Rainbow Nails – Day 9 #31DC2016

Rainbow Butterfly Nailart #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

Metallic Nails - 31SC2016 - SH Go For Gold - Layla Black Forest Bubbly - Closeup

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

31dc2016 black and white stamped bird nails swatch

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

31dc2016 violet nails stamped purple nails maybelline sally hansen

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

Day 5 of #31DC2016 - blue nail polish prompt using Essie Starry Starry Night and Set in Stones

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 […]

KleanColor Rose Scented Double Stamped Heart Manicure

Heart themed double stamped nailart using KleanColor Rose scented polish, MoYou White Knight, Essence Flame Fatale, Born Pretty Black stamping polish and Pueen Fairytale Lover 02

I recently posted a manicure with Pueen’s Fairytale Lover 02 plate and Quo by Orly’s Freshly Cut where Nichole from Bedlam Beauty requested I use the stamping image with the hearts.  Since this is the image that first lead me to discovering the Love Box 02 set after seeing it from NailStamp4Fun on youtube, I […]

31 Day Challenge – Days 1 – 4 #31DC2016

Days 1 through 4 of the #31DC2016 31 Day Challenge hosted by Chalkboard Nails

I had planned on participating in #31DC2016 but somehow September just crept up on me and before I realized it, it was the 3rd and I had not done any of them.  Not giving up, I spent my day playing with nail polishes and making a huge mess.  Since I am behind, I cheated a […]

Avon Fall Colour Report: Green Nail Polishes

Avon Fall Trends - Green Nail Polishes - Citronized - Turquoise Pop - Noir Emerald - Envy

I love a good dark green in fall but the Avon Colour Trend Report for fall shows that all greens are in and they have options for every skintone and look from brighter yellowed greens like Citronized, ultra wearable blue-greens like Turquoise Pop and your typical darker jeweled greens like Noir Emerald.  I already had […]

Back to School Chalkboard Equation Nails With Essence

Back to School Essence Stamped Nailart Sunlight

One of the images I never thought I would use from my Pueen Love Box 02 set suddenly appealed to me for back to school nails.  I never thought I would need a scientific equation nail stamp but loved the other images on the stamping plate, especially the plaid which I have used a few […]
