31 Day Challenge: Day 21 - Inspired By A Color

I can't believe we are already 2/3 of the way through this challenge, and unfortunately we are done with my favorite section, "patterns". Here is day by day breakdown as a refresher.

So today's challenge was inspired by a color. This one is so vague I wasn't really sure what to do, so I looked through some other bloggers sites who had previously done the challenge and it seems like today is a bit of "anything goes"; which I like :) One of my favorite shade trends lately is teal. I have fallen in love with all greens, teals and blues lately so I just went with that.

31 Day Challenge - Day 20: Water Marbled

*Sigh* I hate water marbling, and this was probably my worst time ever. I considered re-doing it but it just feels like so much work and who knows if my next water marble would be better. So...I will get straight to the pictures.

Water Marbled:

Polishes Used:
-Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
-Sinful Colors - Neon Melon
-NYC - Side Walkers
-Out The Door TC

As you can see, nothing about this mani worked. In my mind neon yellow and grey would be OK, but the gray sort of just turned the neon from yellow to green, and IDK if if was beause the yellow is matte, but it didn't spread out well in the water at all. Oh wells.

And on a better note, because I don't want the water marble fail to be the last image in your head, my husband and I went to a wedding last weekend and here is a cute shot of the two of us :)

31 Day Nail Challenge - Day 19: Galaxies

Today is Galaxy Nails! I have tried this once before, and I actaully liked my previous mani better, however, this is very similar. I used the same colors and tried the same technique, the only difference is that I didn't take as much time on these so they aren't as perfect. That's ok, galaxy nails leave so much room for interpertation that no matter what you do it won't look bad!

Galaxy Nails:

Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus (P.S. I really do think this is helping to strengthen my nails)
-Nicole - Midnight Madness
-Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
-China Glaze - Solar Power
-Funky Fingers - Mad Hatter
-Spoiled - Shrip on the Barbie
-Spoiled - Jewelry Heist
-Out The Door - TopCoat

What do you think? Have you tried galaxy nails before?

31 Day Challenge - Day 18: Half Moons

I got some nail mail this past weekend and was looking to try out one of my new polishes so I was able to use this challenge to incorporate that polish, Lux, from AdorBeautySupplies.etsy.com. The polish came quickly and its very pretty. Also, since neons are so hot right now, I just had to use some of that too! Here we go...

Half Moon Nails:

Polishes Used:

-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus

-Wet 'n Wild - How I Met your Magenta

-AdorBeautySupplies - Lux (Indie)

-Out The Door TopCoat

How do you like this? Next time I will be using Lux alone. It's a nice custom polish with a white shimmer base, tiny gold and pink glitters. The formula was pretty nice and it was almost opaque in only 1 coat, although I still used 2! (Which seems to be hard to find these days). What do you think?

31 Day Challenge - Day 17: Glitter

Glitters! Everyone's favorite polish to remove ;) ;). Anyway, I did this mani earlier this month when I purchased this polish. I went simple today because the glitter is so pretty on its own. Here we go.

Glitter Nails:

Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus
-Wet 'n Wild - Bow In My Presence
-Out The Door TopCoat

This is such a fun glitter polish, micro glitters in light blue and silver with multicolor small hex glitters as well. This looks similar to some of the China Glaze polished out there, but not exact.
