It’s Mani Monday again! We skipped last week’s Mani Monday but no one seemed too bent out of shape about it. However I wasn't going to press my luck and skip it again this week!
*****
Sheer looks are just that- sheer polish with intentionally visible nail line.

I know this is a glitter polish, but its sheer enough that I decided to include it in my Sheer category this week.
2 coats OPI - Which is Witch?
1 coat China Glaze - Fairy Dust
1 coat INM Out The Door Top Coat
*****
Color-Block mani could be simply one color on all 10 digits, one color on 8 digits with a different color on 2 accent nails, or it could be Skittles nails where each nail is a different color. The only rule for this category is a limit of one color per nail.

Sally Hansen had a competition going on this summer with nail art (I never entered, just watched for inspiration). One of their categories was Street or City or something like that. I got to thinking about textures and came up with this colorblock. I never went further with putting graffiti or art or anything on it because I liked its simplicity.
Zoya - London on pinkie, middle, and index fingers
Zoya - Harley on ring finger & thumb with INM Out The Door top coat
I reversed these on the other hand.
*****
Glitter manis are either glitter by itself or layered with another color.

| Its a Party! |
This one looked like a baby shower on the nails, very Spring.
2 coats Zoya - Erika
1 coat OPI - Lights of Emerald City
1 coat INM Out The Door Top Coat
*****
Stamp Art is nail art done with the help of a stamping kit like
Salon Express or Konad.

I wanted to make a 'scene' on a finger with this so I played with layering and depth.
2 coats Zoya - Belle
Stamped the flower with Konad White and Salon Express stamping kit
2 more coats Zoya - Belle
Stamped the butterfly with Konad White and Salon Express stamping kit
added dots for the 'flight pattern' with Migi Nail Art Pen - White
The rest of the nails have 4 coats of Zoya - Belle.
*****
Freehand Art is done without stamping, but can still use tools like tape, fine brushes, or dotters to achieve the look.
This was my first-ever leopard print and I can't believe I had never done it before- its so easy and looks great! I played with patterns a bit, doing just 1/2 the nail, the whole nail, a french tip, and a diagonal on the thumb.
3 coats Zoya - Felicity
Its So Easy Stripe Rite - Black
Migi Nail Art Pen - Gold Glitter
1 coat INM Out The Door Top Coat
