Today I have day 18 of the MoYou 31 day nail art challenge for you. The theme of the day was Song. I went back and forth about which song to do or whether to do a more generic music/Roxy Collection inspired nail art. I scrolled through my playlists thinking maybe I could find inspiration that way and finally settled on Men At Work - Land Down Under. I thought this would work well because then I could break out my Explorer and Tourist Collection plates again! So let's take a look.
Mani-louge
Basecoat / Topcoat: CND Stickey / Sally Hansen Diamond Flash
Base color: Wet N Wild Teal Slowly and See
Accent nail: Orly Color Burst Neon Pink, Zoya Thande, and China Glaze Happy Go Lucky
Stamping polishes: Mundo de Unas #30, Konad Special Polish in Red and Yellow
Stamping plates: MoYou London Explorer 06 and Tourist 09
So I will be honest and say I'm not entirely pleased with how this mani turned out. Mainly I felt like the dot art could have been a bit more cleanly executed and I likely would have entirely redone those two nails however I ran out of time. Often during this challenge I was running home from work and school exhausted and would try to pull something together. The challenges that frustrated me the most were the ones where I ran out of time. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my nail art. If I misstamp an image it comes off and gets redone until I'm happy unless of course I'm under a time constraint. So this ended up being another mani I'd like to reattempt in the future. The one thing I will say I absolutely loved about this was the colors especially on the sunset nail.
I really like this. The colors and patterns are very nice!! I especially love the index finger!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweetums :) The index finger is one that I would actually redo over since the pattern got distorted, but I love how the colors came together as well!
