And thank goodness for that! Hi everyone! It's a gorgeous Sunday here with the sun out and a lovely 63 degrees. I'm not outside though, I'm inside watching football! Packers play this afternoon and we grilling up some steaks for the game!
I'm so glad this challenge is almost over! I'm going to have double duty tomorrow posting a recreated mani AND starting my nail Crumpet Nail Tart Halloween challenge.
But today is all about the tutorial for day 30 of the 31 Day Challenge. For my tutorial I went with one by Miss 80 Million. I watched a lot of her stamping videos on youtube when I was first starting and between her and Soguesswhat11 I guess a stamping star is born lol!
Here's my Miss 80 Million Herringbone!
I'm happy with it despite some of my lines getting a bit thick.
This is a SUPER cool look using BM201 and a striping brush!
In case you'd like to recreate this mani please visit Miss 80 Million's youtube tutorial! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvZGQMJysNA&list=FLzPavqkLCko-ySvwlpldJ3w&index=2&feature=plpp_video
Tomorrow is the last freaking day of this challenge and I, for one, cannot wait. Remember if I try to pull this crap next year tell me to knock it off!
I hope you have a great day! Hope to see you tomorrow!
Hi Everyone! OMG I was out shopping all day with my mom so I barely had time to come up with day 29 in the 31 Day Challenge! Today's theme is supernatural AND I wanted to do an awesome wicked dragon but a certain someone I won't name *cough* Kayla Shevonne *cough* beat me to it! Why does that gurl have to be do so ding dang good?! WHY?
Anyway I did manage to come up with something! Here's my Supernatural mani!
These are all the fairies on the 1st Red Angel set WITH wings over one of my frankens Ringo. I think it turned out quite lovely!
This challenge is almost over (thank God) what's up for tomorrow?
Tutorial! I know just the one I have in mind!
Hope you're having a great weekend!
Hi Everyone! Thank God it's Friday!! AND this challenge is almost freaking over! Today's theme in the 31 Day Challenge is flag. WOW there a like a zillion flags out there I could have done. Honestly I just didn't feel the inclination to look at all of them and try to do justice to some country's flag. Sooooo I decided to do another well known flag
I wish I could say I know more about this flag other than it's the checkered flag but I really don't. I don't watch Nascar--never have, probably never will.
This is a pretty fun mani though and if you stare at it long enough your eyes start to go wonky!
Only a couple more days of this thing! What's up for tomorrow?
Oooooh Supernatural! I wish there was a way for me to get some of the hunky supernatural heroes Cynthia Eden writes about on my nails! I guess we'll have to see what I can do instead LOL!
Have a great day!!!
Hi Everyone! Wow today's theme in the 31 Day Challenge was a toughie for me! Today is artwork and let's face it, I can't make art work. PERIOD. I wasn't good at it as a child, I'm not good at it now. I can't draw so I really had bupkiss for today
Then I got to thinking that they only thing I do know how to do is stick people and probably some doodles. BUT stick people and doodles is how we all first learn to draw therefore it IS artwork LOL!
Here's my lovely "artwork" for today
Of course I didn't draw these either instead used some images from Cheeky to come up with a child's drawing.
I sure hope tomorrow's theme is better than artwork for crying out loud!
Hmm flag that one should be pretty easy--at least I can hope.
The days are winding down and I, for one, am glad. There is just no way I'm doing this again next year! Please remind me I said that if I go crazy and try to do it again!
Thanks for stopping! Have a great day!
Hi Everyone! Happy hump day! Today is day 26 in the 31 Day Challenge and the theme is inspired by a pattern. I was really trying to rack my brain for a great pattern when it dawned on me--I STAMP! Almost every design I wear is a pattern lol! I've been lamenting all the plates I have which I haven't used so I hauled em out and looked through them to come up with an untried. And since I went to the trouble of a stamping plate untried I decided to haul out a polish untried. I snagged Revlon's Facets of Fuchsia which is the Lippmann Bad Romance dupe and honestly all I could think of was WHY HAVE I OWNED THIS FOR A YEAR AND NEVER WORN IT?
For today's theme of pattern I chose a diamond design over Facets of Fuchsia
I just love, love, LOVE how this turned out!
I did a layer of black, two coats of Facet of Fuchsia and then stamped using Peripera 044. I love the Peripera polishes because they are opaque in a coat therefore perfect for stamping!
I chose the the diamond like image from Cheeky XL B. I'm a huge fan of the Cheeky XL plates but the small round ones not so much.
You know what I wish? To any indie polish makers out there reading this I'd love a color just like Facets with a sheer black base BUT with aqua, teal and gold diamond shape glitters in it! OMG can you image the perfection a mermaid tail mani would be if that polish existed????!!!!!!
We're nearly done with this challenge (thank God) so I wonder what's up for tomorrow?
Hmmm artwork that might really suck because I just can't draw!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Everyone!
Today is a rare treat--okay since I'm not that good it might not really be a treat but today is some freehand art lol! It's day 25 in the 31 Day Challenge so fashion is up. As I said yesterday I'm not very fashionable BUT there are many fashionable things I love--one of them is . . .
Corset Nails!
Who doesn't love hot pink and black together???!!!!
BTW the little dots are supposed to be ruffles! No way in h e double hockey sticks can I re-create a Robin Moses corset mani LOL!
I hope tomorrow is something easier! Free hand is hard!
A pattern--okay I might be able to swing this--tune it tomorrow to see if I do lol!
Thanks for stopping by!!! Have a great day!!
Hi Everyone! Happy Monday! Well I hope it's happier for everyone than it is for me! Friday I had to leave my car at work because it wasn't driving right at all. Saturday my fab brother in law checked it out and my passenger side rear wheel is locked! LOCKED! Why I do not know, I only know the ding dang thing is. It's going to the mechanic today for him to look at--hopefully it's not one of those oh oh this will cost you eleventy billion dollars to fix issues.
Good thing I worked all the overtime last week LOL!
Today is day 24 in the 31 Day Challenge and the theme today is based on a book. Wellllllll I'm a HUGE romance reader--romance of all genres from sweet to erotica, historical, westerns, paranormal, romantic suspense and contemporary. I read em all! One of my favorite authors is Toni Blake--her Letter's To A Secret Lover is a reread for me AND it makes me cry. But here's a fun fact about Toni--she's also erotic author Lacey Alexander and her erotica is just as fabulous as her contemporary romance! GO FIGURE! One of my favorite books by Lacey Alexander is The Bikini Diaries. I decided to do my book mani by copying the book cover
It's a bit weird having neon nails on in Fall lol!
If you're a fan of "hot" romance and you haven't picked anything up by Lacey Alexander yet DO IT! She is fabulous! And if you love contemporary romance with a bit of heat pick up anything and everything by Toni Blake, especially Letters To A Secret Lover.
What's up for tomorrow?
Hmmm fashion--I'm not too fashionable so I hope I can come up with something!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
