31DC2014 Day 31 - Honor Nails You Love

THE LAST DAY AF THE CHALLENGE!!!
Thought this sentence deserved cap locks.
It's been a fun but difficult month filled with empty bottles of polish remover, dirty paintbrushes, lots of scotch tape and headaches over nail polish fumes, but it's over and at the same time I'm so glad it's over I'm also sad because I had so much fun and now I have to go find my own prompts, lol.
I'm giving myself a promise that I'll keep a better schedule (blog vise) now than before the challenge, I just have to stop procrastinating so much and just do things.

For this last one I decided to recreate Glitter Fingersss's Half Moons. I only recently started following her blog but every nail design she does blows me away.


Polishes used:
Cult Nails - Thrive
Kleancolor Nail to Toe striper - Beaming Pink

31DC2014 Day 30 - Inspired By A Tutorial

Keeping with the same theme as yesterday I followed this tutorial Here.
Again The Silence in a suit from Doctor Who ;)

When I took these photos I thought that it would be okay to just keep my regular hand pose with the thumb at the bottom and then just flip them on Picasa,
 little did I know they would turn out so awkward after I rotated them so there are not that many pics.


Polishes used:
Alessandro - Midnight Black
OPI - Alpine Snow
OPI - Taupe-less Beach
The New Black - unnamed nude

31DC2014 Day 28 - Inspired By A Flag

I wasn't that inspired doing these, I'm sick and just not in a good mood so this is not my best work, a little sloppy and all over the place.
I didn't choose one specific flag, I made this thinking of fall so I went with a fall-y palette.

Essie - In Stitches
American Apparel - Crescent Heights
E.L.F. - Mod Mauve

31DC2014 Day 27 - Inspired By Artwork

Dots are my favorite kind of nail art, it's easy to do, doesn't take a lot of time and it always comes out looking good.

Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese pop artist who is most famous for her obsession with dots, coincidentally she is one of my favorite artist. Some say her art is shallow and repetitive but I disagree, I think she is showing us her soul, showing the world her twisted imagination, how hard it must be to have spots on your mind all the time. I think she is in an institution for people with mental illness now because she would work on her art until she collapsed - that's a strong obsession.


Here's my inspiration, she calls this pumpkin her alter-ego.

Polishes used:
OPI - Need Sunglasses?
Alessandro - Midnight Black

31DC2014 Day 26 - Inspired By A Pattern

There are too many patterns in the world!!!
Choosing was so hard, I wanted to do something simple as I'm a little short on time these days, also patterns intimidate me, I'm much more of an abstract artist than anything else, at least when it comes to nail art. But I found this really pretty print on Pinterest which I like a lot.


The best thing about it is that it gives me room to be a little messy ;)


Polishes used:
OPI - Alpine Snow
OPI - I Just Can't Cope-acabana
OPI - Sorry I'm Fizzy Today
Black striper from The New Black

31DC2014 Day 23 - Inspired By A Movie

I was a little uninspired when I was looking for inspiration for this one.
One of my favorite movies it The Fall, it's really beautiful, colorful scenes and a lovely story.
When I went looking though pictures of this film on Google I came across this one.
And decided that this would be my inspiration.

I'm not extremely happy with how this turned out, I used a lighter red and a darker red to give the design more depth but that got totally lost on the pics.


Polishes used:
OPI - Alpine Snow
OPI - Coca-Cola Red
OPI - Red Hot Rio
