30 Days of Colour: Color blocking with vinyls, pastel creams and holos "Holo undies"

Introduction

Two days later, but I want to post my cream/color blocking mani for 30 Days of Color challenge. I had an idea to make double color blocking and use some vinyls, which I bought at Emily de Molly website, it was way to ambitious for my level of this technique. The polish combo of paste creams and holos works together marvelous, but whole mani would look much better with gradient technique, rather than blocking. Needless to say it took ages to dry and looks very thick. I could not decide which bottle to hold, so I made a group bottle pictures instead :) My favorite is spiral on the thumb, that's why I plan to repeat this mani using gradients and spirals.

30 Days of Colour: Picture polish Never nude and Chillax blocking nail art

Introduction


My post today is a bit different, because I decided to show pictures of nail art which I did 8 months ago before I even started this blog. The only new pictures are macros of nail and polish in the bottle. So this is going to be my #flashbackFriday post :) I really like the idea for this mani, however now I probably would have done it much better and for sure I would have taken better pictures. To be honest, I did this look as soon as I received Never nude, because I was so inspired by it, but I never touched this polish after. Swear to change it and use this beauty soon.  I'm actually planing to dedicate entire May to the usage of Picture polish, since I bought 17 new bottles.
