Nail art April challenge

Hi everyone! I have debated doing this for a while but I think I finally convinced myself to just do it. Every month on Instagram there are a bunch of nail art challenges. I participated in my first challenge in March. I didn't think to blog about it so I didn't save any of those pictures. I did do April and that's what I will show you here. I am doing 2 challenges for May which I will also be sharing with you. Hopefully I can stick with it and keep posting my pictures because I really do want to work on my art! Is this something you do on Instagram? I would love to know who else does these monthly art challenges!! Let me know in the comments and enjoy my attempts at art!! They are in order as the picture lists!!

Nicole by OPI ~ Challenge Red-y

Hey!!! Its been a while since i posted. I just moved and its taken a while to get settled. But i am back and have a gorgeous polish to show uou. This is challenge red-y from Nicole by OPI. In the store one day i saw a special k bars box that said collect codes for free polish. Naturally i grabbed 5 boxes. When i got home i checked the fine print and all i had to do was enter 8 codes online. Those 8 codes got me a three piece collection. A pink a blue and this red. (I will show u the pink and blue in the next few posts :)) you can get just one bottle. That will take 3 codes. Not sure if you chose the color though. Anyways, this is such a pretty red. It looked so blah and basic in the bottle but as i put the coats on it seemed to get deeper in color. The formula was nice. Did have a few bald spots after 3 coats but the forth coat fixed that right up. Although using four coats is a bit excessive. I believe this is supposed to be a creme polish but it seemed more like a crelly to me! I decided to add a glitter gradient to it with this awesome gold holo glitter topcoat from nina ultra pro. The name is just holographic topcoat lol. Hope hou all enjoy the pics :)
