#31DC2017: 5. Blue

So I’ve been sitting here for quite a while now, thinking on how to start this post because let’s be honest, my life isn’t always that exciting! Do I talk about the weather? Do I ask you how your day went? Do I think of some funny story about fandoms I love? Out of all the endless options, I was pretty stumped. But then it hit me!…Just write am intro about how you have nothing to write an intro about! BOOM! I am a genius! I just stole 30 seconds of your life and I don’t even feel guilty! THE POWER OF THE INTERNET! MHUUUHAHAHAHAHAHA

So anyway…on to today’s prompt of the #31DC2017 we go!

5. Blue

Today’s mani was supposed to be inspired by something, but man, it just did not work like I wanted it too! So I am not going to say what it was inspired by because I am going to try and use it later on in the challenge again! AHA! 2 flies, one smack and whatnot…

I started by laying down 2 coats of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (the OG one) as my base. I then blended a bit of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue & China Glaze Man Hunt with a fan brush and then after taking off the excess, just lightly brushed it over the base. Next, I added a tiny bit of acetone to a blob of China Glaze First Mate and just made some light strokes randomly over everything. Lastly using a super small headed dotting tool & Sinful Colors Snow Me White, I added some specks.

Like I said, there was actual inspiration behind this mani but it didn’t do the inspiration justice and the effect is really important to me! I’m HOPEFULLY going to try it again later on in this challenge, so keep an eye out for that.

Lots of mad love…

#31DC2014 - Day 5: Blue Nails aka It's Friday! Friday!

Hey lovelies! Are you guys super excited BECAUSE IT’S ALMOST WEEKEND?? Yeaaaaaaaaaaas! Well Friday or no Friday, today is Day 5 of the #31DC2014 which means blue. So let’s get right into it, shall we?

Day 5: Blue Nails 

If I say I wasn’t totally excited about Day 5’s prompt, I would be lying! Not only is it my absolute favourite shade of nail polish but I had a sick idea in mind...well, pretty sick if you’re an Adventure Time fan...and then some unforseen circumstances and absolute exhaustion from a pretty damn rough week at work happened so I prompted for a tape mani instead. Still a WIN though ‘cause BLUE!

I started by laying down a base of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue on my index finger, China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le on my middle finger, China Glaze Sky High-Top on my ring finger and OPI Swimsuit...Nailed It! on my pinky. When this was dry, I taped off individual sections of my nails and filled them in with the various blues named above, overlapping them slightly over each other each time.

As simple as this mani is, I’m going to sound HELLA vain and say I love how it came out! And man guys, if you don’t have OPI Swimsuit...Nailed It!, GO GET IT! I don’t care if you Ebay stalk, beg or whatever. She is so worth it! Dammit, I should’ve bought a double....

Lots of mad love...
