Patch Me Up

Barry M

Today's Spring Challenge was patchwork pastel nails.  I was a little intimidated by this one.  I've seen some really nice patchwork nails and then some not so nice ones.  I've played around with patchy nails in the past and didn't really love the results but I must say I rather impressed myself with this one.  It came out pretty nice on the first try!! I think adding the white lines was really what made it come together because before that it looked like a hot mess!!  I don't know that my colors are really 'pastel' per say but they're very Spring!!  I started with a base of Barry M Peach Melba and then added random lines using China Glaze Kinetic Candy, Models Own Pastel Pink and Orly You're Blushing. Then I added white lines with an LA Art Nail Art striper in White.  I hope you all enjoy and thanks for following!!

Today's Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge is Pink Polka Dots.  I actually cheated a little bit on this because I'm not using pink. But...this is a peachy-pink and it's SO very pretty that I'm using it anyway!  I wanted to do something simple but fun for these so I went with some simple alternating colored dots. :)  I used Orly Prelude to a Kiss and You're Blushing from the new Spring Cool Romance Collection.  Easy and pretty!! (please excuse the AWFUL lighting on this. My mouse is AWOL for my computer to light editing is impossible and the lighting I have available to take photos in SUCKS. I encourage you to google swatches of these because they're WAY prettier in person!!)

Thanks for following!!
