31 Day Challenge: Day 10

So, today's post is a day late...  Sorry!  I hope every one had an enjoyable Mother's Day.

Today's challenge is "Gradient" and it was tough!  Not to mention I hacked away my cuticles with my new snippers (ouch).  I use Revlon Blue Lagoon (that could be a dupe to Sinful Colors Cinderella) and China Glaze White on White.  The technique I attempted can be found here at The Nailasaurus.

31 Day Challenge: Day 9

Every time I see a rainbow I have to stop what I'm doing and enjoy its beauty.  Fortunately for me, today's challenge is to create nail art incorporating a rainbow.  I was inspired to try this design from color-happy.blogspot.com because it was just too stinkin' cute to pass!

It was surprisingly easy to do, too.  First, I did a white base coat with Orly White Tips.  Then I rounded up the best rainbow colors in my stash:  OPI OPI Red, OPI A Roll in the Hague, OPI Lemonade Stand By Your Man, Revlon Posh, China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, and OPI Purple With A Purpose.  Then I topped it off with China Glaze Fairy Dust, a holographic microglitter.  The perfect glitter to put on top of a rainbow!

It's so cheery!  It's too bad I have to take it off tomorrow.

Happy Saturday!

31 Day Challenge: Day 4

Green day!  It's day 4 of the challenge and I'm ready to show-n-tell.

I picked up a bottle of Revlon Posh especially for this day.  It's a cream kelly green and it reminds me of my high school's colors (Go Pirates!), green and gold.  I so would've worn this for Spirit Day.

Posh was a really nice simple green.  The formula was good and it smoothed out nicely - 2 coats for opacity.
I jazzed it up with some experimental dots (Posh mixed with some white I had on hand).  I'm still new with nail art so my dot lines are a little off-centered - whoopsie!
