave me it as a freebie as it didnt suit her skin tone. Its my only pink that I really love! Also, as I've almost used it up, its not expensive to replace - I just hope Asda still have it in!

Check out everyone else's mani's today!

Flip / Flop February Challenge - Day 14 - Valentines Day / French Tips

Gone for french tips - never ever done them so i've gone for simple - left my nails bare (bar a base and top coat) so i apologise if you think the staining is really bad but I actually really like the tips :)I've used my trusty cheapy black, then Models Own Pro in Aqua, Jade-anna and Lavender Blue for the dotticure and bow :)Actually liked this enough to paint both hands which is on the rare side for my challenge nails! :) (cause i'm so crap haha!)

 

Check out everyone else's nails!
