Nauti-Roses

After wearing my day 12 nails all day I knew they weren't coming off; therefore, it was time for me to adapt them into my floral day 14 nails in Chalkboard Nails 31 Day Challenge 2014. I love flowers and stripes together, they were even featured together in my very first post. I'd been yearning to do them together again, but just hadn't felt up to the challenge. With the base already on my nails I was half way there...

There's a Kerfuffle over the Herringbone

Now that my picture editor is working (sort of) again I'm backtracking to day 12 of Chalkboard Nails 31 Day Challenge 2014, stripes. Honestly, I drew a complete blank on this one for days because originally I had wanted to do a floral design underneath stripes as if looking through blinds. However, that's too much of an undertaking to put on and remove when I really want to enjoy such labored over nail art. Finally, I settled on nautical stripes with a twist, because I love everything nautical.

Watercolor Seashell Nails

Hello all! Today I bring you day 31 of The Crumpet's 33 Day Challenge, which features artwork with my three favorite colors--butter LONDON HRH and Molly -Coddled, and OPI A Grape Fit! I found this fun seashell art by Artdestiny, which I themed my design around.

Darling Diva's Crabsody In Blue (Underwater)

After swatching Darling Diva's Crabsody In Blue, part of their Back in Black Collection (see swatches and more of the collection here), I knew I had to do some nail art with it. And since my MoYou London plates arrived at the same time they were begging to take on the challenge. This polish reminds me stars dancing on the ocean waters; so what better to accent with than nautical creatures, including "starfish."

Floral Meets Nautical!

As a lover of all things nautical, I'm predisposed to see every item of clothing's inner seafarer. The same can be said for my nail inspirations; and my "modern princess-ballerina"  (i.e. I went to see Snow White the ballet) outfit is no different.

Polishes from left to right- Butter London's Pearly Queen, Jasper, Trout Pout, Molly-Coddled, & HRH; Sally Hansen's Nail Art Pen in Blue; Essie's Butler Please.

I hope you love my floral meets nautical nails as much as I do! I have a feeling I may just do these again. Floral inspiration found here.
