#31DC2015 Blue aka...no! No aka today!

Hi lovelies! Since I'm not really a person for posting on Saturdays I am going to keep todays post very very short and oh so sweet!

#31DC2015: Blue


I love blue! Seriously! It is possibly my spirit animal of nail polish...funnily enough I had NO inspiration whatsoever I got to this prompt. So basically I picked up my nail art brush, some blue polishes that "spoke" to me and I just went to town!

For my base I layed down 2 coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White. When this was dry I made weird flamey shapes with my trusty nail art brush and Sally Hansen Pacific Blue. To finish the mani off I took a thin striping brush and added the darker blue lines with Zoya Song.

Blue makes me so happy! And I am LOVING Sally Hansen Pacific Blue. I finally know now why people went so nuts when the original color got re-done...dammit, now I need to go dust hunting for back-ups of this polish!

Lots of mad love...

#31DC2015: Green aka Feeling All Leafy!

I need to stop with these titles...honestly! What the hell is "feeling leafy"?? Do I feel kinda swept away?? All fragile and green?? Like I can be plucked off at any second?? ...maybe! Wow, I think I just discovered my inner emo child. Better stock up on black eyeliner and bad internet quotes! And much like my post title, this rant was utterly pointless and went absolutely NOWHERE! So let's rather get on with the #31DC2015.

#31DC2015: Green


So, I've had a certain Wistonia plate that has been kind of bugging me for a while now because I've really been wanting to use it but the time just didn't feel right. So along came the #31DC2015 and when I saw the green prompt I knew I have finally found the right time!

I started out by laying down 2 coats of China Glaze Starboard for my base color. Next I used Wistonia plate W202 and stamped on the leaf images with Mundo De Unas Lime. For the lady bugs I used Hean City Fashion #156, WOW Nail Polish #393 and Sinful Colors Snow Me White.

Haaaa, I don't often say this but I think these look cute! Kinda springy and happy. And who doesn't love ladybugs. Just because they kind of give me a rash when they walk on me doesn't mean I don't like them. They aight by me!

Lots of mad love...

#31DC2015: Yellow aka I Just Came To Say...Yellow??

Did you sing my title?? Come ooooon! It's epic!...okay, I suck. I know. But just go with it okay? Let me not jabber on about WEAK ASS titles though and rather jump straight into the stuff you are actually here to see!

#31DC2015: Yellow

I haven't done a skittlette in AGES so when the inspiration hit me for this many, I was kind of over the moon! And epic thing is the inspiration literally just hit me out of the blue...or yellow?? Suck it Google! I didn't need you this time!

I started out by laying down 2 coats of Tip Top Nail Chic Sun Kissed over all my nails. On my ring finger I added a coat of Seche Vite Top Coat and added a bunch of different black rhinestones and studs which I painted black using WOW Nail Polish #393. On my middle finger I put on some sellotape to make the triangular shape, added a thick coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White over the gap and pulled the tape off immediately. Then I laid down a few mini chevron vinyls by NailVinyls over the white and filled in the spaces with WOW Nail Polish #393. Lastly I just laid down a coat of L.A. Girl Spotted over the yellow on my pinky and index finger.

Again, super simple but I actually seriously dig this mani! I have a thing for black and yellow and badly want to make my lounge yellow, white and black but the husband wont bite. I'll get him there one day though! Tee hee hee!

Lots of mad love...

#31DC2015: Orange aka Orange you glad I'm posting again??

Ok yes! My title is SUPER LAME but whatever mkay? Bad jokes and horrible puns are kind of my thing! AND DAMMIT, I SHALL EMBRACE IT!

Anyhoo, on to le good stuff...

#31DC2015: Orange

So I might have been dying to try Ikat nails for quite some time now but when it comes to actually doing my nails, I completely forget about it! So what better time than the #31DC2015 right? I'm not going to describe in detail how I did it but if you want to do Ikat nails you can follow this very easy tutorial by Kayla Shevonne.

For my base I used China Glaze Recycle. For my Ikat pattern I used OPI In My Back Pocket (light orange), Tip Top Nail Chic Solar Flare (darker orange) and my trusty WOW Nail Polish #393 for the black parts.

Easy peasy lemon squeezey! Oh and yay for killing an untried that's been sitting in my polish drawer for over a year! I will definitely be using you again, OPI In My Back Pocket!

Lots of made love...

And so it begins...#31DC2015

Lovelies! Oh my glob, oh my glob, OH MY GLOB, it is finally here! THE 31 Day Challenge 2015!!! Are you spazzing cos I’m spazzing...SO HARD! I am excited and terrified at the same time but you know what? I am going to try my best to finish it! GO TEAM ME! 

I am jumping straight into the challenge today so let’s get to it shall we?

#31DC2015: Red 

I’ll be dead honest. When I open my polish drawers, red doesn’t tend to be the first colour I go for so it didn’t leave me feeling very inspired. Luckily after browsing through some colour combos on Pinterest, I finally found a colour that goes with red that makes me go “squeeeeeeee” and the red...and teal mani was born!

I started out by laying down 2 coats of OPI Fly as my base. When this was dry, I went in with my nail art brush and made cloudy type shapes using Sinful Colors Snow Me White. I then used the same brush and made random round blobs with Hean City Fashion #156 over the white. Finally, I went in with my striping brush and just added white circles around the blobs to round them off.

  

I was pretty happy with this mani. I did realise though that I need to invest in some good acrylic paints so I can paint things like circles...well, more circley! But Day 1 down, ammaright?? Only 30 more prompts to go!

Lots of mad love...
