Day 21 - Inspired by a Color

I was unsure as to what I was supposed to actually do for this, but I actually was inspired by a color. Gothic Lolita by China Glaze to be exact. I had seen it swatched before, but I really didn't expect it to be so freakin' pretty. I mean seriously, if you're a purple fan, you have to have this polish. It's just a lovely medium purple with the slightest pink shimmer. Really gorgeous. Purple inspired me so these nails are full of purple! I'd also like to dedicate this to Drinkcitra as she is a fellow purple enthusiast :)





The dots are made up of Kleancolor - Pastel Purple (lightest), Confetti - Belle of the Ball (second lightest), and Jordana - Hypnotizing. The accent finger is Honk if You Love OPI and that's also whats on the tips over Gothic Lolita.

I hope everyone has a lovely day!

Day 11 - Dots

I remember seeing a design similar to this floating around on the internet, but I cannot recall the name of the original artist. Any help would be appreciated! These colors came out unintentionally Easter-like, but that's ok because it is Easter/Spring time after all.








For the base I used Confetti - Belle of the Ball - it really is a wonderful color. Well, if you like purple as much as I do! 
The dark blue is Cynthia by Zoya, the green is Innocent by Sinful Colors, the yellow Sally Hansen's Mellow Yellow, and the pink is a no name no brand situation I got in a big pack from Ross. The generic, weird-smelling polishes actually work really well for bases or nail art as long as you have a good top coat. I've definitely seen worse formulas. 

I am pretty happy with the way this turned out - what do you think?

Day 3 - Yellow

I have less than 5 yellows in my collection so this was a bit of a challenge. I chose Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow. The name is accurate - it is a very mellow yellow! It's a pale almost pastel yellow and applies easily in two coats. The dots were inspired by NailedIt's tutorial. Mine didn't come out even close to what it should have been, but I thought the results were cute anyway.








The blue dots are American Apparel's Mount Royal, the purple dots are Jordana's Hypnotizing, and the green dots are American Apparel's Army Jacket. I hope you all have enjoyed my nubbins today! I broke two and they had to be cut down :(

Finally had enough colors to do an ombre...

..But I did it with my tips. I really liked the idea of doing nude nails with colorful tips, so I went with an ombre design. The nude is Revlon - Sheer Nude.


The blues are:
Thumb - Revlon's Minted
Pointer - China Glaze's For Audrey
Middle - Sinful Colors's Why Not?
Ring - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's Pacific Blue (love this polish)
Pinky - Dark blue Cosmetic Arts that I actually only bought because both me and my father thought it was purple. Bleh. Still a good color.


The other nubbin nail that I spoke of in the last post...




That wooden thing that I took pictures on is what I am hoping to make my nail polish desk. It would look awesome all painted up. 

Bonus weird dots:



Does anyone else play Animal Crossing? They have a salon in town, and there should totally be an option to get your nails done. I'm writing Nintendo! ^.^
