February Nail Art Challenge- Pastel & Hearts

So I may have combined two days into one look. And completely skipped "XOXO". But I think it was worth it. It is the "I have a life challenge " right? (Though maybe it should be the "lol loopholes" challenge.) 

Pastel tie-dye ggradient background using Revlon Charmed (lavender), Minted (mint, obviously), NYC Skyline Blue, and Sinful Colors Unicorn (yellow), and Soul Mate (pink) mixed with white. The stamping plate was actually from the brand Fing'rs and can be found  

at Walmart for about $6-7. 10/10 would stamp again. 

And here we see some super dry grandma fingers. Oops. 

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 29-Inspired by the Supernatural

Oh man. I can't even tell you how much I had to contemplate the design for today's challenge. I was at a complete loss, and I was about to give in and do some simple ghosts, or some skulls (though I wasn't sure if the technically counted as 'supernatural'?) when it came to me. Zombies! I'd done zombie look around last Halloween and absolutely loved it. I did basically the same thing, but with a different background.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 14-Flowers

Flowers are always a nice design, especially when it comes to nail art. But floral prints can be so overdone, you know? For today I decided to do something simple, but effective. I'd had it in my mind a while now, and I'm fairly pleased with how it came out with.

I painted some tulips on my nails with a minty green background. The stems and grass look really really dark, unfortunately, but the green I was using wasn't as bright as I'd thought it would be. I'm glad with how bright the actual flower part is though. I think this would look nice with a white background and some yellow and pink tulips too. It'd be nice in spring instead of the usual floral prints.

These were freehanded with some acrylic paint. They're clearly not the most amazing tulips ever painted, but, hey, they're at least identifiable, right? I hope so. 

Colors Used:

Minted, Revlon

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 10-Gradient

Gradients. Oh how I love gradients. I was super excited for this day because gradients are like the best things ever (okay not really, but they're nice and simple and so easy to do but still look so nice especially with the right colors).

Legend of Korra Season Finale Nails!

So you may or may not know that the season finale of the show Legend of Korra is tomorrow. If not, well, there you go! I happen to be a big fan and so the idea struck me as I was thinking of what to do with my nails. On the left hand I have the Equalists (the "bad guys," for those who don't watch the show) and on the right hand is Team Avatar/The Krew (the "good guys"). The pictures are terrible. I couldn't get a cooperative picture and the lighting was horrible, so bear with me. They look a lot better in person, but, obviously, I can't put my real nails on here. I don't even know how that would begin to work.
