31DC - Inspired by a Colour!

I never understood this day, it's almost like a repeat of the first 7 days of the challenge... so I did my own thing and chose a colourful polish that I love. So, this mani is totally inspired by a certain polish - Gloss n Sparkles Land of Sunshine.

I've layered one coat over white, and my accent nail is a graffiti style mash up using Essie Butler Please, Sea Siren Sailaway Heather, and Color Club Twiggie. Land of Sunshine is a must have for those that love eye catching glitters!

31DC - Watermarble!

Majority of 31dc'ers dreaded today, and I was one of them. I don't watermarble nearly enough to be fantastic at it, but I can pull of an OK one. And that's pretty much what I did today. Some people get all funky and creative, I went for subtle.

I used Face Of Australia Travilla and Color Club Worth The Risque. Nude and holo. Good mix! I ended up doing all four fingers shown in one marble (I have no idea what to say, I dunked them all in the same pattern at once) and I like the results. Mind you, I tried at LEAST 6 combos before this one. I need to marble more :/

I'm glad that's done!

31DC - Galaxy!

I love a good galaxy mani, but I definitely do not do them enough! So I was excited to do one again today, and I only used a tiny 6 polishes!

My base is OPI Ink, and then, in order, I sponged on Dollish Polish Northern Lights, China Glaze OMG A UFO, Zoya Blu and then Gloss n Sparkle Spectrum for a multi coloured sparkle. My 'stars' are done with Sea Siren Tranquility. I was 10435574676858% unsure of how this combo of polishes worked out, but I LOVED it!

Tomorrow is watermarble day. Oh dear...

31DC - Half Moons!

I don't do a lot of half-moon manis. Mostly because I have to freehand them, and I am not good at that. I was searching for a good colour combo for this, and pulled out two Color Club polishes I haven't used in a long time - Revvvolution and Love Em Leave Em.

Neutral holo goodness! I ended up loving this one.

Until Next Time,

31DC - Glitter!

Glittaaaaaaaah! I love me some glitter, and Aussie Indies do it better than anyone else. This particular glitter is a special one, because it was a part of the What's In-die Box? a month or two ago. I didn't buy the box, but was gifted this stunner by a very lovely friend.

Gloss 'n Sparkle Beetlejuice. It has back, white, purple and holo glitter in a clear base. I used one coat over Ulta3 Tahiti, Sea Siren Mojito Madness and Illamasqua Stance, and on my ring finer, 2 coats alone. It's SUPER packed with glitter, crazy sparkly and soooo easy to apply. I am in LOVE. The reasoning for my undie colour combo is basically, I couldn't choose which of the 3 I wanted to use, so I used all of them!

Until Next  Time,

31DC - Geometric!

Geometric is a weird one. So I took it a bit weird. My mani today is an obscure one, but I love it! It's a Porygon mani!

For those unaware, Porygon is a Pokemon. Notably famous for having one episode about it, an then that episode NEVER being shown because it caused children to have seizures!

For my mani, I used different parts of Porygon for each finger, and used Sally Hansen I Pink I Can and a BYS Blue (called Blue, believe it or not). I loved this SO hard, until my top coat smudged it badly.

31DC - Delicate Print!

Delicate print. So not keen. Delicate and I have never got along, I'm more of a bull in a china shop. So, for this one, I cheated a little. I'll also be doing another Born Pretty Store review in this too.

When I think delicate, I think either nude or pastel colours. So Face of Australia Travilla is definitely perfect.

I used some water decals for 'delicacy' and then I piled on a bunch of rhinestones from this mixed stone wheel as an accent. The stones in this wheel are fantastic quality, and gorgeous, but HUGE. I didn't find them overbearing on the nail though.

If you want some some of these stones for yourself, or any other nail art goodies from Born Pretty, use my code for 10% off : AFL91

Until Next Time,
