31DC - Inspired by a Book!

I'm not a big reader. Not at all. The only books in my house are a few horror novels, a buttload of Formula 1 books, and a Skyrim guide book. So I was totally lost with this prompt... until I saw a reference to one of my favourite books as a kid.

Where's Wally? (or Waldo for some!) My lines are messy as hell, and my fingers are still stained blue (damn you hair!), but I love this. One of my fave manis in this challenge so far!

Until Next Time,

31DC - Inspired by a Movie!

I did this mani in about 10 minutes tonight, was lacking inspiration for an idea so I did my "fall back" nail art - Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I used Ulta3 Black Satin and Lily White. I made the pinstripes sheer and messy, as I feel it suits Jack more than crisp, clean lines.

Also, please please please ignore the odd blue tinge to my hand, I've just redyed my hair, and blue dye gets EVERYWHERE!

Until Next Time,

31DC - Inspired by a song!

I TOTALLY ran out of time to get any nail art done today, so I'm cheating today. I just have a swatch of a polish I've shown before, that's named after a song.

Gloss n Sparkle Pink Cigarette (song by Mr Bungle). Still a great song, still an amazing polish!

I promise I won't cheat again for the rest of the challenge!

Until Next Time,

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!

Until Next Time,

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...

Until Next Time,

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,
