31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 18-Half Moons
Half moons! I was so glad for this day. I really dig half moons. Plus they're so simple. Fantastic. I didn't get very creative though. I had taken off the glitter nails right after I took the pictures because I didn't want to be scrubbing for ages the next day, so I tried out a color I'd been eyeing for a while. And loved it. A lot. Until I added the half moon part for the day's challenge. Then it was just 'eh.' But it was great the day it lasted. Anyways, half moons:

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 3- Yellow
Sorry this post is a day late. I had the pictures uploaded and everything, I just never got around to editing them! Yesterday was a day highly saturated with procrastination (which was unfortunate for both this blog, and writing- any other Camp NaNo-ers out there?).
Now, yellow. Yellow is not a color that really suits me, and I don't have a single yellow polish. I had a really bright orange-y yellow polish that I was going to use and add a layer of a sheer white over, in the hopes of a miracle, but I couldn't get it opened. So I brought out some paint and had a very vague idea in my head that completely failed once I put brush to nail. I had hoped to do an intricate-y looking pattern of swirls in a dark brown on the yellow, but instead, trees. Trees happened. I don't know how or why but once I started to do a swirl, it turned into a branch. But I kinda liked it and there wasn't any going back, so I went with it.
