Day 31-Recreate your favourite challenge

MORNINGGGGGGGGGGG :D
Hi ladies! today is the last day of the challenge & I just want
to start off by saying I am so happy I did this challenge! I am
almost at 4,000 page views & I reached over 100 followers
& that just warms my heart that you ladies want to read & see
what I love doing :) & the fact that I have a good community of
girls that I can talk polish with that actually understand me means
so much to me! because my other friends just dont get the addiction
so I just want to say a quick thank you & I love each & every
one of you for being so supportive!! Okay so I would like to know
what would you like to see from me in the future?? I would really
like to do some dupe/comparison posts, or maybe make it some
sort of series like battles of the perfect nude polish or something!
ahaa I dont know! If you have any suggestions just let me know!
Also I have a tonnnnnnneeee of nail mail on the way so I will
definately blog about it as soon as I get it :D


So todays final challenge is to recreate your favourite challenge
& me & the girls that I am doing the challenge with didnt know
what we wanted to do! we threw some ideas around & came up
with recreating our most favourite challenge day from one girl :|
I really want to evenutally recreate my favourite from everyone!
Once everyone gets a chance to catch up, but the day ends so fast
so I figured just picking our one overall favourite would be better
for time & we would actually be able to focus on the pattern!
So of course I chose my absolute favourite challenge day from
Adriana :D Just Click Here.  I chose her Day 11: Polka Dots.
Ugh this is the most amazing mani I have ever seen, Adri is SO
talented & creative to come up with this; I would have never thought
of it! I wanted to do a bunch of different glitters like she did, but
the chunky glitters that I own all have micro glitters aswell & it
didnt turn out nice, So I just used one color. The colors I used
are ChG - White on White for the base, Essies - Fiji, Deborah
Lippman - Whatever Lola Wants & for the glitter ChG - Doll
House. It didnt turn out as good as Adri's did but still I am OBSESSED
& you ladies know how I feel about glitter so this is perfect for me!

 



What do you think?
 You definately need a lot of patience because you need
to pick up each piece of glitter with a toothpick & lay it down.
but the results are TOTALLYY worth it! Im so happy that
will get to wear this on my nails for the next few days & wont have
to take it off tomorrow!! I also am going to tweet a picture from
work tomorrow in the natural sunlight so make sure your following
me on there @polishandiamond


Definately follow these lovely ladies who braved
this 31 day challenge with me!!




Thats all I have for you ladies today!!
Have a fabulous week!
I hope to see you sooon!

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.


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!!!

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.

Day 25-Inspired by: Fashion

Morning Ladies!!
I cannot believe we only have 5 days left of this challenge! WOW!
So ladies today is inspired by fashion HUH? I am not like a super
fashionable person, so when it said inspired by fashion I had no idea
what to do ahahah. So I kinda just googled fashion show & found this.

























I kinda really like this dress, I am a BIG fan of color blocking.
So I figured this would be pretty easy to recreate, yeah no..
I am not good at freehanding, I do NOT have a steady hand.
so I did my best, but as you ladies know I am no professional ahah!
So I used OPIs - Funky Dunkey, Essies - Fiji, Essies - Little brown
dress & Wet & Wilds - FuchsiaRama. Here you go!



What do you ladies think???
I am undecided, I could have picked something cooler,
but im not very creative ahaha!

Day 24-Inspired by: A Book

Good Morning Ladies.
Sorry my post is up a bit later than usual, I had part 1 of my
root canal this morning. It wasnt as bad as I thought it was
going to be, but still sucks ahaha. So today is inspired by a
book. I picked The Hunger Games. I am in the midst of
reading the first book because of the movie & of course
the ChG collecting is coming out in March, I think, ahaha I
am excited for the collection so bad! Im pretty sure I am
going to hopefully be able to own the whole collection
because it is so gorgeous & there is not one color that
I dont like!!! Just look!!








































OMG IT IS SO FRIGGIN GORGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
I am OBSESSED with neutral colors lately so this collection
is PERFECT for me ahaha!!
So the colors I chose for this manicure are Finger Paints - Meet 
Me At The Met for the base, it is a GORGEOUS gray blue black
color, China Glaze - Champagne Bubbles for the middle, ring finger
& some of the flames. For the rest of the flames I used OPI's- Thanks 
So Muchness! & OPIs - Take The Stage. I honestly am not very
good at nail art ahaha & but I still think the freehand drawing turned
out pretty well!!


 This is the only time I have had natural light when im swatching, 
What do u think? Do u prefer artifical light??



What do u ladies think??
Are you excited for the hunger games polishes, if so what color??

Day 23-Inspired by: A Movie

Good Morning Ladies;
Its monday again blahhhh. I did nothing this weekend except
swatch, shop & sleep. ahah SSS, story of my life!! So todays
challenge is inspired by a movie, I picked one of my absolute
favourite movies of all time, Tron Legacy. UGHH if you havent
seen Tron, you need to go buy it & watch it atleast 3 times, it
is SUCH an amazing movie! & Garrett Hedlund is oh so sexy,
yummmm. So I did each nail a different characters suit :D
The pointer finger is Sam Flynn, the middle finger is Quorra,
the ring finger is Gem the siren & pinkie is Clu. I just used
my typical OPI black onyx, with a white nail art pen, Chg
White on White, with a silver nail art pen & Essies bright
tights for the orange on the Clu nail. Also the glitter on my
thumb is a holographic gliter franken:D I hope you ladies
enjoy looking at this as much as I loved doing it!!




What do u ladies think??
What is your favourite movie??

Day 22-Inspired by: A Song

Morning Ladies.
UGH the weekend is almost over again, lameee. Getting
closer to my root canal :( not excited. So todays challenge
is to be inspired by a song, I had NO idea what I wanted
to do, I looked at so many lyrics to so many songs that I
liked trying to figure out how to get inspired by it, & I could
not figure out what I liked. So I kinda took the easy way
out :| I picked 99 Red Balloons by Nena, everytime I listen
to this song it makes me extreemly happy, I just love the
beat ahah. here it is for your viewing pleasure!!



Im not totally sure, but I am pretty sure it was done in
German first, maybe thats why I enjoy the song because
it brings out my germanness ahah if thats even a word!
Anyways so I basically turned my nails into a sky
full of balloons. I didnt go into the deep war meaning
of this song, I just kept it simple. I used OPIs Whats
with the Cattitude?, Revlons Red Hot Tamale for
the balloons, & Sally Hansen Whirlwind White for
the clouds & then just my black nail art pen for the
string :D Check it out ladies.



What do you ladies think??
Even though I technically couldnt fit 99 red balloons
on my one hand I still really really like how it turned
out & it was SO simple to do!!

Day 21-Inspired by: A Colour

Morning Ladies;
Hope you are having a fabulous start to your weekend :D
My plans today are to go polish hunting im excited!!! So
these last 10 days are all inspired by things, & today is
a color. Let me just say, before I even started doing this
challenge I knew exactly what I wanted to do for todays
post! As most of you know I am a receptionist at an
engineering company, I do a SHIT ton of filing I have
never seen so many files in my whole life ahaha, so we
hang them up in file hangers, obviously, & there is this
one file hanger that is the most gorgeous maroon-redish
color & UGH im obsessed with the color, so that is what
I chose to inspire me today :D I used Essies Lady Like
& Orlys Rockin' Rocket. I did a tape mani because it
seemed fitting because it goes every which way just like
files do ahaha cheesy I know, I really like how it turned
out! I will definately be using tape for my manis more often
even though it takes a ton of patience! Check it out;




What do u ladies think??
Have you tried any sort of tape mani??
What color inspires you??

That is all I have for you lovelies today!

Day 20-Water Marbled Nails

Happy Friday Ladies!!
Im just gonna start off by saying that today was my very
first time even attempting water marbled nails, I watched
so many tutorials, thank GOD for YouTube. I did about
39 different color combs & attempts at this & just didnt
like any of them, but then I guess I became a professional
& actually figured out how to make it work. I used Sally
Hansen Whirlwind White as my base & then marbled
OPIs Ogre-the-top-blue, Orlys Fancy Fuchsia, which is
the best pink color ever, & A-England in Avalon, which
is also the most gorgeous purple color serisoully if you do
not have this color go & order it from here, your welcome.
I am not completely satsfied, I dont think I ever really am,
it was nearly impossible for me to not get polish on my
cuticles & then when I got it on there, I couldnt get it off :(
So ignore the nasty mess on my cuticles still check it;



What do you ladies think?
Have you tried water marbling??
I think im going to try to practice more
because they can look pretty good.


That is all I have for you lovelies today!

Day 19-Galaxy Nails

Good Morning Ladies!!
I cannot believe we are 19 days into this challange & I have been
so inlove with this challenge, I dont really want it to end, but I also
kind of want a break so I can do my own thing & then maybe I
will start another week challenge or something because come Feb.
im going to be very busy because school starts for me then again.
BLAH. Anyways today is galaxy nails, first things first, I had no
idea even where to start doing these galaxy nails, so I just youtube
tutorials & bam I figured it out ahah!! I used a shittonnee of colors
& dont want to list every single one, so I will basically tell you the jist.
I started with a black polish, went buck & sponged the nebula, I think
that is what it is,put some white dots, threw some gorgeous cult nails
clairvoyant on top, then some chg fairy dust, & WHABAMMM turn
my nails into a galaxy of stars, flakies & glitter.






What do you ladies think?
Are you a fan of galaxy nails?
I will probably never do galaxy nails again
I really dont think I like them that much!


That is all I have for you lovelies today!

Day 18-Half Moon Nails

Morning Ladies;
Last night I went & seen we bought a zoo; OMG it was such
a good movie. definately a new favourite, next to in time. Todays
nail challenge is half moons, I just want to say I do LOVE the
half moon style, but have only attempted it once before so these
could have been much better, but I wanted to practice my free
handing :) I think they turned out decent. I do LOVE the colors
that I chose for todays challenge, I picked the brand NOX, I
think it was from their twilight collection, because it does say
twilight on the back ahaha! & the color is in Sangria, which
is exactly what it is a deep vampy red wine color, absolutely
gorgeous. I am SO into the vampy reds right now, they are
so nice! Then for the moons I used Sally Hansen hard as nails
xtreme wear in the color Celeb City. I wasnt fully satisfied
so I decided to mattify my nails with some rock n republic
by essie clearly matte polish, & BOOM beauty was born.




What do u ladies think?
I absolutely adore this crest on the front of the bottle!
Are you into dark vampy red polish?
Or half moon nails?

That is all I have for you lovelies today!

Day 17-Glitter Nails

Morning Ladies;
Remember how yesterday I said I had a toothache. Well if
you follow me on twitter you would know the ache is actually
a dead nerve in my front tooth, & I have to get a root canal
on the 24th :( I am not happy, but hopefully a rootcanal will
make the tooth not hurt me anymore. But todays challenge
makes me much happier than getting a root canal does,
because its GLITTER NAILS :D ugh, I wanted to do
everything I wanted to wear ever glitter that I own, but I
dont have enough nails! I recently bought some Nails Inc
from sephora, I spent a pretty penny on these polishes &
havent used them until today & OMG these are beautiful, I
dont know why I held off wearing these for so long. WOW.
The colors I have from nails inc are bloomsbury square &
connaught square, they are 3D glitters from their special
effects line. & I did some Orlys Tiara on the tips. Just
take a look at this beautifulness that it on my nails.




OMG SO GLITTERY & BEAUTIFUL!
connaught square is mostly blue glitter with a hint of purple glitter
& bloomsbury square is a gorgeous purple glitter with a hint of a dark pink.
these polishes are beautiful.

What do you ladies think??

That is all the beautifulness for today!

Day 16-Tribal Nails

Morning Ladies.
Its monday again :( I had the worst toothache all day yesterday
so I hope it goes away today. We are offically over half way
through this challenge, & its amazing how much this challenge has
let me grow & how much I have learned. So today is tribal nails.
I have never been into the tribal trend, its really not my style,
so I googled some images, & took a few & put them together.
I didnt use glitter today, I think something must be wrong with
me. ahaha. I used China glazes White on White as my base,
then a black nail art pen, with some Orly Fancy Fuschsia &
Juleps Anne. Its not the tradional neutral colored tribal pattern,
but I think the last couple days I did enough neutral nails, so I
wanted to make up for it today & just go as bright as I could :D




What do you ladies think?
Are you a fan of tribal print??

Day 15-Delicate Nails

Morning Ladies.
Almost monday, BLAH. So today is delicate nails.This
challenge day is probably the most vague out of all of them.
I had a few idea, but none that I really liked, & then I decided
to look at my stamping plate, since im a PRO stamper now.
& found one that fit the `delicate` theme pretty good :)
I used Essies Topless & Barefoot & stamped it with my
BM19 plate using OPIs Designer De Better. I think
it`s pretty delicate, because its pretty neutral.
It was pretty hard to get good pictures of it, but I did
my best!! Check it out!







What do you ladies think?
What do you think delicate nails mean ??
Also what do u think about the new tabs on the blog,
what other tabs would you like to see??

Day 14-Flower Nails

Morning Ladies
hope you all had a safe friday night :D My boyfriend
& I went to a hockey game, it was alot of fun!!
Today is Flower Nails! I got so excited to do these
because I ordered these little flower decals from Viva
La Nails, if you are curious about them check here.
I knew I wanted to use these flowers for my mani today
but I couldnt figure out how to incorporate them!
So like ive been doing lately I just let my mind run
buck wild & came up with something I am very
very please with! I used Chanels Particulere. A few
nights ago we were all talking about polishes & I
started talking about expensive polishes & I honestly
forgot I had this beauty in my collection because I have
never worn it before, bad lindsay. But I put it on &
INSTANTLY fell in love. It is like a muddy taupe purple
brown polish, honestly if you are thinking about forking out
for a nice polish, you definately need this one! Then I stamped
it with my BM Plate 12 & im starting to be a fan of stamping,
the more practice the better im seeming to get :D Then
the gold flowers looked a bit out of place & since I was
inspired by Adri's polka dot nails, I put pieces of SOPIs
Only gold for me topcoat, which I am obsessed with, in
the middle of the flower & WOW. Its amazing.
Just look;






Im really getting good at these challenges!!
What do you ladies think?
