Warm Pottery: Chalkboard Nails Contest Entry
I’ve been under the weather, so I’m glad I didn’t commit to doing the 31 Day Nail Challenge this year…everyone has been so busy! I look forward to stalking the blogs each day and seeing what everyone has come up with.
I’m entering a contest at Chalkboard Nails called “Cool Colors or Warm Colors“. You pick a cool or warm color palatte and create a mani (on yourself) using only those colors. No decals, stamping or acrylic paint allowed. Pretty simple….something I can actually handle! I chose warm colors. Here’s my entry.
This mani was inspired by a Pottery Barn duvet cover. I started with a base of China Glaze Kalahari Kiss and taped off the first round of stripes, trying to make each nail different and interesting. All of the stripes are Zoya polishes: Cola (brown), Kristi (red), Goldie (gold) and Shawn (green). After the first round of stripes dried, I taped off a second round. I finished with two coats of Seche Vite.
I really like how this turned out. The winner of the contest, as decided by a panel, will get to pick three of The New Black Ombre polish sets.
Disclosure: At this time, I have no material connection to the brands or products used in this post.

This looks great!! I love the different widths of the different colors.

Love the colours combi..cheers!
This is gorgeous! I love your color selection and placement. It looks random but yet still very together! Good luck with the competition too!!
This was amazing. I wish I could do something like that. but I don’t think I have the colors for it. But it must have taken forever to do this manicure?

This is awesome! I love the colors and the diff sizes of stripes.
really pretty! I like that you varied the stripe widths. It reminds me of a resister code in electrical circuits for some reason
Beautiful color combination and great work on the striping. I’m not sure if I’d have the patience to complete such an intricate pattern. Good luck in the contest! :)
These aren’t “my” colours, but I love the mani so, so much!
