31 Day Challenge - Day 16: Tribal

I was half excited / half nervous about my tribal nails. I hadn't tried this design before and some of them are so intricate, I was hoping that I would be able to do something cool. I am so proud of how my designs came out and I hope you like them! I got tons of compliments at work :)

Love, love, love this! Inspiration for the patterns came from pinterest and google images so I can't take all the credit for that! There are so many different styles/types of  "tribal" mani's out there.

31 Day Challenge - Day 15: Delicate

This is the second challenge that I have been in that has had a "Delicate" nail day. Just like last time I have to stick with my favorite Konad "delicate" stamp. Today I was inspired by China (Plates). Let me know what you think.

Delicate Nails:




Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus
-Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
-Konad Special Blue
-Out The Door TopCoat


This one sort of makes me laugh because on the black and white challenge I said I don't like using white and it makes my nails look ghastly. This mani however I loved and ended up getting quite a few compliments. (P.S. I know I have been loving stamping lately but I will be doing more freehand soon!)

31 Day Challenge - Day 14: Flowers

Yay! One of my favorite nail art designs :) I love all sorts of flowers, and like yesterday I had the same decision to make, freehand or stamping. I have a handful of little stamping plates that I haven't used before, so I decided to do stamping. I had an idea in my head and it actually turned out pretty much how I was hoping! Whoohoo!

Flower Nails:




Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques Formula 2 Plus
-Sinful Colors - Mint Apple
-Konad Special Black
-Konad Special White
-Konad Special Pink
-Out The Door TC

I really like how this came out! With the exception of getting a little impatient and putting my topcoat on a little too soon and vigorously, I think this looks great. I love how stamping can make your nails so fun and intricate with minimal effort! As I mentioned before, this is my favorite section of the challenge, and I hope that you are liking it too!

31 Day Challenge - Day 13: Animal Print

We are almost halfway through the challenge! I am definately going to take a couple days off of posting in June to just relax. LOL. Anyway, today is aminal print nails. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do, stamps, freehand, etc. so I asked my husband to pick freehand or stamps, and leopard or zebra. Not only did he pick leopard stamp, he also decided to pick the colors too! hehehe.

Animal Print Nails:





Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus
-China Glaze - Ruby Pumps
-Konad Special White
-Kiss Nail Art - Silver
-Out The Door TopCoat

How do you like it? It's a little Christmas-y for my taste but that's ok; its also sort of "sexy", haha, and I got a lot of compliments on this when I wore it to work (think black capris, white blouse and red pumps). I like how the red has some dimension from the shimmer in it so the stamping doesn't look so 1 dimensional on it, and when I added the silver glitter it added that last bit of pop.

31 Day Challenge - Day 12: Stripes

How did everyone like polka dots? I didn't want to take that mani off, but I did, and now we get stripes!

Striped Nails:





Polishes Used:

-Sally Hansen - Pacific Blue

I really like these nails! I have been happy with my last couple mani's so that's good. I had to cut down my middle and ring finger nails over the last couple days, they aren't too short but I hope they grow out a little bit. I am loving the "patterns" section of this challenge :)
