flower nails

Day fourteen of the 31 Day Challenge, flower nails!
I love flowers, I'm just not very good at doing them for nail art!
I can paint em, draw em, grow em, arrange em, not nail art em. ;)

Base: Wet n Wild "Bite the Bullet" 3 coats

Daisies: KISS Nail art in Yellow & Sally Hansen Xtreme nails "White On" 1 coat each

striped nails

Day twelve of the 31 Day Challenge, striped nails!
I don't really like stripes, I don't like to do them, don't like to wear them, don't like em. But, I promised I'd do this challenge, so I will oblige!
I've been without wireless internet for the last few days so i'm gonna have to catch up now, although, I did do the manicures on their intended days!

As you can tell, it looks terrible. :|, this one was just uninspired and didn't last long.

Turquoise: Finger Paints "Tiffany Imposter" 2 coats

Purple" Wet N Wild "Bite the Bullet" 2 coats

yellow nails.

So for day three of the 31 Day Challenge, we have yellow nails!

Le sigh, macro lens, always making my cuticles look much worse then they appear in person.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure "Yellow Kitty" 3 coats

Wet n Wild "Hallucinate" 3 coats

Revlon "Multicare Base + Top coat" 2 coats

Love love love. My camera just doesn't pick up the beauty that hallucinate truly is. It's a sheer white / clear polish with white, green, blue, copper, pink, purple, turquoise glitter inside. It has a kind of holographic effect but it's just not your typical holo polish.

nobodys perfect, it aint easy

Just a quick swatch

So, as you can see, my nails have taken a beating while I was on vacation .. must too much stacking and cutting firewood. :(

orangeya glad i didn't say banana?

Just a really rough swatch of a polish I bought today!
Wet n Wild Fast Dry "9.0.2.1.0RANGE" - 4 coats!
I like the colour but i'm not sure how well it suits me!

so hold me closer tiny dancer

2nd manicure of today!
I got a little lazy with my swatching tonight so I did two colours on one hand.

Thumb & Middle Finger: Wet n Wild "Bite the Bullet" 2 coats

Index & Ring Finger: Revlon Scented Collection "Beach" 3 coats

Pinky Finger: Bite the Bullet with Beach on top.

For my pinky finger, I decided to try something new and I layered the two colours, when I first thought of the idea I figured it'd look silly, but, it turns out that I really liked it! It gives it a goldish look that I really liked!
As for "Bite the Bullet", I really like it and it went on flawlessly!
However, "Beach" was less impressive to me. In natural light it's a lot more yellow than it appears in the bottle. I kinda like it though! As for the scent, when I smell it, it reminds me of sunscreen rather than the beach.

random manicure.

So, I had an idea in my head and I tried it on paper, it just didn't work out. So, not being able to decide on a design, I just did a bunch of random ones.
First, a base coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Mint Sprint". This is ONE coat, the formula of this polish is amazing.

Then, I added one coat of "CHARMING", I got it for Christmas and I *think* the brand is The Color Institute, but there's no brand on the bottle.

Then, a coat of OPI Black Shatter on my ring finger.

Followed by various nail art done with Kiss Nail Art Polishes in black and white.

On top of that, two coats of Wet N Wild "Party of Five Glitters"
