31 Day Challenge: Day 8

Welcome back!

Today's Prompt: Metallic

Polish: L'Oreal Frieda's Nude

Studs: from Sally Beauty Supply

This was a super simple manicure, because I wasn't really feeling very creative at the time, and I just wanted to keep it simple. All I did was paint my nails with the nude, and then I added one stud to each ring finger.

Check back tomorrow for more nail art! <3

#NailArtJan Day 31

Welcome back! Again!

Today was the final day for this challenge, and I successfully completed it! This post is a little late, because I did have to finish The Nail Art Guild prompt for today, too.

The prompt was "silver," and I took it seriously! I used Essie No Place Like Chrome and did a little negative space mani. I used Nail Vinyls from here again, and put them down before any polish, then painted the polish over them. Once I took them off, I put down some rhinestones that were in a nail wheel I got from Icing.

That was it! They were super quick, simple, and unfortunately messy. I like the idea, I just need to be a little neater next time. I think it would be fun to play around with some different colors and studs/rhinestones.

31 Day Challenge: Day 22

Welcome back!

Today' theme: inspired by a song!

I was inspired by the song "The Best Day" by Taylor Swift. This one was not one of her most popular ones, but I've always liked it.

I chose a gold background for most of the nails because of the line where she says "look now, the sky is gold." The tree comes from the line "I don't know why all the trees change in the fall," and the beginning part, too, because it is talking about fall. The keys are the line where she says, "I come home crying and you hold me tight, and grab the keys." The calendar page is to represent that it was the best day, and finally the heart, because it was written for her mom.

I'm really happy with how this turned out! My gold was Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Golden-I, and the white was Sally Hansen Insta-Dri OMGhost. The red, orange and yellow (used mostly in the tree) were Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Pucker Up, Sun Kissed and Mellow Yellow. The brown for the tree trunk was Essie Little Brown Dress, and the silver was China Glaze Icicle.

31 Day Challenge: Day 8

Welcome back!

Today's theme: Metallic nails!

For this prompt, I chose to go with a China Glaze polish in Swing Baby. I had never tried this before, but I loved it! I used three coats in all of these pictures.

This polish is a bronze toned silver, with hints of gold in certain light. It is hard to see in the pictures, but there is just a little micro-glitter in this polish. I took pictures at different angles, because it comes off differently at different angles.

I really liked this polish! I thought it was absolutely gorgeous! It applied well, with a nice formula. The first coat was pretty sheer, but it built up quickly, and like I mentioned, it only took three coats for me to make it fully opaque, and I was very happy with the way it looked. It also dried quickly, which is another bonus! The only "problem" is the glitter. If this gets on your skin, even with pure acetone, and with working quickly, it was hard to get it off. I feel like I still have tiny bits on my skin!

Day Eight: Metallic

Essie's Nail Polish in Penny Talk

Today was back to just a plain color! I used this polish which I have been holding out on for a while now. And I absolutely loved it. I want to buy all of the colors in this collection (which I believe is the Chrome collection, or something like that.)

I only really needed one coat for several of my nails, but I did use two coats, just to be sure I had no missed spots. It also dries so super quick, I was able to  go about like normal almost immediately. It also is so shiny, it was hard to not get a glare when using a flash to take a picture! And it really does look like the color of a shiny, new penny!

If you are looking for a bronze nail polish, I would highly recommend this polish to anyone.
