31 Day Challenge: Inspired by Fashion

For today’s fashion prompt, I took a look at NYFW 2014’s runways. To me, I think it’s pretty easy to get inspired by runway trends. The colors, the structure, the composition… they all play so well together to give you that great floral or textured print or amazing color combination. For this mani, I was […]

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 […]

August 2013 Nail Art Challenge: Gradient and Recreation

Since doing Serum, I haven’t had as much time to do nail art or really swatch the many bottles of untrieds I have. Luckily there’s a person on Instagram that goes by Californails that creates monthly nail art challeges. Not a daily-who-has-time-for-that challenge, but something more flexible for those that don’t have time to do […]
