31 Day Challenge 2.0 Day 29

Kiss me, kiss me/Infect me with your love and/Fill me with your poison/Take me, take me/Wanna be a victim/Ready for abduction/Boy, you're an alien/Your touch so foreign/It's supernatural/Extraterrestrial

It's day 29 babies!! Happy Saturday, I'm feeling good today.  I went to bed early last night finally got some needed extra sleep.  I got my Milani Cosmetics Fall into Beauty prize in the mail this morning.  I finally have everything I need to work on my swatchicles. Uhhh and mama got a new post for you ;) woot woot. 

My Katy Perry lyrics introduction was a dead give away of my supernatural choice for this challenge...ALIENS!  These were very inspired by the marvelous Madeline Poole.  I saw her nails for American Apparel on Instagram and saw the answer to my, 'what the hell am I going to do for this dang supernatural challenge?' question.

They're so cute and imperfect lol, my little mean green men/women.  Sometimes painting your own nails can be a real b!|¢# haha.  I just couldn't angle my hand right.  So my aliens are a little wonky but still cute ;) and they glow in the dark!!!

OMG the easiest galaxy/nebulae nails I've ever done.  I only used 5 nail polishes and I love how they came out.  Wanna know what I did?  I started with 2 coats of New York Color Skin Tight Denim, a gorgeous midnight blue.  After I let that dry I used the saran wrap technique on a coat of Wet n Wild Black Creme (WAH!?!).  When that was dry I sponged some Wet n Wild French White Creme and Sinful Colors Why Not, finally topped it off with Wet n Wild Coloricon mini holo glitter.  Simple, easy and I love it!  By using the saran wrap technique on the base color it gave it this realistic depth.  I'm going to do this for all my galaxy nails!

Polishes Used:

• Glow in the Dark Pumpkin Enamel Slime Green color
• New York Color Skin Tight Denim
• Wet n Wild Black Creme
• Wet n Wild French White Creme
• Sinful Colors Why Not
• Wet n Wild coloricon mini Holographic Glitter

31 Day Challenge 2.0 Day 28

It's Day 28...I can't believe just 3 more challenges to go. Very happy that there are only 3 left :). Todays theme is Inspired by a Flag.  Of course I chose my favorite flag, my Jamaican flag!!!  I always have to represent every chance I get.

Since I've done the Jamaican Flag at least twice already, one recently for the Olympics. I decided to not just do the actual flag. I wanted to do something different with it. I chose to go abstract with my black, green and yellow.

Love love love the way these came out. It's not the straight up flag but you know exactly what it is. 

After I finished my nails I realized I kind of did the same thing for last years challenge.  I did the Union Jack but put 1 line on each nail.  Hmmmmm maybe I'll do an abstract Union Jack next :).  How do feel about abstract flags?

Polishes Used:

• Sinful Colors Pull Over
• Sinful Colors Exotic Green
• Wet n Wild Black Creme

31 Day Challenge 2.0 Day 27

Hi everyone, it's another late post day today :( sorry.  Still feeling a bit under the weather but I couldn't bring myself to not do my next challenge design.  The theme for today is Inspired by Artwork.  I pretty much just googled abstract art to find some inspiration.  I found a couple things but I really liked this graffiti piece in particular.

To successfully transfer the piece into a nail design I visually cut the image up.  This way different parts of the artwork was placed on different nails.  I actually remembered that from Art class in Middle School.  The only difference being, I enlarged a tiny image back then :).
I do love the way they came out, wish I wasn't feeling like crap though.   They could have been better.  I'm so out of it I can't even think of more words to say haha.  So I'm just going to slap another picture here and make the crazy list of polishes I used for this design.  I will see you tomorrow beautiful people!!! 

Polishes Used:

• Wet n Wild French White Creme
• Wet n Wild Black Creme
• Wet n Wild megalast I Need a Refresh-Mint
• New York Color Sidewalkers
• New York Color City Sweets Pink
• Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Brisk Blue
• Essie Navigate Her
• Sinful Colors Go Go Girl
• Milani Jiffy Orange
• Milani Hot Pink Frenzy
• Starlicious Lacquer Franken Mustard Shade (name in progress)

31 Day Challenge 2.0 Day 26

Hey there beautiful people! It's time for Day 26 of the challenge.  The theme is inspired by a pattern.  I chose the pattern on one my favorite pair of socks.

I actually put this design on my second nail wheel last year.  Not sure why it took me so long to put the design on my nails.   I guess it's a good thing I didn't do it already.  It made figuring out what to do for todays challenge so much easier.

I was not looking forward to tackling this design today.  I didn't know if I should use tape or just freehand it.  In the end I just did it freehand and cleaned up any little messes as best I could.  

I love the way they came out.  Another manicure I might cry a little when I have to take it off later :(.  Funny thing and by complete accident, I'm wearing the socks to match my nails right now hehe.  No feet pictures for you lol.  

Polishes Used:

• Wet n Wild Black Creme
• Sinful Colors Exotic Green
• Sinful Colors Pull Over
• Sinful Colors Nail Art No More
• Sinful Colors Nail Art A Slice To Go
• Sinful Colors Nail Art Orange Alert

31 Day Challenge 2.0 Day 25

First I want to apologize for not posting yesterday, I'm a bad blogger tsk tsk.  I woke up and I wasn't feeling 100% and I had some housework that NEEDED to get done. So by the time I finished my nails it was 8pm :/.  But I did post twice Wednesday that makes up for it, right? :(.  Well, here are my Day 25: Inspired by Fashion nails!

I'm your typical girlish girl, I love fashion.  Clothes, makeup, jewelry, shoes, nail polish, gimme gimme I love it.  Naturally I was looking forward to this challenge.  I hit up TopShop.com and found this beauty.

I had to recreate it!  Especially since I've been trying to weasel a zig zag design into this challenge.  I haven't actually done one before. 

Didn't do too bad, if I do say so myself.  I messed up on a nail but it's not too noticeable.  Can you tell which one? Haha

I love the way these came out.  There's nothing better than some glitter, right?  Well except the next day when you need to take it off :/ Why do I hate myself? Lol A huge thank you to the creator of the tin foil glitter removal technique.  I do want to make myself some glue base so I can just peel it off.  Any of you try that out yet?

Polishes Used:

• New York Color Mulberry Street
• Sephora by O.P.I Sugar Plum Fairies Gone Wild
• Petites Color Fever 24k Gold
• Wet n Wild Red Red
• Sephora by O.P.I Be-Claus I Said So

Thanks For Stopping By!!

31 Day Challenge 2.0 Day 24

Oh my goodness, 2 posts in one day? Complete madness, nah I just really need to catch up with the challenge.  I'm back again today with Day 24: Inspired by a Book.  My novel of choice is by The Misters favorite author Terry Pratchett.

A Discworld novel called Feet of Clay.  The whole Discworld Series is awesome and I've been meaning to pick up where I left off.  But I can't find a moment in my day or night to just chillax with a great book.

Honestly I can't remember if I read this one yet.   I pretty much just went through The Misters vast collection of Terry Pratchett novels looking for a cover that would make for beautiful nail art.  Feet of Clay won!

Then I got to the feet and started regretting my decision :(.  Trying to draw feet on your nails is hard enough.  A foot with 6 toes IMPOSSIBLE haha.  Did my best and got 4 toes on there lol.

The bubbles are definitely my favorite.  It's why I chose this book.  For this design all I used were dotting tools, the ends of some of my brushes and my favorite homemade nail art brush.  Homemade? You ask.  It's just an old liquid eyeliner brush I cleaned and cut a tiny bit of girth off of.  WHAT!!?!! Lol Do you have any nifty handmade nail art tools?

Polishes Used:

• Essie Mesmerize
• Wet n Wild Black Creme
• Wet n Wild Red Red
• Sinful Colors Pull Over

31 Day Challenge 2.0 Day 23

Hey peeps, I'm going to keep this post short and sexy ;).  For Day 23: Inspired by a Movie I chose Star Wars.  Mainly because I tried to execute this exact design last year and failed, miserably haha.

It's Darth Vader and a red Lightsaber!!! These nails were all about the matte and shiny effect.

Here's a shot of the lightsaber connected.  I was actually patient enough to use tape for these haha.  I needed to make sure I was lined up perfectly.  How are you with tape manicures?  I always give up and freehand it.

Oddly, I couldn't get a good photo of Darth Vader using the lightbox and my digital camera.  But using my phone and the lighting in my bathroom he showed up perfectly.  I know I could have just used black and white or gray/silver to detail Vader.  I really wanted to stay true to the fact that he's all black.  It's not the most amazing Darth Vader I suck at character drawings but I'm very proud of it.  It's 100 times better than the first :)

Polishes Used:

• Spoiled by Wet n Wild Ants in my Pants
• Wet n Wild Black Creme
• Sally Hansen Pumping Iron
• New York Color Broadway Burgundy Frost
• Wet n Wild Wild Shine Clear Nail Protector
• New York Color Matte Me Crazy
