31 Day Challenge: Day 14: Flowers!

I am really happy with the way this mani turned out! I’m not a flowery person but this, I will definitely do again. I’m thinking it would be a super cute pedi.

This challenge is fun because it gives me an opportunity to play with a bunch of untried polishes. The base for this mani is Zoya Parker (one of three nudes I bought during the Earth Day promotion), the flowers are CG Riveting, Nicole by OPI Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi (a new fave!) and dots are CG Turned up Turquoise.

My new favorite top coat: Color Club. Not sure exactly what it is, but it came with my Take Wing Collection. It is SUPER SHINY and dries really fast.

I’ve been playing around with hand poses etc, I think I prefer the pictures without the nail polish bottles. I always felt like I would squeeze onto it for dear life. I think I’ll be bottle-less for the time being.

The other girls did flower last Monday, but go see what they have for today!

31 Day Challenge: Day 3: Yellow!

Hello and good afternoon! I am apologizing in advance for the paper cut I have on my index finger, it is getting super irritated from all the nail polish remover…ANYWAY, on to the business of the day:  I have a cute one to share today. I own ONE yellow polish. And it is a nail art polish. I could not see the sense in attemping to paint my whole nail with a nail art brush. So, here’s what I did:

I wish I had known how easy it is to do a French tip with a nail art brush! It was SO EASY! Even I could do it!This would have saved me years of heartache. Those french tip strips have never worked for me.
And, no clean up required!You know not everything could turn out the way I wanted, so my flower got a little sloppy drunk looking. Kinda wishing now I had stamped something, but I had grand ideas for this gem and those white dots - wellll....I need to remember that my nails are much smaller than I imagine in my head. 

Miracle of miracles, I 'think' I figured out how to finally schedule posts and actually have them post when I want! It's the simple things, really...

I am sure the other girls have something amazing to show you today! Head on over and check it out!
