31 Day Challenge: Day 14

Today's 'challenge' is FLOWERS. I originally wanted to do a water marble flower design, but I decided against it, and went with fimo rods. I chose five sticks (my thumb is not pictured) and did a plain french tip with glitter, and stuck them on where they looked nicest. Here's the results:

I used one coat of ChG Innocence, did my tip with the Stripe Rite, then two coats of OPI DS Coronation, and finally a coat of Seche. :)

Please excuse the gross cuticles, winter wind does a number on my skin. My favorites were my pinkie and ring fingers, the blue flower and the orange flower. 

To be honest, the fimo came off as soon as I took the pictures. They were curling up, and the top coat was doing nothing to keep them on, so I tore them off, thus ruining my manicure, and making me sad. I've already done the delicate print manicure, and I loove it! I think it's my favorite of the challenge so far. I'm really proud of it. 

Well, I'll leave you to wonder about the mysteries tomorrow holds. 

Thanks for reading!

Guest Post: Nina Ultra Pro Purple X-ing

The other night my mom asked me to paint her toes purple, and I immediately thought of this. This is such a cool purple. My pictures don't really show it well, but it's a shimmery purple base that's got a ton of holographic glitter. It's so cool in real life! I got mine from Sally's Beauty Supply.

Hello! 

This is my second post tonight and I am feeling pretty good! Today is Day 6, VIOLET nails, and I chose an oldie, but goodie: China Glaze IDK:

:) I love holos! They are super pretty. Although it is storming at the moment and I probably wont be able to fully enjoy this, I still like it. This is from the OMG! collection and in my opinion it's one of the better ones. The light holos look better to me. They seem to show up more... This was two coats and topcoat. Sorry for the strange pictures but I was trying to get different angles to show more of the shimmer. See you tomorrow, (I promise this time!)

Thanks for reading!
