31 Day Challenge - Day 31 - Recreate A Favorite Challenge

 -Cookies 'N' Cream-

I can't believe it, the challenge is over! We are at the final day, and I have chosen the black and white challenge as my final look. I am a fan of anything cookies and cream, whether it's the delicious ice cream or this fun nail design.

Polishes used: China Glaze - White on White, Orly - Liquid Vinyl, Cover Band - Sticks 'N Stones

This look is so simple to create using both black and white polishes and the polish Sticks 'N Stones by Cover Band. This is one good coat of Sticks 'N Stones, where I used the brush to "push" the bits around. What a fun, spunky look!

31 Day Challenge - Day 07: Black & White

- High Contrast Sugar Spun Nails -

For the black and white theme, I decided to try a technique that is new to me. I've heard lots about sugar spun nails, and honestly thought they would be perfect for day 7. I love the way my nails seem to pop with the white on black.

Polishes used: China Glaze - White on White, Orly - Liquid Vinyl

Sugar spun nails consist of using a dotting tool or toothpick to drag very tiny strands of goopy polish from side to side across the fingernail, which makes it extremely time consuming, but the end result is well worth it. 

I quickly found that there is a bit of a learning curve with this one, it took a bit of trial and error to get the strands to be the right consistancy, but once I got the hang of it, it was smooth sailing from there!
