31 Day Challenge: Day 4 - Green

Hey guys!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Today is day 4 and it calls for green! I've had this idea in my head for a long time now and this was the perfect opportunity to do it.

I used China Glaze Starboard, Wet n Wild Black Creme, black and white acrylic. Chez Delaney plate A37
Looking at this manicure, I wish I used a lighter green. Perhaps next time!

Can I just add how much I am in love with these nails. They are extremely cute.

I feel like my other nails lack. Hmm time to brain storm some more.

The stitches look a bit boring. 

I really dig the way my green nails turned out.Hopefully, I can kick it up a notch!

See you tomorrow on Day 5 Blue nails!

Last minute nails

I am really sorry but I have nothing special to show you today. Just some last minute stamping. The party last night was a lot of fun. A lot of people came which is amazing!! Some people had/ to leave earlier because of the freak snow storm. I'm in Boston, we didn't get a lot but I have friends from Salem, MA who had to leave because they got hit bad!

Claw Polish- Phantasm

Stamped with plates from Chez Delaney.

My boyfriend and my costumes. Our costumes are results of failed costume ideas. 

There will always be next year!

My nails were a huge hit at our party last night. 

Many people got queasy last night. 

Therefore that means it was a huge success!!

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend!

Until tomorrow my pretties!

Ooooooo!!!

I should be packing right now. My boyfriend and I are going camping with our friends. I know not to pack a lot but still, I like to be prepared. I did my nails before I got brunch with my boyfriend and his family. They all love my nails and are trying ton convince me to open up a small business.

This has had to have been the quickest manicure I have ever done.

 It all took around 10 minutes!!!!

Haul and Nail Mail

Since I am unemployed, I don't get nail mail as often as I did when I had a job (I miss those day). Yesterday, I decided to treat myself.

From left to right:

Bonita- Aqua Marina

Bonita- Yacht Club

nail inc- Haymarket

nails inc- Belgrave Place

Bonita- Blue Lagoon

Bonita- Treasure Chest

I found Bonita nail polish at Francesca's, which is a little boutique here. I am not sure if it's only local.

The polishes were 2 for $1 or $2.. I can't recall. Sorry!!

My sister got me these bowls from Target! Aren't they the cutest!!

Today, some nail mail came in for me. I ordered 3 Halloween image plates from  Chez Delaney.

So cute!!

I purchased T29, D04, and D03! 

I can't wait to play with them!!

Day 23: Inspired by a movie

Ok so I meant to post this yesterday but I suddenly got really busy.  I had a family emergency :(, then I went to dinner with friends, then my boyfriend and I had to dog sit. So day 23 of the 30 day nail polish is inspired by a movie. I chose Bram Stoker's Dracula, I love Gary Oldman.

So let me explain what I did.

On the index finger, I chose to do the lips of the girls in bed with Jonathan Harker.

The middle finger is the blood with Lucy get bitten or just the blood in the movie. 

The ring finger is sponged to look like a lot of bats in the night (does that make sense?)

and there is always only one that is in focus.

The thumb and pinky resemble the cobwebs around the castle.

What I used:

Wet n Wild: Black Creme

China Glaze: Phat Santa & Naughty and Nice

Aldo: Mardi Gras

Eyeko: Vampira Polish

Sally Hansen: Petal Pusher

Chez Delaney: A37

Again, sorry for the late post!

Until later my pretties!

Day 21: Inspired by a color

Ok ok ok. I am sorry for posting so late. Today was one of those days. You know, I did my nails, walked around the city, got completely side tracked. Anywho this is the third and last section of the 30 Day Nail Polish Challenge.

The color that inspired me today was It's Alive by China Glaze. Obviously Frankenstein came to mind because I am a huge huge huge horror fanatic. It was hard to photography this manicure but I tried my hardest.

Base color: China Glaze It's Alive (2)

Image Plate: Chez Delaney A37

Stamp color: Konad black

It's kind of hard to see the stitching. 

I love this manicure. Next time I do it, I will try placing the stitches in different places.

A better shot of it! Mickey looks evil!

Til tomorrow my pretties!

Day 16: Tribal Print

Day 7: Black and White Nails

I woke up today with hardly any energy. It's been raining here nonstop for the past two days. It's in the low 60s. Bye Summer.. Til next time, I will miss you

I wasn't too sure what I was going to do for Day 7. I started watching the Twilight Zone and that's what gave me the idea for today's manicure!

Maybelline- Classic Black

Konad- White

I love love love the way they came out.. Except for a few mistakes here and there (probably everywhere!!)

Til next time my lovelies!

Day 4: Spiderman

Half freehand half stamps!!
I must say, I am getting more comfortable with doing freehand nail art. My hand is getting sturdier. I do admit, when I have to do it with my left hand, I want to throw in the towel. It tires me a lot. Odd, I know haha.

Spiderman's eyes came out a lot better on my right hand but I didn't photograph it. His eyes look very special here hahaha
I've been drawing a lot of influence from other amazing nail bloggers.
Does anyone has any tip/advice on freehand nail art?

Thumb, Middle, Pinky fingers

Base Color: MAC Naughty Nautical

Geek Week: Batman + Harley Quinn nails

I meant to post this yesterday.. But then I went to Michaels and got distracted by their Halloween goodness.
This week, I will be doing thing pertaining to geekiness. I am a huge geek myself. I play Dungeons and Dragons, video games, read comics etc. SO what better way to honor it than with nail art.

This is my first time trying freehand nail art.

Day 1: Batman and Harley Quinn

My middle fingers were Batman and the rest were Harley Quinn

Middle finger:
Base Color: Sally Hansen Lightening

Stamp Color: Konad Black

Rest of the hand:
Base color: Sally Hansen Sonic Boom
Design Color: Black Acrylic Paint
Accent Color: China Glaze Cheers To You

Sally Hansen: Raspberry Race

This is one of the colors I picked up yesterday during my drugstore haul.

Raspberry Race is a purplely, pink shade. Gosh I am horrible at describing things. While applying it, I wanted to lick it. Raspberry race is a perfect name for this. I used two coats.

I can't stand to have my nails with no design.

I whipped out my H19 plate that I ordered from Chez Delaney. I will do a review on those (amazing!!!) products later.

It was hard to capture the design because I used my flash and the stamp color was silver chrome.

Base Color: Sally Hansen Raspberry Race Insta Dri

Stamp Color: Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen in Silver Chrome

Top Coat: Seche Vite

Look at the cute little birdie!!!
