Hey hi hello,
It is pouring with rain this morning and we have a huge storm. It’s glorious although I must be honest I could do without the lightning. It’s great to be cool again because I am NOT ready for the summer heat. How is your weekend going?
The 31 Day Challenge is usually done in September although you can do it any time of the year. If you want to find out more information you can find everything you need to know as well as the Inlinkz for the prompts here thanks to Cathy from More Nail Polish. Here are the prompts you can look forward to
Metallic is a broad spectrum of options but one thing I did know was that I am really loving the matte metallic look. So that I wanted to go simple and matte. Let me show you what I did,
I started with 2 coats of Nubar – Noir on all my nails and let that dry completely. I then stamped using Lina – Feeling Shapely 05 and China Glaze – Harmony. I topcoated and once it was dry I used a matte topcoat. That’s it!
I really like the look even though I feel this was a little too easy. I love the purple metallic over the black base. What do you think? Does it work for this prompt?
Don’t forget to follow the #31DC2018 on social media if you want to follow along with the daily prompts OR take a peep at the InLinkz below.
Thanks for reading,

LOVE these! I don’t think I have ever done a matte metallic mani. I NEED too! These are amazing!

Thank you so much Tracy. I really like the look of the matte metallic so I was excited to try it myself.

This is beautiful. I love the color combo or purple and black. That is a fun pattern.
Michelle Roberts
Thank you so much Cindi! x

I love them matte and they look great! Really stands out against the black.
Simple patterns are sometimes the coolest looking, easy or not.
Michelle Roberts
I have to agree with you. Sometimes all you need is a simple pattern with good colours. Thank you so much! x

Hahahahaha you’re too kind. In this case I just took the stamper and gooi’d the stamp. 😉

I can’t believe how well Harmony stamps!! And it looks stunning, even if it was easy.
Michelle Roberts
That whole collection is a stamping dream! I wonder if it is still available anywhere. Thank you so much.

You have to love that China Glaze Romantique-collection, right? I think it’s the only full CC collection I’ve ever purchased (read: talked hubby into buying for me).
Combined with always great black and matte… gorgeous manicure!
Michelle Roberts
You are very lucky! I am dying to get the rest of the collection because these are just amazing! I think the few I have were some of the first ones I got! I love them. Thank you so much!
