Crumpets Nail Tarts Tri-Polish Challenge...Day 1

Crumpets Nail Tarts has come up with a new fun interesting challenge for us tarts. We are given three colors and we must pick one polish for each color and we can only use those three polishes plus a few freebies like black, white, gold, silver, and glitter. For March we had to pick a green, purple, and coral polish. I chose Zoya's Logan as my green, Julep's Sasha as my coral and Julep's Anne as my purple. We have to post a new design on the last two Tuesdays and Thursdays of the month. For one of the designs we have to use all three colors. I chose to do all three in my first one. I did a double french using tape as my guides.

I REALLY love these three colors together.

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge...Day 2...Orange

For day 2 we have to do a mani using the color orange. I am not a fan of orange but I ended up loving my nails. I got the color choices when I saw Rambles of a Polish Addicts design and decided I'd do orange and green (to me her polish looked green but now it looks yellow). I also saw a post on Facebook of a technique called saran wrap. I gave it a try and I am in LOVE, you will be seeing this technique a lot from me. It is so pretty.

 

I used Julep's Ingrid as my base and Fiona and Hoch as my marbled color.

 

To recreate this mani you need two colors. You apply one color as the base and you let that dry. For the method I tried you paint one coat of the top color and while it is still wet quickly dab a balled up piece of plastic wrap on the nail. Some of the top color will be pulled off leaving a marbled effect.

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge...Day 1...Red

I have found the perfect challenge, one design a week! I love trying new things with my nails but want to try to many challenges and hate re-doing them every day or two. This one is done every Friday. I am behind but thanks to it being extra relaxed I am already caught up.

I used Julep's Joan as my base, and then "tried" to put red striped glitter on the tips. My first attempt at striped glitter was definitely a learning experience. I suggest not doing it on the tips and using tweezers.
