31 Day Challenge - Day 7 - Black & White

Hi guys!

Prompt number seven of the 31 Day Challenge on Instagram is black and white. I used to believe that monochrome was a bit dull (what was I thinking?!), and always wanted a splash of colour in my manicures. However, I have grown to love the simple elegance of a monochrome mani, as it always looks so chic and striking. So without further ado, here are my black and white nails:

I searched Pinterest for inspiration for this prompt, and came across this manicure by Cubbiful from back in 2013. I loved it so much I instantly recreated it :D 

I used my favourite one-coat white - Essence 'Wild White Ways' - for the base on all nails. I then dotted my thumb, index and pinkie using WAH London '01 Black' nail art pen. Finally I created the geometric pattern with striping tape and Rimmel 'Black Out'. I really, really love this look, and it was so straightforward to achieve. Definitely a winner!

Classic Monochrome Nails

Hi!

Every now and then I get a hankering for a classic monochrome mani, so that is what I'm wearing on my nails today!

For this design I used Rimmel 'White Hot Love', Rimmel 'Black Out' and Binky London 'Gold Rush'. I stamped my design using my brand new super duper Fab UR Nails Fun17 plate, which I am in LOVE with! This design is so pretty and I just love that plate in general! <3

Hope you like it :)
