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 […]
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 […]
