Day Twenty-Six & Twenty-Seven *Inspired by a Pattern & Inspired by Artwork*

Day 26- I hadn't planned on doing this pattern for today's mani but I was browsing some art deco pictures online when I found this picture of Halsbury Chamblers in Napier (my hometown). As soon as a saw this picture I knew I wanted to use it for my nails, I love the colours and the depth of the pattern. I painted my nails white (Sally Hansen- Xtreme wear in White on) and used an old eyeliner brush to paint on the patten in BYS- Peach. The mani didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but it's still pretty.

Day 27- There were so many pictures I was inspired by for today, but I finally settled on Jackson Pollock's Lavender Mist. I didn't completely copy the style but as it says, its an inspiration. I painted all my nails white and then thinned down some black (Leiyu Turbo Colour in Black), taupe (OPI's You Don't Know Jacques) and gold (Sally Hansen-Crackle overcoat in Antique Gold) with a small amount of nail polish remover and then randomly dripped each colour over each nail, it's not too splattered like Lavender Mist but I still love it!

Days Eleven & Twelve *Polka Dots & Stripes*

 Day 11- I really wanted to use OPI- Russian Navy- Matte in one of these posts so I decided today would be a perfect day to use it, I painted 2 coats of Russian Navy and then painted the little dots with nail art polishes (the ones with the needle point tip), I used Claire's Cosmetics in Neon Pink and Nail Star in White. I think the effect was really pretty and I finished the manicure off with Sally Hansens Mega Shine (as per usual). I think this could be my favourite and it was really easy to do.

Day 12- I know I said in my Green day that I don't like green nail polish but I think this one is different, it is so bright and happy and I had completely forgotten about until I found it at the back of one of nail polish drawers, the colours I used are all by BYS, Matte Green and Black and White nail art polishes! I think these nails are really cute and I got lots of comments on these at work. I was going to paint them with a matte top coat but I am glad I didn't, I think the Mega Shine makes them pop.

Days Six & Seven *Violet & Black and White*

Day 6- I had so many purple nail polishes to choose from, so I chose to use OPI- Purple with a Purpose all over with little stars in BYS- Purple (nail art). Unfortunately I didn't get a good picture of them as I was driving to see my parents and forgot to take a proper photo before I took it off.

Day 7- I had so many ideas rushing through my head for black and white that I decided to do a bit of everything on them. I used Sally Hansen- White Out all over and the details were done with BYS- Black (nail art). I liked these nails but as you will notice I have not shown the middle finger on my right hand as it smudged and looked a mess!!!
