31DC - Black and White!

I'm not sure why, but the Black and White prompt scared me a little. It's a bit limited, so to try and think of something was a bit hard! But, I thought about it for a bit, and almost recreated my BlogFest mani, but remembered how fiddly it was and thought NOPE. I did use the Nail Vinyls anyway!

I used Ult3 Black Satin and BYS French White. Simple but I like it. I wore this mani for a day afterwards.

Until Next Time,

31DC - Violet/Purple

I think Day 6's prompt, "Violet" should just be renamed Purple, because Violet is a bit...specific. Regardless, I LOVE purples, and especially the two I used for this mani!

On my index and pinky fingers, I used Color Club Pucci-Licious and for the middle and ring fingers, as well as the glitter placement, I used Gloss n Sparkles One Step Beyond. I cannot recommend this polish enough! I adore it!

31DC - Blue!

I love a good blue polish, and more than any other, cobalt blues. So for day 4 of the 31 day challenge, a good cobalt blue had to come out. Cue Sea Siren Ultramarine.  SUCH a good colour! ]

I paired this with Gloss n Sparkle Tonality, and picked out some silver holo dots from an unnamed polish. Simple, cute, blue ;)

31DC - Green!

My favourite colour! Funny story about todays mani - it matches my pedi! I had a bit of a brain freeze when thinking about what to do, looked down and Bam! Idea. The only difference is, my big toe is the accent nail.

I used Illamasqua Omen and Nail Vinyls for this look. I love this green, it's UV reactive too!

I've been having so much fun with this challenge so far!

Until Next Time,

31DC - Yellow!

Yellow is one of those colours that just does not look good on my skin tone, no matter what shade. But, nothing says yellow like Orly Glowstick, the brightest yellow EVER.

I decided to try a technique I've not tried yet, nor do I know what it's called! All I know is you wipe as much polish as possible off the brush and brush it onto the nail lightly. I did it over a white base and used a standard black polish and Glowstick to make the effect, and then I matted the whole mani with Sea Sirens Sea Matte.

31DC - Orange!

Day 2 is orange. I LOVE me some orange polishes, and again, I used one of my favourites - OPI Jinx. A gorgeous orange texture, with golden shimmer. I was originally going to do a textured gradient, but accidentally ended up with this, which I absolutely love!

2 coats of Jinx, which I then topped with a thin coat of China Glaze I'm Not Lion. This is so sparkly I couldn't get it to photograph properly but this is pretty amazing.

Simple, but sparkly, and that is day 2!

Until Next Time,

31 Day Chalenge 2014 - Red!

Considering I rarely blog these days, I myself think I'm crazy, but here we are, day 1 of the 31 day challenge! I don't have time daily to do the manis, so I spent my Sunday doing up days 1-8 in advance!

Day 1 is Red. So, I pulled out my favourite (and sadly, discontinued) red, Ozotic 518, and added Ozotic 526 (again, discontinued - sorry!) and did a drag marble.

It could have turned out better, but I like it. I love these two polishes together!

So, that's day 1, and I cannot wait to show you day 2!

Until Next Time,
