Greetings and Nailutations,
Today I'm a few days late for 2 prompts that I combined. The 30 Days of Colour Challenge (where we work on untried polishes) called for rainbows and the Weekly Dose of Rainbows Challenge called for freestyle rainbow - so obviously they were combined.
Now let's get to the details,
A journey through indie nail polish and nail art. Every story has a beginning, so that is why it is BeginNails.

Rainbow Splatter
Greetings and Nailutations,
It's February 1st, which means a new A Weekly Dose of Rainbows prompt! This month the theme is splatter! I've only tried splatter once before and I've tried using a bobby pin and it worked "ok." This time I wanted to try another technique for splatter. What exactly did I use? An old TOOTHBRUSH! I didn't want to get polish all over my splattering hand, so I looked for a latex glove and realized all we had was vinyl gloves (my husband has them for administering topical medicine to our cat which impacts humans). FYI - POLISH AND VINYL DO NOT MIX!! Haha, oops - evidently I wasn't paying attention in chemistry....or maybe it was the glass of wine?
Products used:
Drip Drop Nail Paint - Yoga Pants
K*Sea Gale's Nails - Seven Grandfathers Teachings Collection (press sample)
Dream Polish - Gem Glam Top Coat (press sample)
Toothbrush
The rainbow prompts are once a month, come join us!
For me, the splattering is a little to subtle and the bobby pin worked a lot better. In the future I won't attempt toothbrush splattering. I would have liked to see a strong splatter effect. Also...does anyone else see the splatter that looks like an animal or it just me?
Happy Polishing,
Kristi aka BeginNails

Rainbow Celebration of New Years
Greetings and Nailutations!
My first blog post of the New Year! I have a few resolutions for my blog. I'd like to incorporate more nail art into my blog. I'd also like to rely less on stamping and push myself to do more free hand. So to start off the New Year I have a nail art post! I'm attempting to participate in a few nail art challenges and today I am combining 2 themes: New Year's for the A Weekly Dose of Rainbows Challenge and Celebration for the 30 Days of Colour Challenge. Links included if you are looking for some nail art groups!
