Kiss Nail Art in Black

Kiss Nail Art in Soft Purple

I was originally going to do more creative ideas for stripes, including more colors, and different designs. But...that clearly didn't work. I really liked the way these turned out, however! My favorite ones are the coral base with white and navy stripes.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 11

Day Eleven: Polka Dots

Sinful Colors in Cotton Candy

Sinful Colors in Unicorn

Sinful Colors in Sweet Nothing

Sinful Colors in Sweet Tooth

Today was simply polka dots! I got most of my ideas off of Pinterest, or were thought of on my own, and more than likely I was remembering one that I saw somewhere.

I'm also upset because they apparently weren't dry, and the colors ran together on a couple of the nails, which sucks :(

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 10

Day Ten: Gradient

Sinful Colors in Snow Me White

Sinful Colors in Cotton Candy

Sinful Colors in Ruby Ruby

I did these pretty much the same way that everyone else does theirs...

1. Paint the nail white.
2. Paint the colors desired on a cosmetic makeup sponge.
3. Dab the makeup sponge on the nail several times until desired effect is reached.

For some of the nails, I went back with just the color that was not appearing as much, and dabbed some more of it on. They are also messy because I was late getting home due to a class I had. So, I'm sorry they look horrible :(

Thumb: I kept the yellow from my 30 day nail challenge, and just added the pink by using tape and the
          pink polish, then a brush with silver polish for the "metal."
Index: The background is the same yellow polish, then I used a dotting tool for the red apple, and a
          smaller dotter for the stem and leaves.
Middle: Black polish for the blackboard, then I used a light yellow with a paint brush, and finished it
          with the matte top coat.
Ring: Using tape, I made the triangle, and painted the light skin color, then added the black for the tip.
          For the pencil part, I used the yellow from my 30 day challenge, the same as on my thumb, with
          a nail art brush.
Pinky: White color, with skinny red and blue for the stripes to look like notebook paper!

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 8

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.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 7

Day Seven: Black and White

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Black Out

Sinful Colors in Snow Me White

Milani Nail Art in Black

Kiss Nail Art in White

Kiss Nail Art in Black

Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Pearly White

This post will be a little different than the others, as well as most of them from now on in the 30 day nail challenge.

Thumb: White polish as the base, and the black Milani polish for the spiral
Index: Sinful Colors for the base, and the black Kiss Nail Art for the design and outline (the only
         reason I used two so similar was because I did not have the black Kiss one when I did my thumb,
         and I liked the Kiss brushes better)
Middle: Black polish as base, and white Kiss nail art in a grid shape
Ring: White base, black dots using the Sally Hansen polish, and a dotting tool
Pinky: Black base and Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen

I have had a couple of Milani Nail Art polishes for a while now. After having those, I bought some of the Kiss colors and loved them. The brushes are thinner, and better for precise designs, such as what is on my index finger. For things like the grid on my middle finger, either one would work, but my only option was the Kiss brand.

Basically, there is not much here for me to review! I always love Sally Hansen and Sinful Colors.
