Day 16 of the Nail Challenge is Tribal nails. I have never tried tribal before- so please don’t judge lol. I used a dotting tool, a skinny striper brush and these polishes:

Sally Hansen ♥ Commander in Chic

AVON ♥ Inspire

wet n wild ♥ I Need a Refresh-Mint

OPI ♥ Grand Canyon Sunset

wet n wild ♥ Ebony Hates Chris

I didn’t have a plan when I started working on this design…. I just sort of started with one color and made a bunch of shapes. I cleaned my brush, and then moved onto the next color until I ran through all 5 polishes and my nails were covered with a wacky design. Next time I would like to plan it out more and maybe I’ll get better results!

Can’t wait to see what the other girls came up with because this was an interesting theme with a lot of room for interpretation!

I’m excited that today is day 1 of April Nail Art Challenge!

Julie from Short And Sweet In Texas organized this month-long nail painting extravaganza!

The theme of Day 1 is RED. So here’s my red manicure:

I used four different red polishes and a dotting tool to make the native american pattern. To avoid having the glossiness distract from the design I then topped it off with one coat of my MASH matte top coat. This was pretty easy to do… but because of lighting I couldn’t get a good pic! It’s one of those manis that looks better in real life … we’ve all had them before! lol Here’s the red polishes I used-

OPI ♥ Grand Canyon Sunset

Zoya ♥ Carmen

Orly ♥ Naughty

AVON ♥ Ruby Slipper
