Day 9 - Recreate your favorite - Erica's Nails and More February Challenge

Here it is everyone, we are finally (sadly) at the last day of the challenge. I really enjoy doing nail art challenges and get kind of sad once they are over. All good things must come to an end though. 

So today's theme is pretty wide open - recreate your favorite. I knew right away I wanted to recreate someone else's manicure during the challenge and not my own. I was stuck between a few of them - there were that many great ones!

 I ultimately decided to recreate Polished Potential's half moon manicure and added a twist of my own. You can check out her awesome half moon manicure here.

I love, love, love how these turned out! I will be doing it again for sure! I have gotten so many compliments on it so far.

I used:

Sinful Colors - Mint Apple

Sinful Colors - Snow Me White (Half moon and stamping)

Mash - 42 Stamping Plate

Half Moon - Erica's February Challenge Day 2

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was pretty laid back, got some cleaning done and had game night over at my sister in law's. So tonight I have for you half moons. I don't know why I don't do these more often. They are fairly simple to do if you are patient - I was not this time. I used the hole reinforcement stickers and I had terrible placement so I had to freehand to try and get them all even. They are a good starting guide but I can never get them to be even.

I wanted a color combo that would really pop and I think that I chose well. I am not sure I will do the black on top again because I feel like it shows my flaws in my different shaped nails - but that's just my personal preference. 

I used:

China Glaze - Naked

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Black Out

HK Girl Top Coat

Check out what is to come this month and below that check out all the other half moon manicures out there! They are looking great!

Red and Green - SMYTC Holiday Challenge

Happy December everyone!! I can't believe it's already December and Christmas is right around the corner. I still have to do my Christmas shopping for everyone! 

So I decided to try and squeeze this challenge in this month along with all the other busy things in December. I decided to join because I had so much fun in the last challenge and I wanted to try my hand at holiday nail art. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays so this just made sense to me.

Today's theme is Red and Green. I decided to do semi half moons on my nails because I didn't want to cover all the beauty China Glaze's Ruby Pumps produced on my nails. I can't believe this is my first time using it! I usually don't like red on my nails but I fell in LOVE!

So here is day 1

I think it looks a little funny over green because the accent nail is so much deeper red then the other nails but oh well! I still really like it!

I used China Glaze Ruby Pumps and Wet n Wild Fast Dry SaGreena The Teenage Witch. Top coat was HK Girl fast dry shiny top coat! Which I love by the way!

Here is a preview of the rest of the challenge days!

Have a great weekend everyone!

November Nail Art Challenge - Day 5

Getting my post done early  well on time! I had a hair up my butt to try and get this done tonight. I am going to try and get some more nail art done this week because next week I am going to Indiana to spend Thanksgiving with my Mom and my Sister. 


Day 5 of the challenge is half moons. When I looked at pictures online I thought these were really ugly. Once I did them to myself... eh not so bad. I might actually do them again to my nails. It was my first time doing this type of nail art. Not too bad for my first time. 

I am not sure if I have an orb or a fleck of something on my camera lens so I apologize for the spot on the pictures. I also really need to make a light box! 

So here it is - 

(My ring finger.. not sure what happened.. my guess I put the sticker on wrong.)

For the bottom color I used Nicole OPI - Khloe had a little Lam-Lam and the top I used Sinful Colors Slate which I adore!

Here is the remaining challenges left
