Hi Everyone!!! Happy Tuesday! We had some snow here yesterday! It actually snowed for a very long time but none of it stuck to the ground. It was a pain scraping off the crusty car that sat in the parking lot at work all day though! So our first snow--and that can mean only one thing--more to come!
When we first discussed this challenge one of the things we discussed was the actual black and white theme. Should it only be black and white? Can you do shades of black or white--can you survive on an entire week of just black and white? The consensus--as always--is just be your own person, do your own thing--what is black and white to you.
So today I'm a rebel! I decided to brighten up that snowy day with a little black and white!
Now this is a mani you wear to greet a snowy day!!
I really love the contrast of the pretty flowers to the black and white
And when it comes to nail art you can't get much easier than this!
I wonder if I'm the only rebel? Or did someone else dare to be bold?!
Hi Everyone!!! Happy Hump Day! Halfway into the week and so far so good. The weekend is coming up fast and it looks like it's going to be mine all mine! If the weather is nice and by nice I mean not cold or rainy we may check out a haunted house.
It's been chilly here. Yesterday morning there was frost on the car in the morning. UG frost on the car means snow is definitely in the near future. I'm going to have to manage my time between manicures and crocheting some wrist warmers, hats, mittens and a blanket LOL. I like the crochet blankets in the Fall and Winter because it keeps you warm as you work on it.
Today I've got a nice and easy mani. The end result is a dramatic without any fuss at all!
I painted most of my nails with Kiko 646 a lovely black and silver textured polish and then did some accents with just black and dried flowers.
I think the flowers look perfect with a black backdrop
Easy nail art but really pretty!
Thanks for stopping by!!! I hope everyone has a great hump day!
Hi Everyone! Today's theme in the Crumpet Nail Tart's 31 Day Challenge is Inspired By Nature. This mani all came about because of how bitterly cold it is here! This morning I didn't want to get out of bed because it was minus 2 outside with a wind chill factor of minus 20! OH MY GAH! here we were thinking we were going to have an easy winter and BAM freeze fest! Yesterday when I was thinking about what to do for inspired by nature I thought about doing another ho ho gradient with maybe a horse in the sunset. Why I don't know. Truth is I'm afraid of horses. I don't mind petting them but there is no way I'm riding on one.
So because I was way too cold to get out of bed and face the cold day I lay there thinking about what I could do for inspired by Nature. Lord knows I could have done snowflakes but instead I remembered a little box of dried flowers I got awhile ago and never used. And TA DA a mani is born!
I used the lovely A England Bridal Veil and one of my favorite red's OPI Wocka! Wocka! for this beauty
i really love the look of this dried flower on here! I should have used it for my texture day!
I stamped with BM323 and DRK-A for the ring and thumb
I really love how this turned out! There is just something so gorgeous about red and black together.
We're almost done with this challenge! I can't believe it, this one really wasn't as hard as the last one. Let's see what's in store for tomorrow!
Inspired by a game--hmmmm I hope I can come up with something good for that one!
What has Nature inspired in my fellow Tartlet's??
