31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 30-Inspired by a Tutorial

One day left! There is one day left of this challenge! I remember all way back to day one, where I accidentally never used the right color. Oh, memories. But anyways, I have been so excited for this day. I've known what I wanted to do for the past few days, and I am not at all disappointed in it. I present to you: sugar coated nails!

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 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 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 26-Inspired by a Pattern

So I was thinking about patterns and I didn't want to do anything simple. Typical me, I was... over ambitious, to say the least. I chose a blue chine plate pattern to do because I am a self-sabotaging person.

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.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 24-Inspired by a Book

Inspired by a book sounded easy in concept. I have a nice collection of books that I love; but creating a nail theme around just one? Easier said than done. Well, for me anyways, it's probably way easier for most people, but hush hush now. So I thought about it. I'd done Hunger Games inspired nails before, and loved how they turned out, but I didn't want to just redo a design. So I took a different aspect from the wonderful trilogy to translate into nail art: forests.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 23-Inspired by a Movie

So I wasn't really picking up any movie inspiration for this challenge. I can't even actually remember the last movie I watched. But I figured I could get away with doing a TV show because hey same difference, okay? And I chose one of the best shows ever to showcase on my nails for the day: Avatar: the Last Airbender!

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 22-Inspired by a Song

Inspired by a song was a tiny bit easier than inspired by a color. I opened up my music library and for some reason the first thing to pop into mind was "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri. It started off well enough but ended a disaster, and I'll leave it at that. Then, for no real reason, "Blueberry Kisses" by Lady Gaga played in my head. And I thought "Hey, blueberry nail art would be awesome. Let's throw in some mouths too, even though I suck at them." And.. well, here it is.

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...
