Fiery Gradient

Today I have a nice gradient to show. To say that I am completely in love with it is an understatement. I've been wearing it for about four, five days now (the longest I've worn the same look since probably June!), and I still catch myself staring.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 27-Inspired by Art

I knew 'Inspired by Art' was going to be a difficult day. I spent a while thinking about what kind of artwork I wanted to do. Right off the bat, I knew I didn't want to do any recreations of famous paintings or anything. A) That would be so hard (not that I'm shying away from a bit of hard work- I love really getting into nail work that take maybe an hour or two or even more- but I wasn't really prepared to do that. I don't really have grade-A brushes, and my paints are limited) and B) I feel like that would be the obvious route. And while there have been many many talented artists, I've never really been one to get really stuck on a certain era, or artist, or whatnot. And then I thought of an idea I'd been mulling over a while. Stained glass!

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 25-Inspired by Fashion

Fashion was today's inspiration challenge. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do for the day, since I hadn't done much preparation the day before. I flipped through a few pages of a magazine and came across a picture that had some colors I really liked and thought, "Well hey, why not use this." And so I did.
