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 11 - Polka Dots

This is done on my right hand and thus I used my non-dominant hand to do the nail art, you'll have to excuse that hand, it doesn't get as much love as the other hand and I suck at taking photos with my left hand.

I did this at the same time as the rainbow manicure because I wanted to try the technique I used more and see what would happen if I randomly placed the colors, these are also the same colors I used.


Polishes used:
OPI - Alpine Snow
OPI - Coca-Cola Red
OPI - Toucan Do It If You Try
OPI - I Just Can't Cope-acabana
OPI - You Are So Outta Lime!
OPI - No Room For The Blues
OPI - Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm?

31DC2014 Day 9 - Rainbow Nails

I saw this tutorial over at The Nailasaurus she calls it nimbus nail art and I wanted to see if I could recreate that somehow in rainbow colors, it didn't go exactly as planned because I hadn't even practiced it before I started on my nails but I think it went well.


Polishes used:
OPI - Alpine Snow
OPI - Coca-Cola Red
OPI - Toucan Do It If You Try
OPI - I Just Can't Cope-acabana
OPI - You Are So Outta Lime!
OPI - No Room For The Blues
OPI - Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm?

You know you're addicted to a nail polish brand when you can make a rainbow out of just that one brand ;)

31DC2013 Day 31 - Honor nails you love

I decided to honor Gelic' Nail Art's rainbow manicure. I love it, simple but so colorful and fun.

KleanColor- Concrete Gray
OPI - No Room For The Blues
Essie - Play Date
OPI - Cajun Shrimp
Depend no. 124

Funky light on this one, the stripes are bright and vivid but the grey looks more like a blue.


So now the challenge is over, I've challenged myself this month and done things I've been afraid to try. Some where a total fail but some I liked very much :)
