31DC2016 Day 14 - Delicate Print

I'm pretty sure that in every 31 day challenge I've taken part of, I've done a stamped manicure for the delicate print prompt. I'm not very good at fine detail work when it comes to hand painted designs so stamping is a perfect alternative. Plus, I really enjoy stamping.

31DC2016 Day 12 - Stripes

My initial idea for today's prompt was to go pinstripe crazy with striping tape on all of my nails. Then I decided that I didn't have that kind of time today so I took a simpler approach. I still used striping tape, though, because I can't paint a straight line to save my life.

31DC2016 Day 11 - Polka Dots

We're officially one third of the way through the 31 day challenge. The first third can be a little bit difficult because of the vague nature of the prompts. Also, I try not to use techniques in the first ten days that are also prompts in the rest of the challenge. That makes for more variety in my designs. 

The next ten days of the challenge are different styles and the first style is polka dots. Now, if you've followed me for a while you'll know that I adore polka dots. 


31DC2016 Day 10 - Gradient Nails

Well, this was my first prompt that did't make it up in time. I'll be honest with you. I did my nails last night with plenty of time to spare. Then I fell asleep. I was unusually tired yesterday. 

In any case, here's my gradient nail design for day 10!

31DC2016 Day 9 - Rainbow Nails

For today's prompt, my initial instinct was to do a water marble. But, since water marble is an actual prompt in the challenge, I decided against it. Then, I thought about doing something with polka dots, but that's a prompt too. After a few more ideas that I rejected I finally came up with something.

31DC2016 Day 8 - Metallic Nails

I was especially excited for today's prompt because I planned on using one of my new Julep polishes. This month's Maven box was their fifth anniversary box and it came with three STUNNING polishes! One of them just happens to be a metallic or, as Julep describes it, a "red rock chrome."

31DC2016 Day 7 - Black and White Nails

Just a super quick post today because, frankly, I almost forgot to make this post and it's quite late.

It's black and white nails day which I love because it's a classic combination that always looks great. 


Colors used: Kleancolor Metallic Black and Sally Hansen Hard to Get
