31 Day Challenge: Gradient

It’s day 10 of the 31 day nail art challenge, you know what that means? We’re one-third finished! Yay us! It may be September, but it’s pretty much feeling like summer is alive and kicking here in Southern California. So, this gradient is all bright and summery! Colors used: Serum No. 5 Solar Power, Orange […]

31 Day Challenge: Rainbow

Can I just say how much I love this mani? I’m a total newb at nail art and to be honest, I desperately need a clean up brush because my painting skills are a hit and miss haha. When I was taking a look at the prompts for this challenge and saw “rainbow,” I knew […]

31 Day Challenge: Metallic

For metallic nails day, I knew I wanted to do something with black and gold. I love those colors together and it looks so chic and classy together, doesn’t it? So for today’s mani, I decided to do an updated version of one of my more famous manis. This was when I just really started […]

31 Day Challenge: Black and White

I think the hardest black and white nail art has got to be something as seemingly simple as a black and white gradient. It’s tough to get the colors to blend seamlessly, especially when the colors are complete opposites. Here’s my sad looking attempt. Colors used: Essie Blanc and Essie Licorice. To do this, paint […]

31 Day Challenge: Violet

It’s violet nails for the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge! For some reason, I had no idea what I wanted to do and I actually don’t own a whole lot of purples, so I better start stocking up! Colors used: Orly Purple Poodle, Essie Blanc, Essie Licorice and OPI Houston, We Have a Purple. To […]

31 Day Challenge: Blue

It’s blue for the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge and I am going to try some turquoise gemstone nails! Another surprise, I’ve never tried splatter nails either. So perfect way to get turquoise nails is with some splatters! Colors used: Essie In the Cab-ana, Orly Luxe and OPI Black Onyx. To do these, I started […]

31 Day Challenge: Green

[I recently updated my website and unfortunately the original post has been deleted, so I’ll try to remember the colors used as best as I can] For today’s green prompt, I decided to challenge myself a bit. I’ve actually never painted straight lines before. I know shameful, if you’re doing nail art, lines are probably […]

31 Day Challenge: Yellow

It’s day 3 and today’s prompt is yellow! I decided to take a page out of the Chalkboard Nails’s book and do my own version of her Busy Bee mani. To create this I used OPI Good Grief! and Who are You Calling Bossy?!? from the Peanuts collection and my Queen Bee Cut It Out […]

31 Day Challenge: Orange

Ladies. I mean, laaaaadiiiieeesss! I’m proud to say that I gave stamping another shot and I was able to actually get the image to transfer onto not just the stamper, but to my nails! I’m so proud of myself. Stamping has been one of the banes of my nail art existence and today, I kicked its ass. […]

31 Day Challenge: Red

It’s day one of the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge and yay me, I made it! One down, 30 more to go… oh dear… So for today’s prompt (red), I decided to ease myself in and do something simple. So here’s some heart french tips with a Commes des Garcons heart as the accent nail. […]
