Day 2- Orange

Check me out... actually posting on time. WOO! I'm not being sarcastic, it's pretty major for me! Hah

For my orange I chose Hayden by Julep. It's much more of a bright orange than it looks in these pictures. Even when I tried to take pictures outside, I still couldn't capture the actual color properly. At first I didn't think I'd really like this color (or this manicure to be honest), but it has grown on me quite a bit. I was just trying to do some random crackle stripes, but my OCD nature forced me to make them uniform. The color is really just brilliant. I wouldn't call it a neon. A pastel neon? Is that a thing? Well it should be and this would be it.









My thumbs were a total accident. I was testing out swiping techniques, and I ended up really liking how it came out. 

Note: My cuticles look incredibly bad. I have been doing everything but still pretty cuticles elude me! Anyway, I'm really curious what anyone has to say about this design! 

Tomorrow will be tough, I have very little selection when it comes to yellow.

Thanks for reading!

31 Day Challenge! Day 1 - Red




So I'ma do the 31 day nail art challenge. And it really will be a huge challenge because I have had zero motivation to do nail art recently. And even if I do the art, I have no motivation to post. I really enjoy posting when I do, it's just getting myself out of the regular funk and doing it. Argh. Anywho... Anyone else reading this probably already knows how this whole deal works so without further ramblings...

Day 1 - Red Nails

This is China Glaze - Snow Globe over China Glaze - Winter Berry. I immediately loved Winter Berry just because it has one of my kitties' names in it and Snow Globe is just frickin' gorgeous. It's really hard to photograph all of the colors in Snow Globe, though! 












Winter Berry is a great red on its own, but I really enjoyed the outcome of adding a glitter gradient to it. Snow Globe is quite a hungry glitter, but if I'd man up and pick up some Seche Vite or Gelous I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. Thanks for reading!
