31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 24: Inspired by a Book

Happy Sunday lacquerheads! Today's theme was such a tough one for me--inspired by a book. I RARELY read. I was so close to doing children's books like so many who have done the challenge before me or even copping out by painting my nails different shades of gray (for the book Fifty Shades of Gray). After surfing the web and going through my plates for some inspiration, I finally landed on Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll. Here's what I used:

• Index: Zoya Purity stamped using BM 311 in Konad Red, then stamped using BM 302 in MASH Black 
• Middle: China Glaze Starboard stamped using MASH 32 in China Glaze Passion
• Ring: China Glaze Happy Go Lucky stamped using Konad M65 in Konad White, then stamped using BM 302 in Konad Red and Konad Green
• Pinky: China Glaze Dance Baby stamped using MASH 46 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lively Lilac. 

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 23: Inspired by a Movie

Hi beauties! Today's theme is 'inspired by a movie.' I watch tons of movies so I actually didn't have any trouble with inspiration like the other 'inspired' days. Plus my new 2012 Bundle Monster plates arrived yesterday and it had perfect images I could use so that made today even easier. The movie I used as my inspiration is Mean Girls. It's the movie that invented Pink Wednesdays for nails so I'm hoping most of you have seen the movie. Ok so here's what I used: (index) Zoya Shelby stamped with BM 223 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Presto Pink, then stamped using BM 307 in Konad Black / (middle) China Glaze Sugar High stamped using BM 303 in Konad Red / (ring) Zoya Shay with rhinestones / (pinky) Zoya Shelby stamped using BM 221 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Presto Pink, then stamped using BM 213 in Konad Black. Sorry for the long list, here are the pics!

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 22: Inspired by a Song

Happy Friday! Today's theme is inspired by a song. I had to look up a couple videos and lyrics to start getting some inspiration, but I found it! I chose to do my nails inspired by Katy Perry's "California Gurls." I mostly got my inspiration from stuff in the music video. You can watch it here. I used a bunch of stuff. I think the most I've ever used in one mani so I'll just tell you that I stamped using Konad Q1 (cupcakes and icecream), Konad M17 (letters), and Red Angel RA 110 (heart and half moon swirl).

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 21: Inspired by a Color

Hey loves. Today's theme is inspired by a color. I ran into the same problem as a lot of other bloggers who have already done the challenge--lack of inspiration! The theme is left to interpretation and I really am a black and white kinda gal. I decided to use the name of a nail polish color as my inspiration. I went with China Glaze Pink Voltage and did some double lightning bolts using the tutorial here from Jane at Nailside. Get it, pink voltage? Lol. The colors I used are China Glaze Pink Voltage, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep, and OPI Black Onyx. I did have an issue doing this mani. Pink voltage is a neon and dried matte. I must have not used topcoat all the way to the sides and when I removed the tape, polish started coming off on the sides =[ Anyways, lesson learned: don't use a matte polish for this tutorial.
