French Dotticure over a Subtle Pixie Dust Gradient

And I'm back again with day 11 of Chalkboard Nails 31 Day Challenge 2014, (polka) dots. I decided to layer on top of my beautiful day 10 look which featured a gradient of Zoya Cosmo (silver) & Bar (warm topaz) from the Magical Pixie Dust line.

Green Nimbus Nails

For this weeks GOT Challenge I have concocted gorgeous, green nimbus nails! I haven't used this technique much since I started my blog, but I'm so happy I'm revisiting it!

French Dotticure

I'm really excited to share this manicure with you all today. For the Lacquer Legion's Reinvention challenge I knew I wanted to visit one of my first nail art inspirations, dotting (all of) my polishes on my nails - now I know it's a dotticure - because one or two was never enough. It just so happened the GOT (Golden Oldie Thursday) Challenge for this week is dots; hence they were meant to be paired together!

Sugar Spun New York City Lights

Today's prompt for  The Crumpet's 33 Day Challenge is trying something new. I've been wanting to try out the spun sugar technique for a while now, more or less since my stripers started drying out just enough to cause the effect inadvertently. So for this prompt I decided to make the dragging deliberate and pair it with some pin dots. I must say I'm thrilled with the results. I also used a new polish I received in a mystery grab bag from Pretty & Polished called New York City Lights, which I will review for you below.

31DC2013 : Matrix Nails

Today marks day 23 of Chalkboard Nails 31 Day Challenge 2013 and the start of The Crumpet's 33 Day Challenge. So today I have a combo manicure that is a dotted print of The Matrix (movie).

31DC2013 : Polka Dots Meet butter LONDON Rainbow Gradient

Day 11 of Chalkboard Nails 31 Day Challenge 2013 is here with polka dot nails. I decided to apply polka dots to my butter LONDON rainbow gradient nails from yesterday, and I really like how they turned out.

"A" is for Argyle

For week one of the "ABC" Challenge, hosted by Erica's Nails and More, I went a little overboard with my "A" is for Assorted Argyle Art. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do, nor had I ever tried to do argyle nail art, so I choice to make each nail a little different to aid in my decision making for next time. Thanks to this, you'll have to forgive the not all so lovely test nails. Please let me know which nail(s) you like best; for me it's definitely my thumbs (which unfortunately I chipped before photographing and had to touch up).
