31 Day Challenge Day 19, Galaxy Nails

Hey guys!
So my finger is doing much better and I have started polishing a bit. 
I have quite a few challenge days to make up for so I need to get to work!
I know Kimber said I didn't have to make them up but I want to! 
I missed a few that I was looking forward to so I have to do them!
I have never done galaxy nails before and I was really exited to try them.
I basically sponged on a bunch of different colors and added some dots and called it a day.
They don't really look like a galaxy but they sure look pretty!



1 coat Orly Nailtrition
2 coats Sinful Colors Black on Black
sponged on:
Sally Hansen White On
OPI Catch Me in Your Net
OPI Be a Dahlia Won't You
Finger Paints Plum Startled
China Glaze Icicle
dotted on Sally Hansen White On
topped with Seche Vite






What do you think?

31 Day Challenge, Day 18: Half Moon Nails and some bad news...

Hello ladies!
So last night I was at work and I injured my middle finger on my right hand...
and I'm right handed.
It's not broken but I crushed it really well. So my finger is in a splint and hurts like h-e double hockey sticks. On the plus side the ER doctors really liked my nails as they were checking out my finger :)

I'm not sure yet but some of my 31 day challenges might have to be postponed. I haven't tried polishing yet but I can't write so I don't know how well I'll be able to hold a brush. Good news is my finger nail was not harmed in this whole ordeal

Luckily I already did today's! I was still wearing it when I smashed my hand...
 Nail polish time!




1 coat OPI Nail Envy
2 coats Sation Jock Juggler 
stamped with CH6 and Maybelline Navy Narcissist
also used paper reinforcement stickers for the half moons

The Maybelline Color Show Metallics are awesome for stamping!

Had a little smudging but hey, nobody is perfect.



What do you guys think? Typing this whole thing took forever!

sponged on OPI Be a Dahlia Won't You?

31 Day Challenge Day 14: Flower Nails

Hello ladies! 
Today's theme is flowers! I love flowers and I love flower nails. 
So today should have been easy, except I ran out of time. 
It's fall and the days of direct sunlight are going to be few and far between so I spent my free time swatching my holos, something that I've been meaning to do for a while.
Tonight is my old high school's alumni game and I wanted to have some purple on my nails to represent :)
So I multitasked, I slapped on one of my favorite holos Nfu-Oh 61 and added some purple and flowers.

1 coat Nfu-Oh Aqua Base
2 coats Nfu-Oh 61
2 coats Sation Tardy Tart on the ring and thumb fingers
stamped with BM-306 and Pure Ice Silver Mercedes
topped with SV




I love holos and I am counting down the days to Color Club's Halo Hues 7 days!
