31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 6 (Violet Nails)

This day of the challenge was probably my favorite thus far. I have two gorgeous purples to show you guys; A-England Avalon and OPI DS Temptation!! Avalon is a beautifully deep royal purple with a pink-leaning shimmer, and Temptation is a crazy concoction of glitter that creates a very similar royal purple color. There are also pieces of pink/magenta glitter in there that match the shimmer in Avalon,with bits of blue, silver, green and yellow thrown in for that extra blingy sparkle! :) I wasn't able to capture all of the glittery goodness as it appears to the naked eye, so just trust me, it is one of the sparkliest polishes I have ever seen!!!! Both of these colors are MUST HAVES in my opinion, but don't just take my word for it, take a look at these pictures! enjoy :)


These first three are in a light that brings out the blue tint to these royal purples




The next two are in a yellow light to try to bring out the magenta shimmer and some of the other colors of glitter



This last picture that I have for you guys combines both of the light sources to attempt at giving you the full effect, but sadly it is still better in person :P


THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN FOLLOWING ALONG ON THIS JOURNEY WITH ME THUS FAR!! I HOPE YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE, AS THERE IS MUCH MUCH MORE ON THE WAY!

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 5 (Blue Nails)

Aahhhh!!! This one was so hard because the majority of my polishes are either blue or purple, so it was really really hard for me to choose because they are all so beautiful!! But I chose a blue that I have been really loving recently which is OPI Swimsuit... Nailed It! from their Miss Universe collection :) :) This intensely bright and deep cobalt blue is absolutely gorgeous!! It has an awesome metallic foil-like shimmer, and I just adore this color! I just left this one alone like I did with the green from yesterday because this polish doesn't need any spicing up :) Here are the pictures that I know you are all DYING to see!! enjoy :)

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 3 (Yellow Nails)

Hello all my lovely readers! Today I have completed the third day of the challenge. It was Yellow nails today, and I am not really a fan of yellow nails. They look weird with my skin tone, and yellow polish tends to stain my nails. So today I used the only yellow polish that I own and spiced it up by sponging some gold glitter on the tips. The yellow I used is ULTA Sun-Sational, and the gold glitter I used is OPI Bring on the Bling. Here are some pictures! enjoy :)

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 2 (Orange Nails)

This post is going to be pretty brief, but today I completed Day Two of the Challenge and it was Orange Day! So I used Essie Braziliant for today's manicure. enjoy :)





Here's a picture in a more yellow light, it's less focused, but it is closer to the real color of the polish.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 1 (Red Nails)

So it is finally 2012 which means it is time to start working on the 31 Day Nail Challenge!! Today was Red Nails and I chose to keep it simple using Orly Red Carpet. It was a real challenge trying to capture the micro glitter suspended in this bright red jelly, and unfortunately my nails are pretty nubby right now, but here goes nothing! Day one, complete! enjoy :)
