Monochrome Contest Winners!

And the winners are...... 

The $25 Born Pretty Gift Card goes to:

Katy!

I love her circuitboard nails. The color combination, execution, and overall appeal. Really well done!

The 15 piece pink nail art brush set goes to:

Ria!

For a simple greyscale design it's really intricate! The middle and ring nails are just incredible.

Just a few more shout outs for some that I also liked for different reasons:

Christina Alexia's design was simple, but very eye catching. I liked the soft color blend.

Suzzie's detail on her middle nail was pink panther, and it turned out really well! I <3 cartoons!

Casey's idea was really clever! To use optical illusions was brilliant!

nailXchange had really great photos of her nails so you could see everything perfectly. Such a pretty polish too.

Thank you to everyone that entered, I wish I could make you all winners! Katy and Ria, I will be emailing you shortly about your prizes.

Monochrome Nail Art Contest

I'm bringing another nail art contest your way and I hope all of you take the time to enter. I'm excited to see what you come up with! So what's the theme?

Monochrome Nail Art!

The technique of using different shades of a single color.

So it doesn't have to be black and white. (Although it could be!) It can be navy blue and periwinkle... emerald green and jade..... hot pink and pastel pink.... hopefully you get the drift. Just make sure that you stick to one color family, 2 shades or 50 shades lol, but as long as all of the polishes you use are in the same color family- you qualify!

Want an example?
Here I used a combination of different teals. Essie School of Hard Rocks, China Glaze Adore, LA Girl Glitter Addict Nostalgic. Also 3 image plates from the new Bundle Monster set 319, 322, 305. Here I just did a skittle look, but do any kind of nail art that you like.

 

Rules:

• One entry per person
• Use a monochrome color scheme (you may use nail polish and/or acrylic paints)
• Nail art can be freehand, stamping, glitter, rhinestones, (ask if you're unsure)
• NO stickers or decals
• The design must be done on your own nails
• Yes! This contest IS open internationally
• Take pics of your nails, then post them on your blog or a free online photo site like Picasa, Photobucket, or Flickr.
• Submit your entry using the Inlinkz below, providing the exact URL where your picture can be found.
• Contest closed - August 6, 2012 at 23:59. Winners will be announced later that week.

Grand Prize:

One grand prize winner will be selected by the judging panel (myself and my family & friends). Judgement will be based on originality, creativity, and execution. They will win a $25 gift card to Born Pretty!

Runner Up:

One runner up will be selected by the judging panel to win a 15 piece pink nail art brush set similar to this one.
