30 Mani Marathon - Manicure 14: Flowers

Tulips

The flowers are Bondi Nyc Brick Road, Teal Magnolia, Strawberry Fields, and Uptown Girl, and the stem is China Glaze Starboard. All painted free hand and lined in black striping polish, and sealed with top coat.

30 Mani Marathon - Manicure 9: Rainbow Nails

The 9th task in the 30 Mani Marathon is Rainbow Nails.

To represent Rainbow Nails, I began with two coats of China Glaze Kalahari Kiss to create a neutral base. Then, I painted rainbow colors (Bondi Horny Mistress, Chasing the Sun, Brick Road, The Limelight, NYPD, and Uptown Girl) onto dental floss picks, and painted the lines one by one across the nails in a rainbow pattern.

After applying two stripes of each color, I placed a corresponding colored rhinestone onto each stripe in a diagonal pattern. I sealed the manicure with a generous coat of Seche Vite top coat.

30 Mani Marathon - Manicure 8: Metallic Nails

The 8th task in the 30 Mani Marathon is Metallic Nails.

To represent Metallic Nails, I began with one coat of Bondi Botanical Beauty. Over that, I used Kleancolor Metallic Purple, Metallic Jungle, and Mash stamping plate 38 to create the camouflage design. I chose to stamp the design in purple, then blue, then purple again to create the overlapping stripes. Lastly, I sealed the design with a coat of Diamond Dry top coat.

30 Mani Marathon - Manicure 7: Black & White

The 7th task in the 30 Mani Marathon is Black & White.

To represent Black & White, I began with two coats of Orly Au Champagne, and added stripes of Bondi City Slicker and Zoya Raven. To that, I added white hexagonal glitter pieces from China Glaze Whirled Away, and sealed the manicure with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

30 Mani Marathon - Manicure 3: Yellow Nails

The third task in the 30 Mani Marathon is Yellow Nails.

To represent Yellow Nails, I began with two coats of Bondi new York Brick Road, followed by one coat of Zoya Gilty (gold flake), and one coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Then, I used Konad black stamping polish and Bundle Monster stamping plate BM-313 to create what was supposed to be a yellow brick road design, but I think ended up looking more like honeycomb! I sealed the manicure with another layer of Seche Vite.

Rainbows n' Glitter

Today's manicure is an alternating rainbow gradient design using Bondi New York polishes. 

The colors used are Horny Mistress, Chasing the Sun, Brick Road, Teal Magnolia, NYPD, and Uptown Girl.

I began with a base coat, and one coat of Zoya Purity (white). After letting that dry completely, I put small amounts of red, orange, and yellow polish side by side on the back of a metal stamping plate. Then I dipped a small piece of cosmetic wedge sponge into all 3 colors at once, and carefully dabbed that over the white polish on my pinky, middle, and thumbnails. I repeated this step until I reached desired opacity and gradient effect, then I did the same with the teal, blue, and purple polishes on the remaining nails. 

After giving the gradient time to dry, I topped it with 1 or 2 coats of China Glaze Snow Globe glitter polish, and a coat of Zoya Armor top coat.

One coat Zoya Anchor Base Coat

The Limelight Can't Be Tamed

Today's manicure began with two coats of Bondi New York The Limelight. I then painted small amounts of Orly Can't Be Tamed onto a piece of cosmetic wedge sponge, and carefully dabbed that to the tips of my nails to create the glitter gradient. I added two coats of Gelous gel top coat to smooth out the glitter and let that dry overnight. The next day, I sealed the manicure with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Bondi Color Block Jigsaw

For this design, I began by painting a color block design on each nail in a rainbow pattern, using all Bondi new York polishes. Each nail has two colors, I painted each nail with the lighter of the two colors, and then used scotch tape to section off half of the nail to paint a coat of the darker color on half. Then I added a layer of top coat.

Then for fun, I used Konad black stamping polish and Bundle Monster stamping plate BM-319 to add a jigsaw puzzle stamp to the color blocks. I sealed the manicure with another layer of top coat.

Today's manicure began with base coat, two coats of Bondi New York Strawberry Fields, and a top coat.

Then I added strawberry stamps using Konad special white stamping polish, and Shany stamping plate SH19.

Next, I used a dotting tool to add Bondi New York Limelight to the tops of the berries, and Bondi New York Brick Road to the seeds in the middle.

When the green and yellow polish was dry, I added a top coat to seal and protect the manicure.
