26 Great Nail Art Ideas: Insects and/or Bugs

For this week, the challenge theme is insects. I don't like most insects, they just have too many legs for my liking. But I really like butterflies, they're just beautiful! So butterfly it is for this challenge.





As base color I used three coats of a multichrome Enchanted Polish. I can't tell you which one it is, it came without a name tag, and I bought it so long ago, I just can't remember the polishes I ordered back then. But it shifts from magenta over copper to gold and contains holo glitters, so it might be I Am The Walrus.





For the stamping I used MoYou London Black Night and Pro Collection plate 05. As usual, I added one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas: Reciprocal Gradient

This week's challenge theme is reciprocal gradient.





I decided to stay very simple with this one. Just two polishes (MoYou London Winter Green and Born Pretty Store stamping polish No. 343) plus some chevron nail vinyls (and my beloved KBShimmer Clearly On Top topcoat, of course).
