Half Moon Nail Art For #31DC2016

31DC2016 Half Moons Cirque Dear Dahlia

Day 18 of #31DC2016 is half moon nail art.  I rarely wear half moon nails, just not a fan of the look personally but it seemed like it should be simple.  Everyone uses those hole punch protector stickers so I set out to Dollarama and then Staples in search of them but everywhere is either […]

Avon Lavender Sky Geometric Design #31DC2016

31DC2016 Day 16 - Geometric Swatch - Avon Lavender Sky and MdU Fantasy - Pueen Geo Lover 02

Keeping the geometric prompt for the 31 day nail art challenge fairly simple as I wanted to keep the last two looks on as long as possible.  Luckily, I own a Pueen stamping plate called Geo Lover 02 making it an easy choice for today.  It looks so plain after using multiple polishes for flowers and […]

Zoya Smoosh With Delicate Print #31DC2016

31DC2016 Day 15 - Delicate Print - Zoya Kelly Lake Eastyn Smoosh Stamped Swatch

As much as I didn’t want to take off the beautiful flowers I did for yesterday’s challenge, I actually quite like this design.  More than I thought I would anyway.  The prompt for day 15 of the 31 day nail art challenge is delicate print.  I went for a muted background using a smoosh of […]

Animal Print Nails #31DC2016

The prompt for day 13 of the 31 day nail art challenge is animal print. Whatever animal I decided on does not really exist since I can’t think of a beige animal with copper stripes but first neutral polish out of the stash wins since I did not have a lot of motivation for this […]

Zigzag Stripe Nailart #31DC2016

31DC2016 Zigzag Lines Stripes - Quo Freshly Cut - MoYou Fashionista 04

Usually the novelty of challenges wears off around now but still going strong on #31DC2016.  The challenge for day 12 is stripes and I decided to go with zigzag lines using my new favourite red polish with black as the contrasting colour. Starting with a base of two coats of Quo by Orly Freshly Cut, […]

Polka Dot Nails For #31DC2016

31DC2016 Polka Dots - Essence Rock My World and Mdu Silver - Swatch

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

31DC2016 Gradient Nails - Zoya Aurora Storm

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 […]
