31 Days Challenge #6 - Violet

I have a confession to make...this one was done in a hurry, I wanted to go to the beach this afternoon, but I had to paint my nails before going. I tried to stamp, but it didn't work that well, so today I have something really simple. :S

I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Good to Grape and 2 coats of Catrice Forget-Me-Not on my accent nail. Both of these polishes have great formulas, I used Good to Grape on my toes several times already, and it never disappoints. Forget-Me-Not also stamps really well.




What does everyone think about my nubbins? I feel so weird without my longer nails, but my ring fingernail has a major breakage ("fixed" with the tea bag method) and so low that I can't file it all the way down, then I broke a corner on the nail of my pointer finger...had no choice but to chop them down.

31 Days Challenge #5 - Blue

Doing this challenge has been really hard so far. I'm at my parents house for the month of August, close to all my friends, family and my boyfriend, and because of that I keep going out and having lots of fun and little to no time to do this properly, but I'm trying my best!

For today, I have a repeat combination, but in a differet way. Once again, I paired up Up Colors Azul Disco and Eyeko Rain and this is what came out of that:




The stamp was done with Kiss Nail Art in Black, using a m57 plate, by Konad.

Tomorrow I'll be sporting some nubs again, I broke the corner of one of my nails... -.-' Oh well, nothing I can do about it, and I think they still look cute while short. ^^

31 Days Challenge #4 - Green


Quick post because I'm on my way out (AGAIN!!). xD

Here's my green! 2 perfect coats of Essence Bashful stamped with Peripera P027, using my DRK-B.









31 Day Challenge #3 - Yellow

Oh boy....I'm so late with this one!
I painted my nails 3 times yesterday, just so I could breathe for a few days and not have to do it every day, but then I went out mid afternoon and only came back at 4am. How was I supposed to put a post up at that time? xD

I hate painting my nails yellow, just because yellow is such a hard colour. It's always streaky and hard to apply...Even if I like the final result, it's always a colour that I tend to stay away from. This one wasn't any easier...

I used 3 coats of Basic #461 and the the leaves and flowers are temporary tattoos I had here at the house, from when I was little.




Need to start playing more with temporary tattoos!

31 Days Nail Challenge #2 - Orange

Peach is orange too, right? RIGHT?? You better agree with me because I had no other orange to show you, you wouldn't want to see the same one for the 3rd time now, would you? xD

This is Kiko 358, it has a nice soft shade of peach, but in some lights it can be really bright and more on the orange side (which is what you will see here). As always, Kiko has an excellent formula and this was perfect in 2 coats, then I stamped with Kiss Nail Art in White, using my DRK-B (I'm addicted to it now!).




Apparently, I stamp differently than everyone else, but I can't help it, I like my designs to face me, not other people!
I wasn't really happy with these, but when the cashier at a store told me she loved them and even asked me if these were my real nails, I started loving them too. xD

And now you'll have to excuse me, I still need to paint my nails yellow for tomorrow. At 1:15am...yep, I'm awesome. :P

31 Day Challenge #1 - Red Nails

I've started another challenge! Some bloggers and I got together on Facebook and decided to take this challenge, so for the next 30 days, for better or worse, we're stuck with each other! It's going to be a long and fun journey. :P


We start with red and this is what I used:


I started with a coat of Risqué Carmim, this one looks like a jelly but it covers with just one coat, then I applied a coat of Barielle Elle's Spell and, finally, stamped with my DRK-B using Kiss Nail Art Paint in Black. I didn't want all my nails to look the same, so I stamped random parts of the image on random places of my nails. 





My stamping is far from perfect (I'm still trying to get the hang of it), it turned out okay on some nails, not so great on the others, but overall, I'm quite happy with this look (even though I was considering it a fail last night), and Barielle Elle's Spell is so stunning!
