31 day challengeL Gradient nails

 Hi y'all! We're back again today to continue the 31 day challenge! Today's theme for the challenge is gradient nails. I wanted something bright and fun to counter act all the rain we've been having lately! I hate it as it is, but it's definitely getting old now. 

For these I decided on doing a circle gradient because.. it was a little different than the usual gradient. Plus, I've never done one before, so I also get to try something new at the same time. Fun, right? Right! 

For these I started with a base of Sinful Colors Snow Me White and then I used Broadway nails Sunflower and LA Colors in Pumpin' Pink and Flicker to do the gradient. Just painted all the colors on a make up sponge and sponged them on. I wasn't too happy with how they turned out - this technique needs a lot of practice, but I think it was okay for a first try. 

Annnd just for fun! I haven't shown you guys Valentina in a while. This is what we call a "Dead Bunny Flop" and Tina is an EXPERT at them. Imagine walking into the room and seeing that and getting no response whatsoever because bunny is in a super deep sleep. 

It's heart attack inducing. I'm not even kidding. I freak out every single time. 

Then she lifts and ear, or twitches her nose. Or her favorite, chewing or washing her face in her sleep which I guess she must be dreaming about eating or something and I take a great big deep breathe and go 'omg okay your fine' and she looks at me like 'wtf mom I was comfy and tired. now go away'

31 day challenge: Rainbow nails

Hi y'all! We're back to the 31 Day Challenge now! Today's theme is rainbow nails and I had to do something extra special with them. I made them into a Rainbow Bridge theme and added a little bunny silhouette to represent my Foofy bun. I still miss her crazy butt all the time and it seemed like a good way to show I was still thinking about her. 

These were super fun and easy to do. You'll be able to find a tutorial up on my YouTube channel so head over there to see that!

I started these off with NYC Skyline Blue for the base color. The rest of the colors a re all acrylic paints and it was pretty easy. I wanted the rainbow to look like it was going across all of my nails. Then on the ring finger I painted my little bunny silhouette. It was suppose to be from behind the bunny.. like shes looking towards the rainbow. This I used Wet N Wild Kaleidoscope and put a very light coat over the rainbow on all nails except the accent, on that one I put it over the bunny. Just to add a little bit of sparkle!

31 day challenge: Black and White

Hi y'all! I have another part of the 31 day challenge for you all today! The theme this time is black and white. I decided to keep it pretty simple and I love so much how these came out. 

This will also be the last post for a while with all natural nails :( I'll explain that in the next post where I try a new type of post. 

Anyways, onto these nails! I started with Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris as my base with Sinful Colors Snow Me White as the base for the accent nail. Any black or white will work the same. 

For the black nails, I made flowers. These were so easy and simple! First, I made the flower shape with a dotting tool and white acrylic paint. Polish will work just the same for this, I just prefer the paint. Next, I used black acrylic paint and a slightly smaller dotting too to make the same shape inside the white one. I left just enough of the white showing to make it look like an outline. Then I dotted white in the center of the flower and put a few dots where the nails looked too empty. 

For the white nails, I used black acrylic paint and a detail brush and just made random triangle shapes all over the nails. I thought these turned out super cute!

31 day challenge: Purple nails + bornprettystore review!

Hi y'all! Today I have some more nail art for you all! The next them in the 31 day challenge is purple nails. This is also a double post to review a stamping plate I got from born pretty store. Which was so much fun and so easy to work with.

For these nails I kept it super simple. I used Wet N Wild Who Is Ultra Violet? and Konad black stamping polish. I just used let the base color dry. Then I stamped over it with the stamping polish and nail stamper.

The plate was really awesome! So cute and so fun to use. I like how these turned out so much!

If you would like to grab this plate for yourself, they sell right here for $5.99.

31 day challenge: Blue nails!

 Hi ya'll! I have some more nail art for the 31 day challenge to share with you all today! These were a lot of fun to do and they follow the 'blue' prompt. I looove blue so I was so excited to work with a blue nail base. 

Has anyone seen this commercial? Surely you have, but this is the best screenshot I could find/get from it, of the item I was after. These nails were inspired by the dress in this commercial. I just LOVE blue and orange together and when I seen this dress I just HAD to do nails like that, perfect fo the blue nail theme too, right? 

For these nails I used Wet N Wild Chambray Showers And Listening ToBlue Reed, as well as Sinful Colors Snow Me White the base color is Chambray showers then I randomly dotted all three colors on a make up sponge and sponged over the nail to get a bit of a textured look. More depth to the look if you will. The flowers were done with Acrylic paint, orange and yellow and various mixes of those two colors to get the shade I wanted for them. Then the centers are dotted in with LA Colors Cactus and I just LOVE how all of these look! So much fun! And I'm getting so much better and more confident in my flowers. Mostly just super duper simple type flowers, but either way, they are flowers and they don't look horrible!

31 day challenge: green nails

Hi y'all! Ignore that my top coat wrinkled -_- I swear it was dry and then I touched it wrong and nope. It was most definitely NOT dry. Huge fail. Today is the green nails theme for the 31 day challenge, and I some kiwi nail art for it! I've never done kiwi nails before but I've been wanting to for a long time, so the perfect excuse to do it, right?! Right!  Anyways. 

For this look I used Sally Hansen Green With Envy for the green polish base, then the rest is acrylic paint. I used a slightly darker green, then white over that, and black for the small seeds. All of it was done with a detail brush.

31 day challenge: Yellow nails!

Hi y'all! I'm back again with my yellow nails for the 31 day challenge! I decided on spring-y bumble bees, which I've done before, but I like the way these have turned out much better! It's a little weird doing this challenge all on my own, but it usually turns out that way anyways. It seems no one wants to do challenges or anything else with me BIG FAT SAD FACE. 

Anyways. For my yellow nails I used LA Colors Daisy and for the accent nail I used Sally Hansen Breezy Blue and everything else was done with acrylic paint and a detail brush. These were super fun and so easy to do!
