Farewell Until Next Summer!

After a summer of nail art, I have to say that it's been fun and a great experience for me to share my designs with you! I think I've gained some new skills and throughout the year I'll be thinking about some new designs for next summer! Thank you for your support :)  

See you next time!

31 Day Challenge: Day 31 "Recreation of a Design You Love"

31 Day Challenge: Day 31 "Recreation of a Design You <3"

Hi! This is the last day of the 31 Day Challenge, and I have to say I'm pretty bummed. Though it's been a lot of work, I've definitely had fun and improved my skills! Today the theme is "Recreation of a Design You <3," so I obviously chose one from my favorite blogger, Sarah from Chalkboard Nails! You can see her original design here (one that was spurred by the 31DC as well!). I absolutely loved these when she first posted them, so when I started this challenge, I knew that it would end with a bang in trying to recreate her design! And though my attempt is not exactly the same as hers, and my skills are not yet as developed, I ended up loving the final result! I love the design and I love Chalkboard Nails :) What do you think?

[The polishes used in this design are OPI "My Boyfriend Scales Walls" (off-white) and "Dating a Royal" (blue).]

Thanks for sticking with me through the challenge! :D

31 Day Challenge: Day 27 "Inspired by You!"

Hello there! The theme for today is "Inspired by You!" so I decided to pursue a design around my favorite color: purple! I made the design very shiny, with some holo polishes and a bit of glitter :) Overall, I really like the look and I think it's pretty cute! What do you think?

Thanks for viewing! :)

31 Day Challenge: Day 26 "Inspired by a Country"

Hello! Today the challenge is "Inspired by a Country," and I chose the wonderful country of Japan. I have always admired the language and culture, so I was excited to try out my hand at the country theme. In the end, I loved how these turned out and I don't want to take them off! But the challenge demands that I must :) What do you think? (And did you notice the little ninja?)


[I used Sally Hansen White On (base) and acrylic paints for this design.]

Thanks for viewing! :)

31 Day Challenge: Day 25 "Inspired by a Movie"

Today's theme is "Inspired by a Movie," and as I have recently become obsessed by watching Star Trek, I decided to do a design inspired by Star Trek: The Next Generation, including the movies that were derived from the show! My nail art is inspired by the uniforms of the TNG crew, the title, and the communicator badges. I love this mani (and the show) and I think everyone should watch it! What do you think?

[The polishes used in this design are OPI "Unfor-greta-bly Blue" (blue), "Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous" (gray/dark silver), "Oy-Another Polish Joke" (yellow), "Danke-Shiny Red" (red), Zoya "Trixie" (silver), and American Apparel "Gold Flash" (gold).]

Dif-tor heh smusma! (Live Long and Prosper.)

31 Day Challenge: Day 24 "Inspired by Artwork"

Hi there! For today's challenge "Inspired by Artwork," I decided to pursue a bit of nature's artwork in the complexity of fractals! A fractal, as defined by the New Oxford American Dictionary, is "a curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. Fractals are useful in modeling structures (such as eroded coastlines or snowflakes) in which similar patterns recur at progressively smaller scales." Though I am much too imprecise to accurately recreate a fractal pattern on my nails, I attempted to make a pattern that would convey the complexity of nature's abilities at least to some extent! i love intricate patterns in nail art and I am glad I got to try this out! What do you think?

[The polishes used in this design are Sally Hansen's "White On" (white) and Orly Instant Artist in black.]

Thanks for viewing! :)

31 Day Challenge: Day 23 "Inspired by Nature"

For Day 23 of the challenge, "Inspired by Nature," I couldn't wait to make some galaxy nail designs! I have been reading "Dark Side of the Universe" and was inspired to pursue this design. I found one of the full page pictures taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and after painting the pinky nail, started to freestyle sponge on some space-like masses. Overall, I think they came out pretty well, and I'll be excited to try something like this again! What do you think?

Thanks for viewing :)
