New 30 Day challenge! Day 1 OPI DS GLAMOUR!!!

Hello Ladies I am back with another 30 Day challenge that was circling around the net and the image was made by my polish buddies on Facebook. This one is a little simpler then the last one since its not all about nail art and you can interpret it any way you like. I will be going on my own pace since the last one was a little crazy and I cant post everyday so I always falling behind. If you would like to participate please feel free to do so the more the merrier :-)



Day 1 is your Favorite polish and my favorite is OPI DS Glamour! This has been my favorite since before I had it lol.. I use to see pictures of it and drool thinking that it would never be mine. But my Polish bestie Jennifer came through for me and found 2 so we bought it for each other :-). It is soo beautiful and applied beautifully in 2 coats!





I absolutely love this color and it will be my favorite color of all time! I think I need a back up bottle because I want to always have it on. What is your favorite polish?

That is pretty much everything I bought last month might have missed a polish or two but they must have not been very memorable to have added them in here lol.. I killed a bunch of huge lemmings like DS glamour, Nubar reclaim, OPI SRO and Opening night gold. I never thought I would own theses beauties but I searched high and low and managed to finally get them. Sorry I wasn't specific on names of polishes but its alot to name so if you have a question about and polish, a shop or prices feel free to ask. With so many new polishes its hard picking what to use first so I needed a little help anything you ladies wanna see?

30 day challenge.. Day 23-25

This challenge is now starting to get very interesting Ive been able to do alot of different nail art because of this challenge. These past couple of days Ive been mixing a matching different things like water decal, acrylic molds and free hand.

Day 23 mani inspired by a movie. I am a big kids a love watching cartoon movies and the movie I love and have watched a bunch of time is UP. Kevin is my favorite!



Day 24 mani inspired by a book.  I like to read Urban erotica so I picked a book I read recently Candy Licker by Noire.



Day 25 mani inspired by Fashion. I could not find a cool outfit that inspired me but I did find a bag. I have a thing for purses and my dream purse is of course a Louis Vuitton.



 That's it for today I have 5 day left in this challenge and I'm kinda sad that is coming to an end because it has been so fun and its inspired me to do some really cool manis.

Day 22 mani inspired by a song

I was really excited about this one because I love music and music videos are always very inspiring. I knew the video had to be from from Jessie J because her videos are so cool and have so much stuff going on. I finally decided on one Jessie J- Price tag.





And this is what I seen in the video that gave me the inspiration to this mani. Of course you have to have the price tag and for the other design was to match her outfit. 


 
Im pretty content with this mani just wish the price tag would have been a little neater. This is now one of my favorite songs.

Day 21 Mani inspired by a Color

Today I was searching for the Wet N Wild On the prowl collection when I seen this beautiful scarf and I just love the color and I went home without the scarf because I was broke so next best thing was to go home an paint my nails that same color. It was pretty hard since I forgot to get a picture of it but I managed to find a similar color OPI I eat mainely lobster. It went on smooth in 2 coats I was unable to capture the gold shimmer in it.





I love this color! I always fall in love with pink with a gold shimmer in. What color can you not resist to buy and wear no matter how many you have?

30 day challenge.. Day 18-20

Hello Ladies Ive been playing catch up with my 30 day challenge mani's since I started work again but Ive managed to get myself caught up. I have my manis for the past 3 days.

Half moon- I had a hard time with this one because I wanted to do a glossy bright pink and a matte black. I did 3 coats of Essie Punchy Pink with top coat and used binder paper reinforcements to create the half moon with Orly Matte vinyl. In this process I messed up my middle finger so I'm just not going to show it lol.. (not flipping you the bird)


Galaxies- For this one I kept it simple and just used a bunch of different glitters and hope that they would look like a bunch of planets and stars. 2 coats of Lippmanns Bad Romance, 1 coats of sinful colors hottie and China Glaze Techno.





Water Marbled- I am horrible at water marbling I can never get the polish to spread, do a design and actually re-create it on every nail. So I look to Youtube and seen a video of someone doing a water marbling design over a gradient of colors while using black and a translucent white. I used polishes from China Glaze poolside collection and a black and white polish. 




I liked my galaxy mani the best out of all the other were just a mess and it was also that I didn't take my time on them.
