31 Manicure Challenge: #1 (Red Nails)
So I started with the star of our show A-England Perceval. This is my favorite red in my collection! I love the intensity and the shimmer. Then I stamped on China Glaze Passion on the BM-314 plate. Then I added some dots of Orly Au Champagne to finish it up! I hope you like it!

31 Manicure Challenge: #2 (Orange Nails)
Hello everyone!! It's so good to be back!! I broke a couple of my nails a while back, so I have been waiting for them to grow back enough to where I could create this next post for you guys! enjoy :)
I used Essie Braziliant for my featured orange color, and OPI Alpine Snow for the white. I then used that same orange with the BM308stamping plate to add some orange slices to my orange themed manicure!

Hello again! So I know that these posts are not exactly happening every week as I had originally planned... We are coming up on finals and things have just gotten way too crazy! This week is yellow nails which usually presents a bit of a challenge for me. I really don't like using yellow as a base color for my manicures, but this one turned out alright. enjoy :)
I am so sorry for the messy clean up job!! I watched The Lion King today and was inspired. I started with ULTA Sun-Sational for the base, then I sponged on Essie Braziliant and ULTA Red Carpet Red. I added some freehand painting...yes that is supposed to be a giraffe lol...freehand painting is not my forte. That black polish is Revlon Black Satin. Anyway, that's all for today folks!

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 :)
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.

31 Manicure 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). 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. I hope you enjoy it :)

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 Challenge: #7 (Black & White Nails)
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!

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.
