Falling For Nail Art Challenge - Cloudy Skies

This was Sunday's cloud mani. I actually had it done and ready on Sunday but procrastinated on taking the pictures. These pics are from today... three days of wear! Not too bad. I am a little disappointed with this mani. It didn't turn out quite as I had hoped but it is pretty close. I can say it actually resembles how the weather has been here. It hasn't rained in a few days and the sun has actually shown up though it's still cool outside.

Falling For Nail Art Challenge - Great Pumpkin

Well I guess I can't get the dates right. I thought this was supposed to be posted yesterday but nope... it was scheduled for Wednesday. Oh well. Maybe I should just do the two scheduled per week when I get a chance though I will try to post on the actual day. I am pretty much done with the chiro and will have my wasted 5 hours a week. Yay! I might even get the chance to post almost everyday like I did before my car accident.

Anyways, here is my Great Pumpkin mani. I figured I would do plain, not Halloween scary, pumpkins. I love pumpkins because they make my favorite pie!

NCC Halloween #1 - Swamp Thing and Ghouls Like To Have Fun!

Here is my first Halloween mani for the NCC challenge. I thought it would be a perfect time to review a water decal sheet I was sent from KKCenterHK. It is very cute! I also got a chance to wear one of my new Lynnderella Halloween polishes. Yay!

Falling For Nail Art Challenge - Sweater Weather

I am officially caught up... YAY!!! Today is all about sweater weather so I chose to paint my nails to look like a sweater I recently bought. It is a hobo sweater and has fake stitching, patches, and flowers. It is kinda cute.

Falling For Nail Art Challenge - Boobing For Apples

I did this a few days ago but was too lazy to actually crop the pics and write a post. Is that bad? I needed  some relaxation time and took advantage. Anyways, the theme of this skittlette is Bobbing For Apples. I painted a halved apple on my thumb, some apples floating in water, and red glitter on the other two nails.

Falling For Nail Art Challenge - Crunchy Leaves

Here is another late installment of the Falling For Nail Art challenge. It was meant for Sept. 29th. I will be all caught up here in a few days. I am about to have extra time to myself again since the chiro appointments will be coming to a close. YAY!!! Anyways, today is all about crunchy leaves that happen in Fall. I don't see too much in the way of leaves mainly because pine trees have needles and they aren't as pretty when they fall off. I stamped an image of an empty tree and strategically added colorful Autumn leaves for this look. I really like it.

NCC Techniques #4 - Ruffian Dotticure

Here is my last post showing off some more techniques. I was going to try out my Essence Paper Print stuff to make newspaper type nails but after looking at reviews, it didn't seem like a good idea. I didn't want to waste time redoing my nails. I'll try it out later. So I decided to do a ruffian mani and threw in some dots to show off two different techniques.

Sparkling Minty Garbage

So I am showing you my first attempt at doing a waterfall mani. I think I did pretty good. Some of my lines are a bit curved. What can I say, my hands shake sometimes. Eh, I really love how this turned out. I didn't actually know what I was going to do when I painted the base color.

Falling For Nail Art Challenge - Early Sunsets

I am two days late with this one but it is because my concentration has been very lacking this past week. I actually thought yesterday was Monday. I have chiro and massage on both Monday and Thursday. I dunno. I just noticed that I was late posting a second mani because I read the dates wrong. No worries here. 

Anyways, the second day of the Falling For Nail Art Challenge is Early Sunsets. I wanted to do something a bit different than a typical gradient. I actually did a layered ombre look using four holo polishes.

Born Pretty Neon Studs Review

I received some neon studs from the Born Pretty store for me to review. They came in a small wheel full of small circles and squares in six different neon colors. I decided to use the squares since I used the neon glitter polish with big hex glitters. I also used another untried polish... and it's a color changing polish! Yay! Also, they gave me a discount code for you to use. Double Yay!
