31DC - Gradient!

I've a few gradients lined up in the next few days, including yesterday, and I somehow managed to make the actual gradient prompt the most boring of the lot!

I wanted to pair some polishes I've not worn in a while, so I rummaged and found A England Tess D'ubervilles and Gloss n' Sparkle The Huntress.

Because the base is so dark and shimmery, I matted it so you can see the glitters better. The base of The Huntress paired perfectly with Tess!

Until Next Time,

31DC - Rainbow!

Day 9 is Rainbow nails! I was almost tempted to do a watermarble, but then I remembered that they are evil. So I pulled out a buttload of sparkly, textured polishes and made a rainbow!

I used (in order) OPI Alcatraz Rocks! Julie G Sugar Plum Fairy, Sleigh Ride and Misteltoe, China Glaze I'm Not Lion, OPI Jinx, Rimmel Precious Stones Ruby Crush,  and China Glaze United.

No top coat on these make even the non textured polishes rough and gritty, therefore, perfect for this!

31DC - Metallic!

I don't have many "metallic" polishes, but when I want something crazy metallic, there's only one polish I reach for- Orly Dazzle. Such a stunning, pigmented silver.

However, just like yellows, this gives me lobster hands big time! Love it though. This mani was inspired by a Robin Moses tutorial, too. I love her work.

Until Next Time,

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 ;)

Until Next Time,

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,
