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.

Glitter Daze Prima Donna's Glitter Placement

I'm here with day 16 of Chalkboard Nails 31 Day Challenge 2014, glitter. For this challenge, I decided I wanted to try something new - glitter placement.

Graffiti Love Skittle

Today I have a fun, despite old, nail look I actually wore back in February. I call it Graffiti Love because it's got glitter, gradients, stamping, and more; oh, and I absolutely loved wearing them!

'80s Reloaded Skittle

Dudes and Dudettes! Today I have a phat manicure from my archives inspired by Glitter Daze Reloaded and the '80s <- when I was lucky enough to be born. Added bonus, lucky was Lacquer Legions prompt for today. Aside from a few bogus mishaps (I could not find my excellent stamper), I truly dig how my nails turned out. Honestly, who doesn't love a totally radical throwback!?

Magenta Fetish Skittlette

Hello all! I have finally returned from my vacation, which I had planned to share I was going on with a few posts (this included) but brilliantly left my computer (and in turn photos) behind. I guess life was trying to tell me to stop working so much, if only for a short period of time. All the same, I am glad to be back and sharing a simple, but beautiful manicure featuring a couple polishes from the LVX Winter Resort 2014 Collection.

Best of 2013

Hello again! What better way to start off a new year of nail art than reflecting over my favorite designs from the previous!? So, I scrounged through my archives and found my top twelve (with some help from you, my readers, and your wonderful comments/likes/repins/etc.). Without further ado, here they are in no particular order...unless you consider my wanting them to look great for the line-up.

Chevron Thanksgiving Gumdrops

Welcome to another catch up posting day for the The Crumpet's 33 Day Challenge. I'm cheating slightly by posting days 29 and 30 together, since they both are to feature the same pattern-chevron in this case. I used MoYou London Pro Collection plate 02 for my chevron image.

 First up I have my Chevron Thanksgiving nails for day 29, my favorite pattern, using some of my new butter LONDON shades. (Pin-able image, base, then nail art.)

Pretty & Polished When Hearts Kaleidoscope

Today I have nail art featuring Pretty & Polished When Hearts Kaleidoscope for day 27 of The Crumpet's 33 Day Challenge. I decided to mix things up by doing my nail art over glitter, and even using the glitter to assist in some of the designs. The three patterns I choice to use were leopard, flowers, and plaid, but before we get to that, I've got photos and a review of this beautiful polish.

31DC2013 : Scofflaw Flotsam & Jetsam

Day 21 of Chalkboard Nails 31 Day Challenge 2013 is inspired by the color  Scofflaw Flotsam & Jetsam. Let me just say I absolutely love this polish!
