Let It Snow! Challenge - Winter Blues

This week's theme in the Let It Snow! Challenge is Winter Blues. I definitely have the winter blues; I am so sick of this cold weather, dreary days, and having it be dark when you go to AND from work.

Here are my Blue nails for "Winter Blues"!





Polishes Used:
-OPI - Nail Envy
-Sally Girl - Epic
-Finger Paints - Blue Raspberry Taffy
-Essie - Borrowed and Blue
-Northern Lights

For this mani, I sort of went to for a camo theme but not really, more like random splotches of color. haha. It was super easy and gave a fun look. I will be trying this again for sure; maybe neons with some stamping for summer? 

Please excuse the crappy Finger Paints polish bottle; clearly its been loved ;-)


Everyone has the Winter Blues too! Check them out here:

Lazy Days of Summer - Summer Nights

I was thinking about Summer Nights for a while but wasn't exactly sure what to do, finally when I was on Stumbled Upon it hit me. Northern Lights! I have never gotten an opportunity to see Northern Lights in person, but I would love to. Hopefully I will be able to see them live one day. If you're interested to learn more about them, check the wiki page, here.





Polishes Used:
-OPI - Nail Envy
-Nicole - Midnight Madness
-China Glaze - Gothic Lolita
-Essence - You Belong to Me
-NYC - Fushia Shock Cream
-Sally Girl - Epic
-Essie - Shine of the Times
-NYC - Matte Me Crazy

I used a bunch of different polishes and couple different techniques to try to recreate the effect that the lights were traveling across all of my nails. What do you think? Have you ever seen Northern Lights?

Here are a couple photos of what they look like in case you're interested:

31 Day Challenge - Day 23: Inspired By A Movie

Today's challenge wasn't too bad. I am not usually too creative but I had fun with this challenge. I am getting better with my freehand and using nail art brushes, but my smallest brush isn't as small as I think I would like it.  My movie inspiration was Wizard of Oz and each of my nails represents a different aspect of the movie, so here we go.

Inspired By A Movie:





Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus
-NYC - Sidewalkers
-Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
-Sinful Color - San Francisco
-Kiss Nail Art - Black
-Kiss Nail Art - White
-Kiss Nail Art - Silver
-Sally Girl - Epic
-Sally Hansen - Parrot
-Pure Ice (no name polish?)
-China Glaze - Solar Power
-China Glaze - Ruby Pumps
-Konad - Special Green
-Out The Door - TopCoat

Boy, that's a long list of polishes. My pinky nail is inspired by the twister which takes Dorothy from Kansas to Oz. My ring finger, which is composed of two different shimmery reds represents Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers. My middle finger is inspired  by the blue and white pattern of Dorothy's dress. My pointer is based off of the Yellow Brick Road, and finally, my thumb represents Emerald City. Do you like?
