Happy New Year!!

Happy new year everyone, hope the new year is treating you well.

I was planning on taking part in a challenge this month but I'm not sure I'll follow through on that, the plan was to use Christmas vacation to brainstorm and maybe do a few designs in advance for the challenge but that didn't happen.

But here is my new years mani.

The photos are a little iffy, had to use flash to get the sparkles to show.

Polishes used:

Color Club - Harp On It

OPI - My Voice Is A Little Norse

OPI - All the sheer tints

Juicy Tomatoes

After the September-challenge craziness I'm trying to set myself blogging goals and actually following them through, this is not the first time I finish a challenge and then fall into a blogging rut, don't know what to blog about and what to paint on my nails, also up until now I've only posted sporadically, whenever the mood strikes or I do a pretty manicure, but now I want to put a little more effort into it and see how that goes.

For starters I've started several inspiration books where I can write things like prompts and themes, color schemes and trying to plan ahead for Christmas, Halloween, future challenges and such or if I don't know what to do I can look into my inspiration books and find something I like and want to try.

Well we'll see how that goes.

These are juicy tomatoes, I actually don't like tomatoes that much, the texture or something, I'm not sure, doesn't go well with me but I like these I did on my nails.

Are tomatoes fruits or vegetables?

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 ;)

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

31DC2014 Day 17 - Glitter

I LOVE glitter - but I'm not a big fan of glitter nail polish, mainly because it's a pain in the ass to take them off so when I was going through my collection I didn't find many glitters and somehow I didn't want to use any of them, I decided instead to just dump loose glitter over my nail polish.

To my delight the sun came out as I was photographing.

Polishes used:

OPI - 4 In The Morning

and glitter!
