Day 3: Strawberry Nails

I was pretty excited to do today's fruit. I LOVE strawberries. They define summer for me. I just can't get enough of them.

So, I thought I'd keep the design simple. I felt that going over the top would ruin the effect I was going for, which was making my nails look good enough to eat. I think I achieved that status with this fruit.

The only problem I ran into this time around was how vibrant my red was. When I was trying to clean up the excess polish from around my nails, it turned my fingers red. It was a mess! Thankfully I got most of it. There are stubborn spots still slightly visible, though.

I tried to get fancy by outlining the leafy part on my ring finger with gold. The green polish I used has so many sparkles in it that you can barely tell. I probably should have gone for a darker green. I still love how it turned out, nonetheless.

 For today's mani, I used China Glaze High Roller as the base. Then I used Zoya Meg, Maybelline Color Show Onyx Rush, and Orly Instant Artist 24K Glitter.

Day 1: Watermelon Nails

When I was deciding which fruits to choose for the week long challenge, the very first one that popped into my mind was watermelon, of course!

When I was rummaging through my nail polish collection, I realized that I didn't own any bright pink. I'm not a fan of reds, pinks, oranges, and yellows, so I own mostly cool colors. 

Now, instead of running to the nearest store to buy a bright pink, I remembered that my coworker gave me a few bottles of nail polish that her daughter never used anymore. One was a vibrant, but sheer pink. I decided I would see if layering it over one of my lighter pink shades would suffice, and it did! Look at how gorgeous and bright that pink is.

I'm happy with the way this design turned out. My inner perfectionist is screaming that my lines aren't perfectly straight, though. I know I'll improve in time, but for now, this is the best I can do.

If you take a look at the seeds in the watermelon, it almost seems like they're smiling at you...

For this design, I used China Glaze Dance Baby and Revlon Just Tinted Desire for the base. Then I used Zoya Meg, Sinful Colors Show Me The Way, Piggy Polish 6 Impossible Things, and Maybelline Color Show Onyx Rush.
