31 Day Challenge: Water Marble

Fall is a day away, but here in Southern California, we’re still sweating it in the 90s-100s. I mean seriously, seriously? It’s so hot, I die. I miss wearing pants or a light sweater and feel comfortable. I’m hoping this fall mani will get California weather in check, because it’s getting pretty ridiculous. Water marbles […]

31 Day Challenge: Galaxies

I love galaxy nails if only because sometimes, the messier the better! They seem really intricate, but really, they can be done in as quickly as five minutes. Colors used: Serum No. 5 Acai of Relief, Indi-Glo, Blue Blazes, Laven-Daringly Bright, Pure Glow Getter and Lights Out and China Glaze Fairy Dust. To do these, […]

31 Day Challenge: Geometric

For geometric nails, I wanted to do something easy, so I thought how about some simple shapes to form a mosaic? Easy, right? Wrong. Guess who was sorely mistaken and spent over an hour doing her nails painstakingly painting triangles? This girl… Colors used: Essie Blanc and China Glaze Neon & On, For Audrey and […]

31 Day Challenge: Delicate

It’s day 15 and I’m halfway there! For today’s delicate prompt, I wanted to use Indi-Glo because it’s all reformulated and I hopefully (knock on wood) never have to go through that whole ordeal ever again! So what’s blue and delicate? Porcelain! Colors used: Serum No. 5 Indi-Glo, Essie Blanc and OPI Keeping Suzi at […]

31 Day Challenge: Flowers

I have a weakness for floral nails. I love them. They’re so pretty and intricate and I wish I could do them. Haha! For today’s mani, I went for a bright pop of flowers over a black background. Colors used: Essie Blanc and Licorice and Serum No. 5 Krypton-Brite, Atomic Peach, Orange You Sunny, Awesome […]

31 Day Challenge: Animal Print

It’s animal day and I decided to go with snakes! For this prompt, I decided to recreate a previous mani that I did and absolutely loved: a neutral purple-toned snakeskin. I did have to sacrifice the nails though, my stamp plate that I had in mind was too small for my current length. Can we […]

31 Day Challenge: Stripes

I think my favorite designs are the ones that looks simple. Rather than do a full striped mani, I wanted to do something a little more modern and different. Colors used: Essie Blanc, China Glaze Highlight of My Summer and Too Yacht to Handle and Essie In the Cab-ana. First paint your nails white, then […]

31 Day Challenge: Polka Dots

When I decided to put myself through try the 31 day nail art challenge, I asked my friends to let me know if they come across any cool nail art designs. Luckily, my friend tagged me in Hello_Lolo‘s picture on Instagram. Here’s my recreation of this mani. Colors used: OPI My Vampire is Buff, Lacquer […]
