RETO DE 31 DÍAS Día 11: POLKA DOTS / LUNARES

You probably noticed how I rebelled and didn't do Sunday's challenge Gradient Nails...oopsie! I just really wanted to enjoy my patriotic mani last weekend I'm sorry!! But I will do it....soon....I hope! ;)

So today we are on the day 11 and that means we are beginning with the patterns! Though as you could see, we've all used some patterns for our past creations in the challenge... but it's fun to know that now we can use any colors we want which makes this a whole lot more fun because I get to use my untrieds!!!! Yay!!!

For example this color: Spanish Moss by Revlon. I had had it for a while and never used it before and I kept seeing that Zoya Evvie and couldn't help to think of this shade. I wanted to wear it so badly!-specially since Zoya is not available in Mexico :(-  I have been pleasantly surprised by the line Colorstay of Revlon. The application is good, the brush is great to work with and the formula is so pigmented I did ONE coat. Can you believe it? It's a great cheaper choice!


Look at it isn't it the perfect shade for transitioning to fall? I'm sooo loving it :)
*I realized in the pics this color looks grey! but it isn't, it is green...just so you know

On my accent nails I used two coats of Whimsical by L.A. Girl a great nude shade and used two dotting tools of different sizes with Spanish Moss.

 

A day later I went on with my original idea, but I guess I still like more the look above!

Así que hoy estamos en el día 11 lo cual quiere decir que empezamos con: patrones!!! Siiii!!! Me late mas esta idea porque ya podemos usar los colores que queramos y yo puedo usar al fin los que tengo y nunca he usado por ejemplo: Spanish Moss de Revlon. Es un verde militar cremoso muuuy de moda para el otoño que desde que lo vi me encantó. Además de que esta muy pigmentado y con una sola capa cubre muy bien.

Para el tema de hoy que es "Uñas con Lunares" hice primero solo la "accent nail" con base Whimsical de L.A. Girl, es un color carne. Y al día siguiente prosegui con mi idea original y tambien le hice puntitos a las demás uñas aunque creo que me gustaba mas antes!

Hacer los lunares es muy fácil, yo uso el palito de madera que es para bajar la cuticula. En el paquetito que compré vienen 4 y tienen diferente punta lo que me permite hacer puntos grandes y chicos con uno y otro.

Hasta la próxima!^^

31 Day Challenge Day 7: BLACK & WHITE


Hey ladies!!! TGIF right?? :) so today we're doing the classic combo of black and white and I think maybe because of the mimes in their black and white striped shirts it reminds me of France.

 
When I saw this post I definitely fell in love with it and I took this theme as an opportunity to finally try it. I was a bit scared that it wouldn't turn out very well because white has always been a pain in the back to apply for me. This formula wasn't the exception. I used Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear White On. I had to apply it in 3 fast streaks. I did two coats and then the dotting with Circuits from L.A. Girl Color Craze and 2 different sized dotting tools. For the accent nails I used the colors the other way around.

 
 
Finally don't forget to check my partners so you can get tons of ideas of black and white manis!!
