31 Day Challenge: Inspired by a Pattern

I had a killer migraine yesterday so I put the challenge on pause. Luckily, today I’m all better so here’s my mani inspired by a pattern, I chose a Moroccan lattice for it’s apparent simplicity (I stress the word apparent) and it’s geometric shapes. Colors used: Essie Licorice and Blanc. To do these all you […]

31 Day Challenge: Inspired by a Color

You’d think color inspiration would be easy, but when it comes to nail art… not so much. I originally thought I’d go with red and do a bunch of red balloons, you know, like the song? But unfortunately, I’m pressed for time so I ended up getting inspired by the name of a nail polish: […]

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: 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: 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 […]

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: 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 […]
