February Nail Art Challenge-Triple Threat

One last loophole post. I combined day "floral" and "studs" because they worked so well together.  And it matched my outfit coincidentally, so bam, three days in one. Maybe it's "cheating" maybe it was just fate.
See, the floral and studs ccomplete each other. Plus the glitter made a nice accent. It took me so long to decide what to do on those three nails. I almost did stripes in defeat, but thenit came to me. GLITTER. Always the right answer.  
The green is Sinful Colors Mint Apple. This color you guys. It's amazing. Formula can be a bit draggy but otherwise, it's flawless. The glitters are Sally Hansen Glitter Gun and Razzle Dazzle. I hate that those glitters were LE but I *really* hate the bar glitters. You see that sole black bar glitter on my pinkie? HATE IT. I know some of you probably love them, but ugh. Bar glitter.

 The floral nails had a base of OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons and the flowers are Sinful Colors Aubergine and Soul Mate. Easy Going (pictured above) was used for swirling the petals. And lastly the green is Color Club Artsy Craftsy.
Totally coincidental ootd.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 28-Inspired by a Flag

I had honestly no idea what flag I wanted to do up until about noon. I kinda just gave up and it ended up working better than expected.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 17-Glitter

Ahh, glitter. Your best friend that stabs you in the back. That's not harsh. That's words from anyone taking off glitter nail polish. When I first read the day's challenge, I was excited. Then immediately apprehensive. Glitter nail polish is awesome. It's gorgeous. But it adheres to nails like super glue. A common complaint, but not at all a hyperbole.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 16-Tribal

Right. Tribal. Tribal nails are nice, fun, creative. I used to do a good deal of tribal nails. I tried to do a popular design I'd been seeing around lately (though it's arguably more 'Aztec'? I think so anyway). It uses a striper brush though, which I don't have, so I did my best with the regular polish brush. Enough rambling? I'd say.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 4-Green

Green was an interesting day for me. I have a scarce amount of green polishes (I think my collection is about half just blues and purples) so it was about as difficult as yellow's day to come up with something. At first, I tried to do a lime green (which actually was more on the yellow side, go figure) with black and blue crackles over it, but it turned out so horribly I could not bare to let it slide. So instead, I took a look at my polishes and said: I am going to try out some fish scales!

4th of July Nails

For the 4th of July, I have some nails to celebrate the American Independence day! I know it's kind of a location-specific design, if you know what I mean, but I hope you'll enjoy them anyway.
