Last weeks nail mani challenge by PHD, was Bling! We had to use Gold or Silver and rhinestones.
We had to make our nails super blingy, a look that can be quite OTT, but I had a go, knowing I would not like it, as I am not keen using golds on me, yuck. (other than for stamping)
I started by painting my nails in Misa I Will Survive, a black creme polish, then painted my ring finger in ChG 2030, so at least one nail was gold. I then stamped the splash design from plate M21 using ChG 2030, and applied it to all the black nails. It still actually looked kind of classy so I decided I had to make it look more bling stamped the crown from M40 in black on the gold nail. I then added rhinestones to the points of the crown, truly making it look tacky.....
I loved it till I put the crown and rhinestones on, but I had to follow the rules of the challenge somehow. Still it was something different for me and that is the reason I do the PHD challenges, it makes me move outside my comfort zone.
It's not my best work, or even my taste, but hey, I did the challenge LOL

It completely satisfied the brief though.
You wouldn't wear this for work or possibly for any other occasion and that was one of the stipulations. My effort was timid. Yours is fierce.
Very cool looking. I'd say unique for sure.
Love the color combos.
