The New Black



Awhile back I was perusing the web for some nail inspiration and I came across a nail art design that The New Black had posted to be used with some of their new polish packs.  The premise is two nail colors and a nail art striper and they gave a series of designs for each combo.  This one is meant to be done with a pink/blue/black combo and since I have plenty of those things I decided to give it a go!  I used all Models Own colors for the design and it really didn't take me very long.  One thing I had to trial and error was the blue stripe.  At first I was polishing the whole nail blue and then going over it with the pink but then I decided that I liked it better when I did the pink as the base and just swiped blue across the bottom.  Obviously it's a bit trickier to keep a nice nail line around the cuticle BUT it keeps the whole thing from getting too thick!!  I used Utopia, Bloo Bloo and my trusty Nail Art Pen to create the look! Thanks for following!! Anyone have The New Black set used to create this?

Petal Pushers



Yesterday's challenge for the Purple Crumpet Fairy was to do a blossom tree.  First I thought I wanted to do Japanese cherry blossoms.  I love cherry blossoms and they always look so pretty on a nice, muted blue green background.  But I've already done cherry blossoms twice now...a bit better the second time I think!  So I didn't want to do that again. And I wanted to go in a little bit different of a different direction with the color and shape of the flowers.  So here are my first lily-like flowers. Obviously they need a bit of tweaking but I think they came out rather nicely under the circumstances!!  I apologize for the horrendous quality of this picture.  I really need to try to remember to bring my camera to school with me!!  I hope you all enjoy and thanks for following!! :)
