31 Day Challenge- Day 4: Green

I decided to post these guys a day early since I posted so late for the Day 3 challenge. I'm loving this ruffian. I wasn't sure how a green on green "reverse ruffian" would look but the shades are so different that I rather like it. 

Here I'm using OPI Jade is the New Black for the base, and OPI Stranger Tides for the oval design. I planed on adding little four leaf clovers this the next day but since I'm in the middle of ripping out my kitchen counters, these guys didn't last long enough to bother. Anyone every do any kitchen remodeling? Boy it is tiring stuff! 

Blue Wednesday is coming up so stick around:

31 Day Challenge- Day 3: Yellow

The thing about this challenge that I will even come to love or hate is that when you have not choice but to crank out a manicure you may have to do something you wouldn't normally wear. Enter in these yellow daisy nails. Don't get me wrong I like flowers just as much as the next girl but until today I've yet to wear them on my nails. That being said, I happen to think these guys are dang cute. 

The colors I used are Revlon Electric for the flower petals, OPI Wooden Shoe Like to Know? for the flower Centers, and Love and Beauty Blue/Mulit for the base. So far I've only used untried polishes for this challenge, so I'll let you know if that continues are not. 

Next is green so stay tuned: 

31 Day Challenge- Day 2: Orange

For day number two I used OPI Are We There Yet which is a really gorges orange with a shimmery base. This is yet another color I had not got around to trying which is crazy because I really love it. 

Even though the orange is a really lovely shade I was bored so I just kind of kept building it up. First with Art Deco's black striping brush. Here I just kind of add random lines and dots to spice up a couple nails. Then once that dried I used Milani's Art of Silver striping brush and traced over the black. 

Finally I added a final accent line here and there with Art Deco's White striping brush. I happen to think the white was over kill but I barely wore these guys for a day so I let it slide, this time :)  

See you tomorrow folks: 

Day 1- 31 Day Challenge

To get the ball rolling on the 31 Day Challenge, I introduce my very first Jelly Sandwich. I have a love hate relationship with all of my glitter polishes so until now, I've never attempted this particular technique even though it's ridiculously popular. It also it ridiculously easy and ridiculously pretty. 

To create this effect, I used a OPI Love is a Racket, followed by a liberal layer of Milani Jewel FX Gems, and topped all that off with another layer of Love is a Racket. I've owned both of these colors for quite sometime but this is the first time I've ever got around to using them.

Here's the schedule of again: 

31 Day Challenge

That's right people! It's that time of year again when brave girls across the internet attempt to crank out 31 awesome manis in 31 days! Scared? Well don't because it's all for fun. This will be my first time around and I can't wait! I will admit to being a tad nervous because my schedule is so crazy right now but even if I don't make the 31 days I'll still stick to the categories selected.  

See you guys tomorrow!! 

Nerd loven'

Hey ladies, hope everyone is having a splendid week thus far. I like some of you find myself back in school so I'd like to share with you what I've been wearing the last two days. This oldy but goody might register to a few of you as Gorramit from the Firefly collection created by the late great Nerdlacquer. This is one of those special colors that speaks for itself. In a bold mustard yellow, Gorramit is jam packed with both fine and chunky glitter in orange and red. I've noticed in the polish community ladies seem a little scared of yellow but how can you not immediately fall in love with this shade? I personally think it's a warm enough color to complement any range of skin tones. 

I've been dying to stamp over this bad boy but do to lack of time I decided to complement this vibrant color with the equally fantastic Deutsch You Want Me Baby? from OPI's Germany collection followed by a thin coat of Orly's Shining Star. 

Paint Drips

While working at the new house today I remember a really fun post I saw a while back by Very Emily that would be so perfect for the remodeling we're doing right now. Miss Emily is a very talented girl from Belgium   who does lots of reviews, swatches and of course really spectacular nail art. Anyways the post I referring to tonight can be found here.

The colors I used are OPI My Very First Knockwurst, China Glaze First Mate and Essie Loophole. For some reason Loophole doesn't really translate well in these pictures, but it really makes the blobs pop off the base coat.
