Day 31: Recreate A Manicure You Love (with Link)

So last but certainly not least is Day 31: Recreate a manicure You Love.This is a mani that I have wanted to try ever since I started up my FB page a little over a year ago. Let Them have Polish's Day 13: Animal Print..this is a stunningly bright awesome mani and I was soooo excited to finally get it done! My only fear was doing it and not making it look good..I wanted to do it justice of course! I think it went well..

For my pointer and pinky fingers I used China Glaze Papaya Punch, OPI The "It" Color, OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lightning. For my middle finger I used China Glaze Grape Pop, CG Gothic Lolita and CG Aquadelic. For my ring finger I used CG Gaga For Green, CG Keep Calm, Paint On and Quo by Orly Little Miss Sunshine. I topped it all off with CG Fairy Dust and stamped with Konad M78 and Konad Black polish. On with the pics!



And this is the original one by Let Them Have Polish..lovely, yes?!
PhotoI'll add the link but for some reason that never turns out well!

Well..it's been a fun 31 day challenge! It made me try things I haven't tried yet..like water marbling and galaxy mani's..I was so scared to try them! lol Glad I did this. Hope you enjoyed following along as well and as always....have a fabulous day :)

Day 30: Inspired By A Tutorial

Now I have Day 30: Inspired by a Tutorial..and I was looking forward to this one! I had wanted to use one I had seen on Soguesswhat11's channel but couldn't find it! So as I was scrolling through her wonderful tutorials I came across this awesome Camo mani tutorial and fell in love!! What is there to love about it you ask? Well..first of all it's looks awesome! And then it's SUPER easy as well! Throw in extremely versatile and you've go yourself a great tutorial :) I can't wait to try this with other colors!

Day 28 & 29: Inspired By A Flag & The Supernatural

I have a two in one post now..Days 28 and 29: Inspired by a Flag and Inspired by the Supernatural. Not gonna lie...at this point in the challenge I had gotten lazy and a little tired! This is a really long challenge..31 days back to back..crazy! I for sure skipped a couple here and there but it was still intense..even for someone that like's to change up their mani every 2-3 days. So for Day 28 I was looking for the easy way out..lol..and I picked Poland. Base is Orly Au Champagne and I taped over half and applied OPI Big Apple Red..which is a FABULOUS red!


For Day 29: Inspired by the Supernatural...I love witches and all that lore! I used Essie Lapis of Luxury as my base. Then I sponged on NOPI Back to Reality..TV and China Glaze Recycle. I used BM plates 04, 13, 213 & 224.

Well I hope you like..as I said, these aren't the most creative..lol. Have a fabulous day :)

Day 27: Inspired By Art

And now I have for you Day 27: Inspired By Art...I did not want to do the same thing everyone else seems to do for this day of the challenge...Picasso I think? Anyway...my inspiration pic will be shown at the end of this post. Pointer finger's base is NOPI Ladies in The Limelight/kiss is OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips. Middle finger's base is Zoya Bevin/kiss is Zoya Malia. Ring finger's base is OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips/kiss is NOPI Ladies in the Limelight. This didn't show up as good as i'd hoped it would. Pinky finger's base is China Glaze Kinetic Candy/kiss is China Glaze Sun-Kissed. On with the pics!


 Gotta be honest...no idea who the artist is for this image but I thought it was cool.

Hope you like! Have a fabulous day :)

Day 26: Inspired By A Pattern

So I have for you Day 26: Inspired by a Pattern....Argyle!! I LOVE argyle..especially on men's sweaters! For this mani I used Quo by Orly Beyond the Sea as my base..I reviewed this polish in a previous post..it's stunning!! Then I stamped with NOPI My Lifesaver..an awesome turquoise and DRK-C XL Plate. Which most of you know by now is a series of XL plates that I LOVE! I have heard they're coming out with a D...so excting! On with the pics!

 The next two pics are after I added some China Glaze Fairy Dust...everything's better with glitter...right? ;)


Hope you like...have a fabulous day :)

Day 25: Inspired By Fashion

So this is Day 25: Inspired By Fashion and since I don't have the most fashionable clothes...i'm a jeans kinda girl...I just searched Google and found some cool threads :) I love me some Houndstooth! For this mani I used the lovely OPI DS Sensation, Orly Au Champagne, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Co-Bolt Blue and BM322.
On with the pics!

 I used tape and Orly Au Champagne for the stripe.
 This is 3 coats of OPI DS Sensation..and it's sensational! Great formula..I think it might be an old formula DS? It smelled like it and it's a pretty old bottle..gorgeous though :)
And here's my inspiration...I LOVE Houndstooth!! 

Hope you like...have a fabulous day :)

Day 24: Inspired By A Book

So...after being MIA for quite some time I thought i'd better finish off my 31 Day Nail Art Challenge..it's been over for some time now but I just didn't upload the pictures on here..sorry :( I'm just always on my Facebook page and Instagram..I suppose this blog isn't exactly where I thought it might be..although I very much appreciate my 14 followers :)
This is Day 24: Inspired By A Book and I had a really hard time feeling creative about this one! Finally I decided to go with Game of Thrones so I could use my cool new Messy Mansion Dragon Plate ;)
I used 2 coats of OPI Black Onyx as my base and stamped with China Glaze Passion. The wonderful stamp is MM05.


If you haven't already...check out this series of books...they're amazing! The show on HBO is also fantastic!!
Have a wonderful day :)
