Day 9: Inspired by your location

So this was inspired by your location. 

I did my bedroom!

My walls are a light lavender color. On part of the wall, I have a cherry blossom tree decal in deep violet purple and dark brown. 

So on my nails I have attempted to re-create that look. 

My base was Finger Paint's Silver Sculpture. The flowers were Sally Hansen Diamond Strength's All Aglow. The branches and bird like thing was Orly's Buried Alive.

Day 6: Animal

Ah! Sorry for posting so late!!

So today is animal day! I couldn't get inspired by any animal really... so instead I just copied an oldie but goody from the last 31 day challenge. I did the leopard spots again but using a blue theme.

So on to the colors! I used Orly's Aspen as my base. The spots were Sation's Blue Suede and Finger Paint's Black Expressionism.

Day 5: Cartoon Theme

So for today's challenge, I did my most favorite anime/cartoon ever.

SAILOR MOON!

I love love love Sailor Moon. She was and still is my idol growing up. I love her more in the books than the anime because the anime does not show great character development. Naoko Takeuchi shows Sailor Moon mature gracefully with each novel. Although, the anime did have some good moments. HERE is a link to one of my favorite Sailor Moon movies.

Anyway, on to my nails. I used a lot of colors. So I'll start with the picture first.

Nail Art: Veteran's Day

Omg! It has been almost a whole week since I last posted. I am sooo sorry! School and work have been piling up like crazy.

Anyway, on to my nails.

It is a little late, but these are my Veteran's Day nails. I used Island Girl's Pineapple Plantation as my base and for the stars. I used Orly's Royal Navy for the flag part and Sinful Colors Nail Art's My Day for the stripes.

A little way to show some support to the veterans.

SWATCH: Orly Oui

Evening everyone!

Sorry for such a late post, but I've been stressing this week on school things. I'm trying to come up with a regular posting schedule. If not everyday, I'm thinking maybe Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. If you you guys like this schedule, then it will definitely be permanent after Thanksgiving!

Anyway, on to my nails!

This has got to be one of my favorite colors from my whole stash! It is Orly Oui. I believe it was a part of Orly's Holiday line of 2010. However, I have seen it at the Ulta Beauty stores recently! This is a plum purple with gold and iridescent shimmers! Click read more to see!

Day 28: Inspired by a Flag

So here is a forewarning. My nails are a little chippy today. I forgot to take a picture of hem before I carved my pumpkins.

Oh well.

Anyway...On to my nails. I used a lot of colors. Island Girl's Island Plantation and Big Island Volcano, Orly's Royal Navy, Hard Candy's Fishnet, Wet N Wild's SaGreena the Teenage Witch,Sally Hansen's Extreme Wear's Mellow Yellow, Sinful Color's Cinderella, and Sinful Colors Nail Art's My Day, Orange Alert, and Time Off.



I couldn't decide which flag to do, so all I 10 different flags!

Day 27: Inspired by Artwork

So today is inspired by artwork.

I was going to do Monet's Water Lilies or Van Gogh's Starry Night, but I'm running short on time. So instead I did a Mondrian. 

I used Island Girl's Pineapple Plantation as my base. I don't know if you can tell, but this is my favorite white. For the black lines I used Sinful Colors Nail Art's Time Off. for the colors I used Sally Hansen Extreme Wear's Mellow Yellow, Essie's E! Live From The Red Carpet, and Orly's Royal Navy.

Day 26: Inspired by a Pattern

There are only 5 more days left in the challenge!

So this morning I woke up to comments and more followers today. I'm so overjoyed! It's so much fun when I can talk to other people about this nail polish obsession.
Anyway, my pattern inspiration is a paisley type of pattern. I had the perfect Konad stamping pattern for it. I used Orly's Passion Fruit as my base. I used Konad's white stamping polish and plate m64.

Day 22: Inspired by a Song

So today my song of inspiration was The Cuppycake Song.

You can listen to it here.

Cute, huh? This song is my best friends and my theme song! So anyway, for my base I used Sinful Colors's Cinderella. For the stripes I used Sinful Colors Nail Art's Fun Times and A Slice to go. For this cupcake wrapper I used Bizzare Blurple. The Icing was Island Girl's Pineapple Plantation. The sprinkles was Nicolreby OPI's My Lifesaver and the heart was Orly's Passion Fruit.

Day 18: Half Moons

Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight. Never running from a real fight. She is the one called Sailor Moon!

Haha. Okay serious now folks. Today is half moons day and as I type this I am falling asleep. I am so tired from school today. I will probably take a little nap before dinner after I write this. Anyway, I used OPI DS Coronation as my base. With the help of binder re-enforcers I made my half moons with Orly's Smolder.

I think the overall color combination and design gives it a mature, old Hollywood, glamour kind of look.

This manicure came out really pretty considering that I did it right before school. 

I love it. Its so simple yet really elegant. Well see you tomorrow for galaxies. It'll be my first time doing the manicure. I hope it come out alright.

Wish me luck!

Day 14: Flowers

So this post today will be quick.

I did this manicure in a few minutes because my family and I went persimmon picking. Anyway, I used SATION's Lemon Pearl for the french tip and Orly's Royal Navy for the flowers and Island Girl's Pineapple Plantation for the middle.

The flowers weren't as nice as I had wanted them to be, but it had to do. I did them in Chargers colors because I thought there was a game tonight; turns out the game is tomorrow night. Whoops. Oh well.

Overall, I thought the design was cute and simple. 

Well, I'm beat from picking fruit and things so have a nice night everyone and see you tomorrow for delicat print!

Nail Supply House, L.A.

So yesterday I visited the Nail Supply House in Los Angeles.

Oh my goodness! I don't think I've ever seen so much nail polish in one place. OPI, ORLY, and China Glaze oh my! The front of the store was covered in nail polishes.

I walked in and I was amazed. Honestly, I didn't know where to focus my eyes.

Beware: This post is picture heavy.

Do you see this? The walls were lined with polishes and there were boxes filled with more!

China Glaze is $2.75!! That is a super awesome thing!

 And look at all that Orly! Isn't it beautiful?

They were some other gems that I didn't get to take a picture of. Essie is about $4 and OPI is around $5 with the Designer Series at $8. There were more, but I can't recall much probably because the fumes in that store were so strong.

When I finally left the store an hour later I made out with 28 bottle of nail polishes and some other things. I was broke when I left, but I was happy.

 Aren't they so pretty? I love them. They make me smile. :)

Day 5: Blue

It is blue today!

Today I decided to keep it simple since I had to read some stuff for classes today. Blue is such a lovely color. It's the sky, and the ocean, and sometimes the eyes of some very lovely people in my life. Today I used my favorite blue in my stash. Its Orly's Royal Navy. This blue is just so blue!

I don't think my dinky camera does this blue justice. Isn't amazing? I just looove this blue. There are tiny aqua, green-ish sparkles in there that just give this blue a lot of depth. 

So this is blue. I love it. I really do. If you guys don't have it already then you should definitely pick it up.

I'm waaay excited for purple tomorrow! Its my favorite color. 

See you then!
