Day 15: Delicate Print

 So today is delicate print nails.... I didn't have any ideas except for nail stamping. I really liked the look of the image on the stamping plate.... but I can never get the whole image to transfer onto the entire nail of my longer nails.... But I think if you ignore that, it looks cute :)

 

 I started out with 2 coats of  L'Oreal "Walk On The Beach" which is a nude color. I don't think there is really anything special about it, it was my untried polish, but the application was great. It will probably go in my underwear drawer.... Not my actually underwear drawer... my nail polish underwear drawer :)

 

 I added 1 coat of Nubar "2010" which is your basic flakie polish. I just wanted to add a little something.

 

 For the stamping I used Sally Hansen "Frutti Petutie", which is also an untried.

 

 As you can see on my ring and pinky finger that the stamp wasn't large enough to cover the entire nail, plus it didn't transfer on some parts. I guess practice makes perfect.

 

Well there you have it. Those are my delicate print nails. Tomorrow is tribal print, and I have no clue what to do for that :( Google search and Pintrest here I come. So check back tomorrow to see how that turns out.

Day 14: Flowers

 Flowers is the theme for today. I was going to do some stamping.... but I decided to try out some freehand and dotting. I guess it turned out ok....

 

 lol yeh, those are my goofy looking flowers. I started out with 2 coats of Barry M "Spring Green" on my ring finger I used some flower shaped "glitters" that I bought from the dollar store as the accent nail.

 

 For the flowers I used a dotting tool to make the "petals" of the flowers. I used Color Mates "Metallic Venom" and...

 

 Color Mates "Look At Me!"

 

 I used a couple of stripers from the dollar store to create the center of the flowers and the flower stems and leaves.

 

 To finish it all up I dabbed on some Orly "Monster Mash" from some grass:)

 

So there you have it... my little flowers.

 

Thanks for reading and check back tomorrow for my delicate print nails :) And remember to check out the other ladies below....

Day 13 - Animal Print

 I'm trying to get better with nail stamping so I figured this would be a good chance to practice.

 

 I started with 2 coats of China Glaze "Desert Sun" which is a beautiful butterscotch color. I can't remember if I've used it before or not, so I'm counting this as an untried. hehe...

 

 I added a little of glitter since you always need a little sparkle :) I didn't wanted to put it on the whole nail since it is suppose to be an animal print. I figured a little glitter would give the mani a little Bam! I used Spoiled "Pirate's Booty" It's a nice gold glitter with a little bit of red in it.

 

 

 I used China Glaze "Liquid Leather" for the stamping. The stamping it's the best, but I love how it turned out and when I look at it I think of a cheetah running after it's prey in the bright sun.

 

 

 

I just have to keep practicing my stamping. It can only get better right :)

 

Well that's my animal print mani for today. Check back tomorrow for the next installment of the 30 Day Challenge, which is flowers... which will probably include another round of stamping for me :)

 

Thanks for reading and make sure to check all of the other wonderful ladies participating in this challenge.

 

 

Day 12: Stripes

 It's Breakfast At Tiffany's today. It's stripes day. What I had originally had planned for this mani ended up becoming something totally different.

 

 I started out with 2 coats of Finger Paints "Tiffany Imposter", which is my untried polish, but after looking at it I decided to make it look like a Tiffany's box. I've never shopped there or even looked at anything there, but I knew that their boxes were kind of an icon.

 

 I used a striper that I picked up at Sally's Beauty for a buck on clearance. It doesn't have a name. It's like a satin white, and I thought it would be perfect for ribbon. I didn't want all the nails to look the same so I switched up the directions of the lines.

 

 I added some light blue rhinestones to added a little something. I thought they made the mani look a lot nicer. I know it's a pretty simple mani, but I still like it.

 

Well that's it for today. Check back tomorrow for animal print nails, and check out the other mani's the ladies have done below.

 

Day 11: Polka Dots

Today I have a polka dot mani for you, or as I always say "pokie dot" hehe This is actually a mani I've been wanting to do for awhile, so this was the push I needed to finally do it.

 

 I stated with 2 coats of one of my favorite greens, China Glaze "I'm With The Lifeguard" I love that it's neon and it is opaque without a need of underwear.

 

 For the polka dots I used OPI "Every Month Is Oktoberfest" from the current Germany Collection, and is my untried. I love that it's a deep dark purple and it's noticeable purple and not black in person.

 

 I used 3 different sizes dotting tools. I started out by using the largest dotting tool to kinda make a french tip on all nails and then using the largest and the other two sizes to kind of make a falling effect with the dots.

 

 

 

I really love how this mani turned out and I wish I would have done it sooner. I plan on doing this again using different colors. I almost don't want to take it off, but I am doing a challenge so it has to come off tonight to make way for my stripe mani.

 

Thank you for reading and please keep checking back for the rest of the 30 day challenge. Also check out the other ladies below :)
