31 Day Challenge Day 5: Blue Nails

Hello Girlies!

So I know I am a day late on my challenge post but I have a good reason.

I have been battling a cold for the last couple days and yesterday it somehow turned into a major toothache.

 The toothache got so bad that I ended up going to the ER. After 5 hours there we finally left and made it home around 1 am. They gave me 3 different medications and one is a pain killer so I have been a bit loopy all day :-)

I slept in a little today while my lovely husband kept an eye on the little one so I could recover a bit. 

When I woke up I did a quick mani snapped some pictures then he drove me to work, since I am on pain meds and I didn't want to crash the car! My boss is out of town so I had to go in today to take care of everything she usually does since I am second in command.

So I just got home from work and am typing this up right away, and that is why it is late.

Onto the blue nails!

I decided to pull out one of my untried polishes China Glaze Bermuda Breakaway.

I am so sad that I have not used this before it is such a beautiful navy blue. It is so strange it is a navy but it is a bright navy... figure that one out.

1 coat OPI Nail Envy

2 coats CG Bermuda Breakaway

taped off 1 coat Revlon Metallic

taped off 1 coat Zoya Carly

1 coat Seche Vite

 I also decided it needed a little more pizazz, so I added some Zoya Carly to the very tips of my nails... I like it!

Not too bad for someone hyped up on pain medication.

Ocean Rush

Hello everyone!
I think we are all getting a bit antsy waiting for the new Color Club Halo Hues to be released or at least have a release date...
So when a sunny day rolled around I decided to enjoy one of the holos I already have in my collection.
This is Layla's Ocean Rush. Ocean Rush is a bright blue linear holo that has rainbows for days. This polish is amazing! It applied easily and looked wonderful. The only downfall is that it chips fast, within 24 hours. Yet I still think it is worth it just to get this sparkle. WARNING:  Lots of pictures!

1 coat Nfu-Oh Aqua Base
3 coats Layla Ocean Rush

31 Day Challenge Day 3: Yellow Nails

Hello to all!

This week has been so busy, my little guy started Pre-K so it has been a whole new experience for my whole family! He loves it and is having a blast.

Any who...

On to the nails.

I am not a yellow person. Out of my 400+ polishes, I own about 4 yellow ones.

So it was hard to find inspiration for yellow day, I took a new polish I received from my very first Julep Maven box :-) and a stamp I haven't used yet and mixed them together and this was the result, a fun summer mani!

1 coat OPI Nail Envy

 3 coats Julep Blake

Mash-42 stamped with Konad Psyche Pink

dotted with China Glaze Little Drummer Boy

1 coat SV

31 Day Challenge, Day 2: Orange nails

Hello my dears,

So today is day 2 of the 31 day challenge: Orange nails

I knew I didn't want to do a completely orange mani because it is so hard to make one that does not look Halloween-y. 

I decided on a gradient:

1 coat OPI Nail Envy

2 coats OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

sponged with OPI MBSW and China Glaze Riveting

Stamped with China Glaze Passion and Konad Special Black Pearl

plate Mash-41

The dragonfly was on the same plate and it was just calling to me I had to use it.

31 Day Challenge, Day 1: Red nails

So today is Day 1 of my first challenge!

It is a 31 Day challenge hosted by Kimber's Lacquer Korner.

 

Day 1 is Red Nails.

Now when I went to do this I realized that I only own 2 red nail polishes.

One is Cover Girl Candy Apple, it is a bright red red cream that I bought years ago for a 4th of July mani.

The other one is the lovely China Glaze Ruby Pumps.

 So I decided to use them both

1 coat OPI Nail Envy

2 coats Cover Girl Candy Apple

Taped and 1 coat China Glaze Ruby Pumps

dotted with Nfu-Oh 61
