Crumpet's Nail Tarts Pick N Mix 52 Week Challenge!!!

 

 Hello Dahlings!

 

Today is the 1st day of Crumpet's Nail Tarts

52 Week Pink N Mix Challenge!

What does this mean?

Every week the group has 2 prompts to play with,

one is a technique or theme

da other is a color or several colors

that are untried or haven't been worn in ages.

We can do them as 2 separate posts

or combine them into one mani.

My hope is to combine each week's prompts

into one mani & post.

We'll see what happens!

 

 

Da prompts for week 1 are a two color gradient & teal.

 

 I started with 2 thin, cuticle flooding coats of Orly Pretty Ugly.

It looks pretty enuf, but the application is fugly for sure.

 

 I sponged on Orly Teal Unreal.

It took several sponged coats to get it to mostly opaque.

It wasn't as bad as PU, but if I ever do a purge...

both of these can go.

 

 I decided to try a new for me method of DIY decals.

I stamped this image from Cheeky Jumbo Plate 4

using Mentality Black stamping polish

onto my rectangular squishie stamper & let it dry there.

I then dabbed Cutting Edge Nails Ocean Pearl into da image.

Once that dried, I added a coat of clear polish & let that dry.

I then painted a coat of clear polish on my finger,

applied my decal & trimmed da edges.

Acetone & my clean up brush took care of da stray bits of decal.

I sealed this meh mess in with a coat of Seche Vite.

 

Da line up ~ Orly Pretty Ugly & Teal Unreal,

Mentality Black Opaque, & Cutting Edge Ocean Pearl.

 

Next week ~ 3 color gradient & pink!
