Hit The Bottle Nail Art Challenge - Monochrome

 

I think it is safe to say that I have failed this Hit The Bottle Nail Art Challenge after three weeks?  I had a pretty terrible mani a couple of weeks ago and then completely skipped last week's travel prompt...I wasn't really feeling the prompt plus I was busy swatching a bunch of things.  But I am back for the monochrome prompt.  I absolutely love black and white nails so there was zero chance of missing today.

    

For this mani I used Hit The Bottle Snowed In for my base and stamped using As Black As Night.  Image is from Uberchic Beauty Business Chic 01.

    

    

I quite like this mani but it's not a favourite of mine.  Speaking of favourites I will be back tomorrow with my monthly favourites post.  

Hit The Bottle Nail Art Challenge - Negative Space

 

Today I have another Hit The Bottle Nail Art Challenge mani to share with you.  I wish I loved this mani but honestly I don't like it at all.  It's not at all what I thought it would be and I really wished that I had used a negative space stamping image instead.  Maybe I will re do this prompt at a future date.  With all that said I am going to keep today's post nice and short - simple because I don't really have much to say.  

For this mani I used Hit The Bottle Snowed In, Looking For Mr Grey, A Flock Of Seagulls and As Black As Night.

Let's just pretend that today's mani didn't happen and hope that the next mani for this challenge is better than this...

Hit The Bottle Nail Art Challenge - Geometric

 

I'm going strong with the Hit The Bottle Nail Art challenge.  I'm already on the second prompt.  It really seems kinda odd to me to be back doing a nail art challenge but soooo familiar at the same time.  Despite only having to do one prompt a week.  I'm not sure I have ever done that before.  Anyway, today's prompt is geometric. 

 

This mani I probably could have used for last week's neon prompt but what can I say?  I love neon polishes and Michelle has some awesome ones. For my gradient I used Hit The Bottle Shazam Yellow, Orange You Excited and I Pink Therefore I Am, and stamped using As Black As Night.  Image is from What's Up Nails Geo-Radical.

 

 

It's kinda funny looking at the pictures for this mani because in person I couldn't see any white bits coming through but they are clear as day in these pics.  This mani is also much brighter in person.  I absolutely loved wearing it!  Now to start getting some ideas for next week's prompt - negative space.

Hit The Bottle Nail Art Challenge - Neon

 

Look at me posting again!  That's seven posts in a row!  I'm definitely not going to be daily blogging but it's great getting back into it.  One of my goals (aside from doing more blog posts this year) is to do more nail art.  I have said that a few times over the years and I get a little lazy, I don't have any ideas of what to do or I don't have time.  I can't help the lack of time but the one thing that will help me when I have no ideas is nail art challenges.  Back in the very early days of Instagram (and when I was doing a LOT of nail art) I was doing at least one nail art challenge - but usually it is three to four challenges.  It was a crazy time but I really enjoyed it.  So I am back doing another nail art challenge!  I am late to the Hit The Bottle Challenge but it's better late than never.  For those that don't know Hit The Bottle have created a weekly challenge where the only rule is is that you need to use at least one of their polishes.  Let's get started with my first prompt - neon!

 

This was a bit of an easy prompt because I have a lot of neon polishes from Hit The Bottle.  I was tempted to go a little crazy and use all the colours but then I decided to go a little more simple.  Something different to what I think most people will do.  I am so glad that I did because I absolutely love this mani!  For my gradient I used Hit The Bottle Whiskey Latte and I Pink, Therefore I Am and stamped using As Black As Night.  Image is from Uberchic Beauty Got Chevron 02.

 

It feels good to be back with some nail art.  Let's hope I can keep it up!
