Duochrome Week: Day 2-Paying With Platinum

So I'm behind a day, but it's alright you know, I can catch up tomorrow. Just.. try not to expect too much promptness. But back to Duochrome Week! Today I have a polish that I've had for forever, but haven't tried because for some reason I thought that it wasn't going to look as good on the nail as it did in bottle. I don't know why I thought that, but for the longest time I did. And I regret that. Because it is amazing.

Duochrome Week! Day 1: China Glaze, Reggae to Riches

I have some very exciting news. As of this day, the third week of September, it is officially Duochrome Week. Why? Because duochromes are awesome and deserve their own week. It'll go from today (Monday) until Friday, featuring a different duochrome (obviously) each day. Should be fun!

We start off this marvelous week with a polish that my mom bought, actually. I've wanted to try it out for a while, but it's not a shade I really am fond of wearing. But I'd hear such excellent reviews of it, I just had to try it (and coincidentally, it's the polish that inspired Duochrome Week).

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 31-Recreate Your Favorite Challenge

Sooo this is a day late. Heh, my bad. I was actually out though, not just procrastinating (for once). It's September, man, how did that happen?!? I was not ready for September. But back to the challenge. This day... was kind of a boring theme. I really wanted to use a few new polishes, and they happened to both be purples, so I made some purple skittles! (Obviously recreating the Violet day challenge.)

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 21-Inspired by a Color

Inspired by a color. I had right next to no idea what that meant when I first thought about it. I mean I'm still not all too sure what it really means. But as I was brushing my teeth the night before I had to do this look, I thought... toothpaste. A nice bright blue jelly color with some square white glitter would look just like toothpaste. Unfortunately, I had neither of those things. And thus, this was born...

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 20-Water Marble

Ohhh water marbling. I was almost excited this morning to try it out. And then I got a bit of nail polish and water on my keyboard, and cleaning up my fingers alone was tragic (even with tape!). And also, I just... did not water marble well.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 11-Polka Dots

I can't even begin to tell you how much of a pain this day was. Polka dots. I think out of all the days, I was least looking forward to these. Just.. polka dots! I could not for the life of me think of something interesting. I tried to do half white/half red nails with a black strip between them with a little lace design, and have little dots between the lace, based loosely off of two other semi-similar designs I'd done before, but it was just... just a tragedy. In desperation, I did a lady bug design, but it was so so so unoriginal I couldn't bare to leave them on. After I took pictures of them, I started putting on a new purple color, and then thought "this would make an excellent gradient" and then after that I had a major epiphany and thought "MATTE POLKA DOTS."
