31DC2013: Days 8 & 9

Since I'm playing catch up (on blog posts, not on the challenge!) I'm going to combine a few days in the next couple of posts. In reality, I'm on day 16. Sigh. Oh well, here we go! Day 8! Metallic.

The colors used were Sally Hansen Golden -I and Sinful Colors Heavy Metal.
I was pretty uninspired again today. I saw so many wonderful Metallic creations on Instagram, but couldn't come up with my own! I was happy to be able to use some of my new star shaped studs!

Day 9: Rainbow! This has to have been one of my favorite days so far! It was a bit of a challenge, but fun at the same time! I used my Sinful Colors Sugar Rush collection for this mani. I started out with a base of Sugar Rush, like this:
The clouds on the pinkie and the thumb were so simple, I used a dotting tool! Starting with some very large dots, I added a series of small dots around each one, to create the cloud shape.
Next, I added the stripes of each color with a thin nail art brush. Once I added top coat, the colors seemed to blend together quite nicely! 
 I was pretty happy with this one! What do you think? Thanks for reading!
