31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 16-Tribal

Right. Tribal. Tribal nails are nice, fun, creative. I used to do a good deal of tribal nails. I tried to do a popular design I'd been seeing around lately (though it's arguably more 'Aztec'? I think so anyway). It uses a striper brush though, which I don't have, so I did my best with the regular polish brush. Enough rambling? I'd say.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 5-Blue

I was really excited for blue. I went in with a firm idea of what I was going to do, got the colors all ready, and set out to work.

And after I started, I quickly realized my plan had fallen apart.

I intended to do a night sky for today's challenge. Easy enough, right? It was mostly just a modified galaxy design. But then the blue-ness got lost in it, and by the end of trying to fix it, it seemed too barren and plain. So I added a city skyline to my night sky and thought, "Yeah, this looks pretty good. But the buildings are kind of lost against the background." So I added some lights on the buildings. And it looked better, but still, it didn't pop out, it more blurred together still. So I added a matte top coat. And after that, I gave up because there was nothing else I could think to do.
