MoYou London 31 Day Nail Art Challenge: Day 7 Red

Hey lacqueristas,

Welcome to Day 7 of my the MoYou London nail art challenge!  I'm hitting my stride now after all anything I can do for a week daily will start to feel like habit making it a bit easier to churn out the product (so to speak).  The theme for this challenge was red.  I actually prefer it when the themes are broad like this instead of narrowed down because it allows my creativity to breath.  A challenge like London is tough because no matter what I need to pull elements from that city and culture into the design, but something like a color has so many interpretations.  Red for passion, rage, blood, prosperity/luck (yup),  etc.  I could interpret this color in 1000 ways and all of them would be correct.  So I just decided to stamp on whatever base I wanted using elements of the color red with a fun hip-hop inspired design.

Mani-louge

Basecoat/Topcoat: CND Stickey / Sally Hansen Diamond Flash

Base color: Orly Satin Satin Reflection and Ethereal Lacquer Claire de Lune

Stamping polish: Konad Special Polish in Red and Yellow, Mundo de Unas #2

Stamping plates: MoYou London Roxy 01 and 05

Claire de Lune was actually from the April Indie-Go-Box.  I was so pulled into the colors that came with this set that I couldn't dare pass on the box.  Claire de Lune is my first Ethereal Lacquer though I will say I have been stalking her brand from afar for a while.  One thing about indies is that there are a plethora of them and it's tough to choose those that are unique but also creative.  I do feel Ethereal Lacquer falls into this category, but I always seem to miss the restocks.  In any case CdL is a shimmering silver based holographic topper packed with blue glass flecks.  I love it.  It's soft and romantic and the holo was so powerful I couldn't stop angling my nails in the sun for better looks.



Thoughts? I'm really happy with how these nails turned out.  I need a few more challenges with such broad parameters and I'll be a happy lady!  In any case thanks so much for sticking with me through this challenge! I can't believe I made it as far as day 7 already.  I know I'm behind on the posts, but I suspected this would happen since I really have to crank them out for IG and not for posts initially.  Thanks for reading and see you next post...
