DAY 3 *Black & White Challenge* - Lithium

'Lithium'


Today's nail design involves a band that I mentioned in my last post - they're such a blast from the past for me at the moment and I'm just getting back into listening to them. Ahh good old nostalgia :') The name of this design is after one of there songs.
That's right... You guessed it! My nails have indeed been inspired by the one and only Nirvana.

From left to right:
Dave Grohl (Drummer)
Kurt Cobain (Vocalist/Guitarist)
Krist Novoselic (Bassist)

















For this design, I used quite a few nail polishes (5 to be exact...), some studs - which I love so much and can't get enough of (seriously) and a longish tipped brush - but not the longest, because lots of precision and patience was needed!












Hope this photo isn't too small?!









I made sure that on each nail I could do something different, yet colours or a symbol that may represent the band. Feast your eyes on these babies! - Which I am so happy with :)



My precious studs! :)

DAY 2 *Black & White Challenge* - Skulls

Hey guys,
So I'm sitting here listening to Nirvana (haven't done so in SO long), blogging about my nail addiction and couldn't give a damn about revision tonight! Had enough of that all day :| No rest for the wicked eh?!
I did my nails and sat back with a smile of content on my face :) Guess my nails reflect my choice of music today - if you haven't heard of Nirvana (especially Smells Like Teen Spirit) then you're actually mad.


Today's Day 2 nails of the challenge involved my stamper, scraper and stamping plates, oh and not to mention - the AWESOME studs I ordered off of eBay to add some presence and texture. If I do say so myself, I think they really do compliment the design!

eBay - £2.88 (1.5 mm silver circle studs)



Plate m39

Plate m45





Here are the nail varnishes I used for this one - they're not the best quality but its what I have at the moment. I really need to stock up on some more asap...








So here are some photos of my final design, hope you all like it and let me know what you think! :)




Stay tuned for Day 3 of the nail challenge!
