AVON Coral Reef | Craftynail

It’s the last week of our April NAIL Linkup and the theme is DOTTICURE. Yes, it is officially May now… but I’m not too late! This week’s theme goes til May 4th so you have some time to sneak in a dotticure too.

For this nail art I wanted to go bold and bright and mix together some weird colors. Here’s what I used-

♥ Zoya Dove as my grey base color

♥ OPI I Just Can’t Cope-Acabana sponged onto my tips for a gradient

♥ AVON Coral Reef that I dotted on with a dotting tool

It’s an unexpected color combination but I like it. It feels summery and reminds me of beaches and Ron Jon surf gear. I have no idea why, I dont even know what Ron Jon is really, but it popped in my head!

This weekend we’ll reveal our May N.A.I.L. themes so keep your eyes peeled for that. See ya!

28th April – 4th May : Dotticure

I didn’t know what to call these nails. It’s kinda hard to summize them in a couple words! So my title kinda rhymes with something. I like to keep my blog G-rated, ya know? 😉

This is one of those manis that had no plan. I just went for it. I started with a basecoat and two coats of AVON Coral Reef. Coral Reef is one of those coral shades that has a lot of pink in it. It’s too pink for my mom so she gave it to me! Shweeeeeet. Then I stamped a Bundle Monster (BM-403) geometric shape with a silvery AVON shade called Platinum… but it didn’t show up too well. So I did another stamp from that same plate using black nail polish. That second stamp kinda looks like cogs inside a machine. I like it. I like it a lot. (imagine Jim Carrey’s voice to get the full effect.) Then I did a border around each nail in different colors.

Is it me, or does this nail art kinda look Indian somehow?

Also, I just finished my nails for the BIRDS theme of our Nail Art Ideas Linkup. They came out wicked. I wanted to post them tonite but I don’t have the energy to make that happen… so you’ll see them this weekend. In the meantime, here’s some of the other nailarts from this month’s linkup.
