I know, it's late. But I had a good reason! I was traveling today, and the wifi at the airport and on the plane were awful. Plus, I forgot my dark brown polish, which I needed, and it was back here at home, so I had to wait until I was here to finish it up!

I was inspired by the book Matched by Ally Condie. It's the book I'm currently reading, and have been for a while now, but I haven't had a lot of time to read with work and school and moving! Life gets crazy sometimes.

To make the ombre look, I used a latex free sponge and did a gradient on top of white with all of the greens. The details were painted with a new nail art brush from Winstonia store!

Check back tomorrow for more nail art! <3

31 Day Challenge: Day 24

Welcome back!

Today's theme: inspired by a book!

I was inspired by the cover of Divergent by Veronica Roth.

For these nails, I started with a background using colors similar to the ones on the book. I painted the whole nail with Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Blue It as my base. Then, using the sponge/ombre technique, I blended the blue into black, by applying Blue It, Wet n Wild Wild Shine Blue Moon and Wet n Wild Wild Shine Black Creme to a sponge. These blended together beautifully!

The design/logo on the front of the book was fairly easy to do. I used Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art Striper in Yellow and Orange. I started by drawing a circle with a flame inside with yellow. Then, using the orange, I put just a little bit around the edges, wiggling it slightly while doing so to make it look more like flames. Finally, I went back in with yellow to blend the two colors together better, and to wiggle around the whole thing to mimic the flames.

I'm very happy with how these turned out! I love them and don't really want to take them off!

Thanks for reading <3



*All polishes were purchased with my own money.

I love The Hunger Games, so I decided this was the best idea for me!

*Once again, I did not intentionally take any ideas off of anyone's page, or from Pinterest. These were the things I thought of on my own, and what I could do myself.

For tools, I just used a couple small nail brushes, and a small dotting tool.
