I am back at it today with some more nail art for the #31DC2014 challenge! I had to have self imposed "work appropriate" nails today, so I started off the day with a base of China Glaze Foie Gras from the Hunger Games Collection. That has to be one of my favorite collections of all time. No joke, go check it out. Foie Gras is a really nice brown/taupe creme. In some lights it is completely brown, in others it looks grey or taupe. I love colors that change like that. The challenge prompt for today is fashion inspired, and I could totally do some beautiful crazy things for that, but I am feeling the simple plaid today. It may be because it is officially fall or because it is raining here, but I love a good plaid.
I used a simple black and white striper to paint the lines and little slash lines as well. I always see those hash lines on plaid, but never on plaid nails. This design was screaming for a matte top coat, so I finished it off with my Wet n Wild matte, which I love. I find it works the best for an inexpensive brand and dries quickly. This design is simple, but I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by!
Love that plaid design! :) Perfect!
ReplyDeleteFoie Gras has been sitting in my helmer without being worn for too long, I think I need to pull it back out after seeing this, too cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I always forget about it too, but I wanted to make sure to use it when fall came around :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI love how this turned out!
ReplyDeletethis looks great! I love that you matted it, too.
ReplyDeleteYay! Matte all the things! Well, maybe only some of the things, but certainly this!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job! Matting it really adds something to it, I think!
ReplyDeleteI really like when a polish changes colour depending on lighting! And your plaid mani is sooo warm, I'd definitely borrow it right now!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!! I've never tried plaid nail art before but I think you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteAwesome detailing!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, matteing a brown is groundbreaking!! Why have I never matted a brown? It's glorious!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I absolutely adore the print you did!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The plaid detail is so neat!
ReplyDeleteI love matte lately! Can't get enough of it.
ReplyDeleteI love Foie Gras, I need to use it more. It is really nice for fall.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you Monica!
ReplyDeleteI just want to matte everything lately. Maybe it is a fall thing? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just made it up as I went. I was going to go find inspiration, but I got lazy. So, good things come from laziness sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lothwen!
