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

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.
What do you think?
