It is polka dot day for the 31 day challenge and I was torn between the pretty dotticures I saw for the 2015 challenge and sticking to a true polka dot which are evenly spaced. I ended up stamping the dots to make them fairly large and uniform in size and spacing using a silver […]
Zoya Holo Gradient Nails For #31DC2016
Gradient nails using Zoya Aurora and Storm for #31DC2016 Working on a lighting system for winter when I get less natural light. I think it looks ok but need to add a second light source as it is not quite bright enough for product shots and there are too many harsh shadows. Works for nail […]

Rainbow Nails – Day 9 #31DC2016
Day 9 of the 31 day nail challenge is rainbow nails. As pretty as they are, I hated this challenge, who wants to use 7+ polishes in a look. But I guess that is why it is a challenge. I decided on a rainbow gradient with butterflies from one of the newer square Born Pretty […]
Metallic Nails For #31DC2016
I went for a simpler look today. The theme for day 8 of the #31DC2016 challenge is metallic nails and while I had grand thoughts of a look that I still plan to do sometime in the future so will keep secret, I just didn’t have the time. I have used Layla Bubbly in Black […]
Black & White Bird Themed Nails #31DC2016
Black and white is probably my favourite of the colour themes for the #31DC2016 challenge. I have wanted to use this bird themed plate for ages and since it always looks good in black and white manis, it seemed like the perfect time to try it out. I went for a different look on each […]
Violet Nails For Day 6 of #31DC2016
After much discussion of what colour violet really is, more blue or more pink and spreading all of my purple-ish polishes on the floor much to the confusion of my cats, and headed to wikipedia (because wiki answers everything) which says “Violet is the color of amethyst, lavender and beautyberries”. I have a Maybelline polish […]

Essie Starry Starry Night & Set In Stones #31DC2016 Day 5
No stamping for day 5 of the #31DC2016 challenge! The prompt is blue nail polish and I went for an easy look using Essie Starry Starry Night and a topper of Set in Stones. Keeping it simple since I am just catching up with the others. Since this is glitter heavy, I started with a […]
