Whaley Big Mountains

Hey everyone! More Glam Nails Challenge nail art to share with you today. The theme for this one was whales. I wanted to do something a bit different to the last whale nails I did (which I loved!) for some variety and went for a night sky vibe. Stamping plates used were Mo You London's Sailor 18 and Atlantis 02.

I started with two coats of dark blue jelly polish and while it was drying made some decals on my Uber Mat of whales and mountains, you can see how here. I then added some stars and moons in silver and a rippling water image in light blue. Once dry I added the decals over the top, and added a whale nail in the water on my ring fingernail. I finished the look with a glossy top coat, and then tried matte. I love matte looks but I think I like this best glossy.

I am pleased with the look in some ways however it came out a lot darker than planned. The base polish runs a but which doesn't help. It made the stars look purple and the images blend into the background even more. The pictures are under good lighting but in some lighting it's hard to see the design.

Colours used: Indigo Ink - Nail Paint Palette, Black Stamping Polish - Dance Legend, Little Bo Peep - Rimmel, Grey - Barry M, Can't Find My Czechbook - OPI, Cream Soda - Barry M, Foil Effect in Silver - Barry M 

Ocean At Night Nails ft. Starwhal

Heyy everyone! Last catch up before I'm onto the nail art I'm currently wearing. I was hoping to get my old laptop up and running so I could get my old watermark back but no such luck this evening so we've still got the yellow logo on my nail pictures! This nail art was one I'd been meaning to do for a while, using the Sailor 18 plate from Mo You London which I absolutely adore! I was also keen to try out this lovely blue metallic, Seventh Seal, having enjoyed another Emily de Molly magnetic polish I bought recently.

I started with a base of white on my index and little fingernails, and Seventh Seal on all other nails. Seventh Seal is a magnetic polish, so I used the circle end of my nail magnet to create a special effect. You can just about see in the pictures that there are darker circles in the middle of those nails. On the middle two nails of each hand I stamped shoals of fish. On the other nails I used my Uber Mat to create some decals. For all decals I have used a holographic silver to fill in the gaps so the little stars would shine through.

You can't see very well as the images wouldn't quite fit but the creatures at the top of my index fingernails are narwhals with stars (hence 'Starwhal'), underneath are humpback whales. I was really pleased with these :) worth the wait! I kept them on for quite a while. Hope you like them too!
