31 Manicure Challenge: #9 (Rainbow Nails)

I'm back again! Today's post is for manicure nine of the challenge, which is rainbow nails! I decided to try out a nail art technique that I have not yet done. So for this manicure, I used the spun sugar technique with rainbow colors on top of a white base. enjoy :)

I started this manicure with Butter London Cotton Buds, then I did the spun sugar art. The colors I used (in order from red to purple) are ULTA Red Carpet Red, Essie Braziliant, ULTA Sun-Sational, ULTA Limelight, ULTA Blue Streak, and A-England Elaine. 

31 Manicure Challenge: #8 (Metallic Nails)

Hello everyone!! No, I have not died... I just got really busy and kind of lost the motivation and inspiration to create new manicures for this blog. So sorry for the long absence (if anyone still visits this blog). Tonight's post is the 8th manicure in the 31 manicure challenge that I started like six months ago... this one is metallic nails, and for the life of me I could not think of what to do for this one!! I was finally inspired when having a Grey's Anatomy marathon with my roommate. enjoy! :)

So for this manicure I started with Essie Aruba Blue, then I sponged on ULTA Alter Ego and A-England Merlin. Then I added the heart monitor lines using a striping brush A-England Perceval. 

Well thanks for stopping by to check out this post, I'll try my best not to make it another five months before I post again haha. xoxo

31 Manicure Challenge: #7 (Black & White Nails)

Hello everybody! I know it's been a really long time since my last post, but this semester has been CRAZY busy! I guess that's what happens during your senior year of college haha. I hope all of you guys are doing well and are ready to enjoy this Black & White manicure challenge I have prepared for you!

I was watching the show "Fringe" while I was thinking of what to do for this challenge and fingerprints popped into my head! The white color is OPI Alpine Snow and the black color is Revlon Black Satin. And yes those are my real fingerprints on my nails haha. I know this manicure isn't very "cute", but it was new and different and I think they turned out pretty cool! Let me know what you think in the reactions/comments below! Thanks for stopping by!

PS: I just noticed that this is my 100th post on this blog!!  :)

31 Manicure Challenge: #6 (Violet Nails)

Today I am posting the purple challenge! I'm really excited about this one because it was my first time successfully using striping tape! I hope you guys enjoy it too :)

The solid purple color is OPI Planks A Lot (bottle featured here). The base coat on the accent nails is Orly Au Champagne. After the base coat was dry, I used the striping tape I ordered from bornprettystore.com and painted on the purples. From lightest to darkest these colors are: Essie Lilacism, OPI Planks A Lot, ULTA Celebutant, and A-England Elaine.

The bottle in the picture below is the darkest of the purples (A-England Elaine).

31 Manicure Nail Challenge: #5 (Blue Nails)

Hello everybody! So this manicure sort of has a duel purpose. It is blue so it fits in with the fifth manicure challenge, and it is also themed! My sister, my Mom and I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium this weekend, and this manicure features the aquarium logo, and some sequins that represent the anchovies (my mom likes how they swim in schools together). I hope you enjoy it :)

The blue color is Essie Avenue Maintain, and the white is OPI Alpine Snow. The diamond sequins (anchovies) are from bornprettystore.com and I printed the logo out on paper and cut it out and stuck it on the wet polish. Below is the logo I used and my picture of inspiration. Don't forget to let me know what you think in the comments and/or reactions below! Thanks for stopping by!

31 Manicure Challenge: #4 (Green Nails)

Hello everyone!! It is so great to finally get back to painting my nails and sharing and social networking with all of you! I really have missed this. This is the green nails challenge, and I'm sorry to say it's not very imaginative or creative. I was really having a bit of a creativity block with this one (I always seem to have a difficult time with green). Hopefully the next manicure will be much more exciting for you guys, but I hope you enjoy this one anyway :) I have created a second Instagram account exclusively for my nail pictures so those of you that were following me before, I have changed the name on that account. If you would like to continue seeing my nail polish pictures on Instagram, and not random pictures from the rest of my life, follow me!! Passionnforpolishh Now on to the pictures, thanks for stopping by everybody! 

So this manicure started with Essie Going Incognito, then I sponged on some A-England Saint George (which may be one of my favorite colors ever) this is hard to see under the layering glitter, but in my other pictures you can vaguely see it. I added these multi-chrome blue/green flakies on top; Nfu Oh NFU50. These kept coming off really blue in most of my photos, but trust me I did use green polishes for this challenge.

Thanks again for stopping by! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and Twitter, like my page on Facebook and of course keep checking back here for new pictures! :) Vote for your reaction at the end of the post!
