13 Days of January Nail Art Challenge:Something You've Never Tried - Negative Space Mosaic

Nothing to Disclose



Today is the last day of the 13 Days of January Nail Art Challenge. It's just a shortened version of Crumpet's Nail Tarts January 31 Day Challenge for those of us too busy for the full one. I quite enjoyed posting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout January instead of the more strenuous every single day posting.

The prompt for the last day is "Something You've Never Tried" so I went with Negative Space. I'm not a fan of them on myself because my nails are too yellow naturally. Add in the extra staining from swatching all the time and it ain't pretty.  They're less stained near my cuticle so that's where I've placed the "negative space."

I did lay down a base coat first, and then I used Kiko 339 for the blue and just free-handed the frame and "mosaic" lines. Probably not a technique I'll be trying again - I'll just admire them from afar. But I had fun with it!

13 Days of January Nail Art Challenge: Green Base - Framed Mosaic

*These products are Cruelty Free 


Today we continue the 13 Days of January Nail Art Challenge. It's just a shortened version of Crumpet's Nail Tarts January 31 Day Challenge for those of us too busy for the full one. We will be posting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout January.

This prompt is "Green Base" - talk about wide open prompt! So I just did a framed abstract/mosaic and called it done! You leave ANY room anywhere for me to be lazy and I'm all over it like stink on a road apple!

Green Base - Framed Mosaic

For this mani I used a base of KBShimmer Honey Dew List  (sent for review) - one of the few lighter greens that is bright enough for my pale skin. I framed it and did the mosaic nails with Wet n Wild WildShine Black Creme.
