The Alphabet Nail Art Challenge: Letter Z - the end of the challenge

Hello!
It`s time for another manicure, the letter Z inspired one...and it`s time for the challenge to end...but every end means that a new start is about to be announced. :)
So stay tuned!
For today I chose a mix of two letter Z words: zipper and zebra and made some sort of mix and match.

To be honest, I did everything like a decal. I painted the design on a piece of plastic bag, let it dry and applied them on the damp nail polish. The only thing I don`t like at the manicure but I couldn`t do anything about it, is that I have no details on the key of the zipper. :( Not to be worried, I will try to be better at details....sometimes in the future.

But let me give you some more letter z inspired manicureby click-ing on the links below:

Alphabet nail art challege - Letter X

Well, I'm almost 3 days late, but I'm kinda proud of what it came out. :)
All I could think of when I saw that we are at letter X was "X marks the spot" and because I imagined a pirate map...I draw a pirate map on my nails.
I used base coat, a nude/beige polish for the base color, brown acrylic paint for the shadows, black paint for the drawings and a pretty top coat.

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter W

Hello!
This is one of the last manicures for this collaboration with the girls, so I decided to get back in bussines.
I chose 2 creamy nail polishes (Golden Rose Paris 202 - the purple and 204 - the blue) and made....WATERMARBLE!
Yeah, pretty obvious, since this week's leter is W, right? :)
Well, you all (or almost all of you) know how a watermarble manicure is done,no step-by-step tutorial here.
Just my W manicure. A purple and blue W manicure.

But I bet the girls have different takes on the letter. So make sure you check them out for inspiration for your manicures.
Kisses!

Alphabet nail art challenge - letter F

Ok, another week, another letter.
But for today I have two manicures. One is a simple french manicure using colorful nail polishes and the second one is a french manicure inspired ... manicure, I guess.

As you can see, I tried to add some yellow dots with the yellow nail polish, but it was too sheer, the yellow line it's acrylic paint. I don't really know why I didn't use it for the dots too, but, well....

This second mani I like more :) I just like how the ombrè effect looks like and the stamped flower.

The Alphabet Nail Art Challenge - Letter E

Ooops! Apparently I'm starting to move my appearance day for the manicures on Mondays :) sorry, really sorry! This weekend I slept all day long! I was physically exhausted after a hard week at work! My sleeping schedule started from Friday around 8 pm 'til Saturday at 9 am and at noon on Saturday, and then again from Saturday around 10 pm 'til Sunday at 9 am...and ended with...from 9 pm to 6 am on Monday...'cause we have to go to work again, right? :)

I didn't even get to say Happy Children's Day for every child out there! I hope you all had an amazing day and had a smile on your face remembering how being a small kid was! :)

But let's get to the mani! I had a very hard time deciding on what to do, and eventually my mom gave me the winning idea: ECLIPSE!

So I started with base coat, then on my middle finger I applied a coat of white nail polish. Then I made a gradient use the sponge technique with yellow, orange and black. After it dried a little bit, I drew a dark moon/sun with black. On the rest of the fingers I painted two coats of black and on top I added gold sparkling nail polish and some hexagon gold glitters.

And the result is as follows:

The alphabet nail art challenge - Letter D inspired manicure

Well...I'm glad that we have decided that we can post whenever we can from Saturday to Friday on the week of the letter. So, I'm not the first, and hopefully, not the last letter D inspired manicure :)

And because my mood was down....I went for somenthing so simple, I'm ashamed. :(
I did DOMINOES! So original! :)))

I think that the problem was that on Friday I broke 2 of my nails so I had to shorthen them. 

Well, I can tell you one thing: the girls from the list underneath have better designs! Go check them out.

Alphabet nail art challenge - letter B

Watch out! I have bugs! Just kidding! Hi!

Have you missed me? I sure did miss you. And I'm here with a new letter ergo a new nail design! I could't miss the opportunity to show you a manicure inspired by PiggieLuv and posted on Facebook here. I just loved it and recreated it. I loved it! I wore the manicure for a whole week.

But because I couldn't show you only a recreation of a manicure, I made some cute bugs, on a walk to remember. :) Funny, right? So the name Bugs fits just right.

I hope you like my manicure and make sure you check the other "B" inspired manicures:

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter A

And my A today comes from ..... (drum roll) ..... Aliens! :)
Yep, those supposedly green, yacky and strange looking creatures from outer space...maybe outer galaxy... who knows? I never got the chance to meet and talk to one of them, at least :(
So, this challenge is the new challenge in our FB group and we have to thank Madalina a.k.a. Miss HAppy and Her Nails (she's the first one on this list - because she was eager to start) for the inspiration...she wanted an alphabet nail art challenge and we all decided to make a manicure whose name starts with each letter of the alphabet. This week, we have A.

I took a peek on the nails some of the girls did, and we have different designs. This is the coolest part! Maybe only a few of us will have aliens, maybe it's just me and my s(t)ick(y) mind :)

For the design I used AVON's Sunshine as a base and on top Gabrini Diamond D57 (a shimmery yellow), over which I drew the aliens with acrylic paint; added top coat (Gabrini 300) and started taking pictures.
