31 Day Challenge Day 22: Inspired by a Song

Hey ladies!

Today's mani is inspired by a song.

I chose the song Hurricane by Something Corporate.

I have always loved this song and it seems apropriate since last week's appearance of Superstorm Sandy. My family was lucky and the worst that happened at our house was our fence was torn down from the winds. My brother-in-law's house however had a neighbor's tree fall onto the back of the house. Their house is still okay for them to stay in but there is a lot of work to be done.

There are a lot of people who weren't as lucky as we were and my heart goes out to them and their families. The Red Cross is taking donations to help people rebuild their homes and move on with their lives, you can find more information on their website.

31 Day Challenge Day 13, Animal Print Nails

Hey!

Welcome to Animal Print day! I think it will be fun.

I decided to go a different route today. I once saw a picture of a fish called a Parrot Fish and it was rainbow colored! This is my version of it:

1 coat OPI Nail Envy

2 coats OPI Ink

2 coats Hits Moonbow

stamped with Revlon Metallic and Mash-39

1 coat SV

Here is the little guy who inspired me

Here is a look at Moonbow on its own. Prepare for lots of pictures!

The multi chrome on this is amazing! I see green, blue, purple, pink, yellow and a little bit of orange! This polish is so distracting! I wore this for three days. That is a long time for me.

What do you think?

31 Day Challenge Day 9, Rainbow Nails

Hey guys!

I can't believe how fast this challenge is going! I am having a lot of fun coming up with all these designs.

Today's nails are Rainbow Nails. For these I didn't want to go the traditional rainbow route. I wanted something a little different so I picked some close to- rainbow colors.

My stamp didn't turn out as well as I would have liked but I still really like this mani!

1coat OPI Nail Envy Original

2 coats OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

I sponged on in this order:

OPI Kiss Me on My Tulips

Sally Hansen Sun Kissed

Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow

Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Mint Sprint

OPI No Room for the Blues

Sation Tardy Tart

Stamped with Konad Special White and Cheeky XL plate A

dotting with a dotting tool and Konad Special White

My work space and bottle shot

Pre-clean up and stamp

I love puzzles so I knew this stamp was for me! I've been waiting to use it.

What do you guys think?

31 Day Challenge Day 7, Black and White Nails ;-)

Hey!

So here is something weird, there are two groups of girls doing this 31 Day Challenge. Our group started earlier, but we are posting every 3 days. The second group started later but is posting every day. What are the odds that the two groups would sync up and have Black and White day on the same day?!

So for today's mani I wanted to use something that I haven't featured yet. I love this polish and I am so happy to own it but it takes some practice to make it look nice. This is OPI Black Spotted:

1 coat OPI Original Nail Envy
2 coats Sally Hansen White On
1 coat China Glaze Fairy Dust
1 coat OPI Black Spotted
accent nail stamped with plate Mash-43 and Konad White
