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. 

Facebook

Just a quick post tonight guys. I've just created a Facebook page for this blog which you can find here. Feel free to like, comment or post any of your own nail art on to the page I love checking out new stuff!

DS Mystery

I made another clearance score the other day and came away with OPI DS Mystery which has long been on my list of must haves and I just about died when I saw it on the shelf. It's not one of the crazy expensive DS polish out there but I don't really like ordering polish online since I'm too impatient to wait for the damn package to arrive. My poor harassed mail man can attested to that. Anyways I finally got the hang of these glitters from Born Pretty Store, thanks to The Nailasaurus this woman and this tutorial are genius!! 

These pictures are pre-filing so next round of pictures these bad boys are going to look like little square chiclets which I must say I like. Until next time people I've got moving to do.
