31DC: Day 30 - Inspired by a tutorial (Explosion nail art by Nailside featuring Zoya)

Hi everyone!!
I'm excited about today's post. Inspired by a tutorial! I decided to go to Jane at Nailside. I've wanted to try her "expolsion" design since I first saw it. I found it way harder to get the perfect explosion shape than it seems!! So each of my nails looks a little different, but I also love it that way. This one is pic heavy because I just couldn't edit out any of these ;)

 Zoya Trixie, Raven, Daul
 I applied 2 coats of my favorite silver, Zoya Trixie and let dry. Then I used Jane's technique of cutting tape (I used blue painter's tape because I have trouble with regular tape sticking to the nail when I peel it off) and blocking in star shapes. This was way more difficult that I imagined it would be! I painted over it with Zoya Raven. When that was dry I repeated the process but let some of the black show. The last step was to apply Zoya Daul from the Fall 2012 Diva Collection. I LOVE this one over black and how it shows different colors at different angles. Super pretty addition to my collection. I have nothing else like it.




 Love the burst on my thumb and middle finger that looks like 2 halves of one burst!



OK!! That's it for today I'm off to work on tomorrow's FINAL post for this challenge :)

  6. I've been so uninspired by everything I've seen today that I was considering just clearing my Greader and starting from scratch. Then I saw this and I think I can keep ploughing through the meh! to see if there's one or two manis as fabulous.

    I've also been dying to try these explosions, but every time I decide to do it, something else comes up to my mind... lol
