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 […]

Zoya Oswin Stamped Glitter Mani #31DC2016

I am quite impressed with myself for getting this far in the 31 day nail art challenge. Usually, I lose interest or run out of time early on but am going strong this time. The prompt for day 17 of #31DC2016 is glitter and I had planned to use Zoya Thea, one of my fave […]
Avon Lavender Sky Geometric Design #31DC2016

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

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 […]
Advanced Nail Stamping Flowers #31DC2016

I will admit, I am a little in love with this look and didn’t want to take it off to work on day 15 of the challenge. Especially since Jazz freaked out at a shadow and ripped my hand apart so it hurts to do any nail art. Day 14 of the challenge is flowers […]
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

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

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 […]
