Reusing a Glitter Gradient

I was feeling lazy and didn’t want to take off a glitter polish. So, instead of taking off the glitter I just patched the nails up and added a pretty red hued coral to the rest of my nails and added a gold glitter dot to them.

To patch up the glitter nails I took a small glob of polish and repainted the free edge to hide any chips and tip wear. Once that was dry I painted a thin coat of glitter to the entire nail. That hid the extra polish at the tips as well as covered up the new nail growth near the cuticle.

Polishes Used:
OPI - My Favorite Ornament
Nicole by OPI - My Sol Shines Brighter

Chronic Gradientitis

Finally, some inspiration! I’ve been having a serious art block for the past few weeks. Annoying!
Anyway, look how awesome this glitter topper from Ellagee is. ♥ This is part of the Fi-bros for life collab. Can’t wait to try out Whack with Poo Brain!

Sock Manicure

Inspired by socks! Yes, socks! That lovely pair that is seen above. I just had to put these on my nails and the way I decided to do it was to do a half moon using NOPI Pros & Confidence and then do each pattern on each hand.

I’m loving this mismatched look!

The 31 Day Challenge

Day 30 - Inspired by: A Tutorial (cindy blogs nails: Nail Art: Owl + Tutorial)

Those owl eyes stare into your soul. I tried to get fancy with my owls and make them watercolor owls…but I failed horribly. I am happy with this though!

I used Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish strips in Girl Flower for my thumb, ring, and pinky.

Essie - Turquoise & Caicos

My Little Pony Nail Polish - Pinkie Pie

31DC13 Day 27 - Peacock Painting

31 Day Challenge

Day 27 - Inspired by: Artwork (This painting of a peacock in my home.)

These took longer to do than I’d like to admit. Haha.

Also loosely inspired by a look by MrCandiipants, distressed nails by Chalkboard Nails, and a tutorial by Nailed it NZ. All of them are amazing.

Oh! I almost forgot. HAPPY 2014!
