Day 29-Inspired by: The Supernatural

Morning Ladies!
Oh sundays they are so bitter sweet, the weekend is coming
to an end, the work week is almost starting up again, hmphh.
I wish every day was Saturday, because thats the best day
of the week! I also cannot believe there is only TWO, two
freaking more days of this challenge, I am SO proud of myself
for putting the effort into my blog for all of January & it has made
me realize how much I love blogging, how happy it makes me &
that I love to interact with you ladies & blogging this much has also
taught me alot about myself. So I hope you look forward to seeing
LOTSSS of posts from me in the future! I have so many things that
I have brainstormed that I want to share with you ladies! So keep your
eyes peeled. I will hopefully have a better camera soonish - therefore
better quality pictures! I am slowly but surely saving up!

Anyways onto todays post today is to be inspired by the
supernatural, & automatically when I think of supernatural
I think of vamipres. Now Vampires are something I have
always been a fan of, even before twilight, I know crazy right.
Dracula used to be my favourite story ahaha, dont ask me why.
So I did a vampire inspired manicure today! This tipically wouldnt
be something I would wear on a regular basis, I think it is more
for halloween. But I do really love the way it turned out :D

For the base color I used China Glaze - Lubu Heels, then just

a white nail art pen for the fangs & China Glaze - Phat Santa

for the dripping bloooood.

What do you think?

Would you wear this on a normal day becides halloween??

Day 28: Inspired by: A Flag

Good Morning Ladies!
YAY the weekend has arrived, I am going to visit my sister
& go to one of her two baby showers this weekend :D Im
excited to see the little monster again! So todays challenge
was to be inspired by a flag. & I chose the one place where
my most favourite person in the world lives. Costa Rica.
Her name is Adriana & she is the one who I originally
decided to do this challenge with, @moriesnailart, she
has become an amazing friend we are basically twins.
So I googled the flag & realized thank GOD it is so easy
to recreate ahah! Because if it was hard I dont know what
I would have done! Here is my inspiration!!

There were some with a little crest on the far left but I decided
that I was going to pretend that that didnt exist ahaha :D Sorry
Adri if that is actually an important part of the flag, I am not ready
for that yet! The colors I used were, Sally Hansen - Whirlwind White,
Essies - Aruba Blue, Orlys - Monroe's Red & topped it all off with
Essies - Pure Perfection from the luxeeffect collection & of course a
coat of my favourite top coat Essies Good To Go :D

What do u think??
I think they turned out pretty fabulous!

Day 27-Inspired by: Artwork

Happy Friday!
Okay im going to keep this pretty short & sweet. Todays
challenge is to be inspired by artwork, now Andy Warhol
has been my favourite artist since I can remember, his work
is so bright & fun & I am so attracted to it so Warhol inspired
me today! I originally wanted to create 5 of his art pieces on
each nail, but that didnt pan out because I wasnt happy with
anything & it was getting later & later last night so I decided
to stick with the easiest to recreate, I know I got lazy :( So
I went with the Campbells Soup Can. UGH I just love it
& it is one of his more famous pieces, in my opinion, & I also
love soup ahaha so this is a win win for me :D

I decided to combine the soup can with his more pop art
bright work & I did soup skittle nails! I have said this before
& ill say it again, ahah I do not have a steady hand so my
nail art isnt the greatest, but I am pretty happy with how it
turned out. I used from thumb to pinkie, Rimmel - Rapid Ruby,
ChG - Kiwi Cool-Ada, Revlon - Sweet Tart, Sally Hansen -
Lightning, & ChG - Flying Dragon. & for the base Sally Hansen -
Whirlwind White!

What do u think??
They are definately not my best :( & my fingers were too small
to fit campbells, so its technically camp soup ahahahah!!
But I am slowly learning & that was the whole point of this challenge!

Also I have been depriving myself of glitter, I think something is wrong with me.

Day 26-Inspired by: A Pattern

Morning Ladies!!
Its Thursday already YAY!!! thank god ahaha!! Todays
challenge is inspired by a pattern & I am honestly not one
much for patterns, they kinda intimidate me, so I stick to
just straight solid colors, atleast when it comes to clothing.
But I am a fan of patterns on other people, weird right. I
think I just appriceate them having to courage to wear such
bold out of the ordinary patterns, the only pattern that I will
wear is leopard ahah. So one of my most favourite shows is
Gossip Girl. & Blair, OMG she is my absolute favourite,
she is such a bitch I just love her! & her wardrobe is amazing!
Its just so funky & out of the ordinary & bold, I am aspiring
to be like her one day! So I found this dress on google & I
fell in LOVE.

This dress is AMAZING, I am obsessed with flowers & this
dress just SCREAMS summer at me, so I knew I needed to
~~attempt~~ to recreate it. Like I have said previsoully I am not a
professional by anymeans & nail art isnt my strong suit, but I
am trying new things & branching out a bit. So this is what I
came up with!

I think I did a pretty amazing job :D I used Sally Hansen's - Whirlwind White
for the base, with a thin layer of ChG - For Audrey, then for the flowers/pattern
I used Joe Fresh - Grape, WNW- Saved by the Blue, Sally Hansen - Lightning,
OPIs- Who the Shrek are you? & OPIs - Ginger Bells.

What do you think?
OH & p.s. do you see how AWFUL my thumb nail is.
yep I cut off my nail because it split about a week ago.
if you look closely at previous posts you can see it through
the polish, but I did not want to cut it off at all! but it was
hurting so bad, that I caved, UGHHHHHH its so awful.

Make sure you check out the ladies that I am doing this challenge

with & follow them so you can see what they come up with!!!
