After today there is only one more week left of this challenge. One week!! This was my first challenge and I am quite proud of doing it. I initially really wanted to do the 31 day challenge but I am glad I started off with this one instead, A warning in advance though, the last two topics are my most dreaded so don’t expect much 😛
Anyway, onto todays topic. Metallic and Half moons. I have never done half moons before. Here is what I came up with.
I started off with two coats of Sinful Colors – Black on Black on all my fingers except my ring finger. Here I started with two coats of China Glaze – Admire. Once that was dry I taped off my half moons and then added one coat of the alternating colour. Admire is a pinkish metallic that is actually very pretty. I love that it isn’t as brush strokey as others I have used. It also stamps really well. I then also used an Essence stamping plate and added the slanted design to my tips.
What do you think of my interpretation? In hindsight, I probably should’ve left off the stamping. I am not sure if it works or not.
The colours used:
China Glaze – Admire
Sinful Colors – Black is Back
Pop on over to see what the other ladies came up with today:
What do you think of my nails today? How would you have interpreted todays topic? Do you like metallic polishes? I would love to hear from you.
Thanks for reading!
China Glaze Admire is one of my favourites too. It looks amazing on you. I like the mani, so pretty! The black and pink looks amazing together.

Thanks so much Lyn! I love Admire too, more than I thought I would actually.
Admire looks gorgeous. And I definitely think the stamping works, it made it more unique than just a normal halfmoon 🙂
