Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Animal Print

Hello lovely readers!

I see I have quite a few new followers, and the question I asked for one of my giveaways was what do you want to see more of. I got a lot of responses saying tutorials so here is my first ever tutorial! It's simple and hopefully easy to follow so why not give it a try!

And since today is the Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge hosted by Rambles of a Polish Addict, I guess I'm just being hella efficient! These spottys remind me of snake skin, so I guess that's what I'll call these little guys. 

I loved this mani because the spots were pretty nicely rounded and the eraser worked wonderfully as a large dotting tool! The Zoya I used was Charla and the Black was Maybelline - Twilight Rays

See you all on sunday bunday!

p.s. This weekend I'll be doing some overhaulin' to my site because I can never seem to settle on a design for too long, so if anything looks wonky or weird it's because of this!

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge Day 11 - Polka Dots

Hello all!

Today is day eleven in the ER31DC! That means today is polka spots/dots!

It was also really sunny today so I was able to take my pictures in the sun!

I sort of just grabbed for polishes that looked good together and this was the result!

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Rainbow Nails

Hi all!

I'm a little (okey, really) late in posting today! I usually post really early in the mornings when I'm up because I'm a major night owl but for some reason it completely slipped my mind last night/this morning!

Anyway, for the ER31DC this week/day, is rainbow nails!

Warning : The design that follows may or may not include designs that occurred at random!

Once again I've used a plethora of colors!

I definitely enjoy this day of Rainbow nails!

Polka Spots and Harvey!

Happy Sunday Bunday everyone!

Poor little Harvey had his vet appointment this past Wednesday for a wellness exam and a nail trim and I'm happy to say all is well with the bun bun. He just HATED to be picked up, he was so scared!

Here's a picture of him at his vet being scared by some pamphlets. 

His little nails were trimmed in this pic! You can see how long they were before compared to this pic!

Now on to the nails!

I just got shipped a new ipad case and it was a pretty blue polka spot pattern so I decided to be inspired by that, seeing as I already had China Glaze - For Audrey on my nails, it matched perfectly!

I had a few bubbles that I just noticed now! I was so mad, I found my dotting tool a day after this! It was on the window sill. How it got there? Nobody knows.

I used the end of a paintbrush for these!

Have a Happy Sunday Bunday

Polka Spots

Hi everyone!

I'm racing the clock because I completely blanked on an idea for today's mani!

Then I remembered Sophie was having a competition that involved polka spots and the randomness began!

I also went on a huge China Glaze haul today because Sally's is having a buy 2 get 1 free through the month of April.

So here it is!

The colors I used in rainbow order were :

China Glaze - Passion for Petals

China Glaze - Celtic Sun

China Glaze - For Audrey

China Glaze - Fancy Pants

I also had a random easter egg laying around that sort of matched and this happened :

I love my little polka spots!

St. Paddy's Day Mani

Sooo, I heard a certain Holiday is happening this Sunday!

I may not be a lick of Irish, but I do enjoy a nice green Holiday. It gives me an excuse to do a green Mani!

For some reason this just SCREAMED St. Paddy's Day to me. 

This green is 2 coats of Elf  from the Beautifully Bright 3 piece set. with a coat of Seche on top. It doesn't have a name on it unfortunately. Since I'm such a master namer I think I'll name it Green.. OOO! No! St. Paddy's Green! Yeah, that's better!

In the bottle it looks like such a bright green, but on the nails and in the pictures it looks more of a turquoise/forest green. Hmph, it's still bright green to me!

The silver is Wet n Wild - Silvivor .

This is the first time I saw the name Silvivor which means I probably haven't swatched it yet but it's such a cute name!

And here is St. Paddy's Green on its own :

I held my hand at a really awkward angle but thank goodness for cropping!

This is with a basecoat and without Seche Vite.

So whoever celebrates St. Paddy's, have fun this Sunday! Meanwhile I'll probably be curled up with my bunny, Harvey, and i'll be reading a book (or a nice gossip magazine!)

Valentine's Day Mani Finale!

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day everybody! Even if you don't celebrate Valentne's Day, these Manis should still make you as cheery as if you did!

I have not one, not two, but THREE Valentine's treats for you all.

Here is your first treat :

I used a buttload of colors here and used a dotting tool to sprinkle the pinks on.

The pinks I used from lightest to darkest were :

Color Club - Blushing Rose

Ulta - Flamingo

Santee - Flower Pink

Lycra - Pink Punk

Santee - Fusion Pink

Rimmel - Stop Traffic

I then took a small brush and used Wet n Wild - Ebony Hates Chris to outline the black heart and finished it off with Kleancolor - Madly Matte.

Overall I think this one turned out OK, it wasn't what I envisioned in my head and the Matte made it turn out all lumpy, but oh well.

Your next treat is my favorite :

I got the inspiration for this one from the Hello Kitty cookie jar that my Mom got me for christmas.

For the pink I used Lycra - Pink Punk Sinful and I used Sinful Colors - Snow Me White with a dotting tool for the dots and hearts.

This is the Mani I'm sportin' for Valentine's Day, it's a lot brighter in person.

I finished this off with a coat of Seche Vite.

And your last, but not least treat is one that I did on my friend Tiana. She came up to me and asked me for a Valentine's Day Mani that was "like mine, but not." This is what we came up with :

I like that this one was simple yet cute. I'm especially surprised that I was able to get the heart on her ring finger so even! I used the same colors as mine,  Lycra - Pink Punk Sinful and Sinful Colors - Snow Me White. 

Once again, Have a Happy Valentine's Day! I just got my first Shimmer nail polish today and have some nail art plans in mind for it coming up next week. 

Also, Thank you very much to Kat Stays Polished for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award. I'll follow the rules and get that post up tomorrow!
