Yume Lacquer Nail Art

Hello lovelies!

This is my final post of the day and should be the last time I post three times in one day for a long time! But yesterday I reviewed some polishes from the Moonlight Defender collection by Yume Lacquer and today I have some nail that I did over the polishes to show you. 

So, onto the nails!

52 Week Challenge: 2 Color Gradient with Teal

Ello!

Today is another day that will be filled with posts but this one is fun because it's the beginning of a new challenge. It's called the 52 Week challenge and you guessed it, it runs for a whole year! It's an interesting challenge that I'd probably butcher if I tried explaining it, so check out the Crumpet's Nail Tarts group on Facebook if you'd like to learn more!

Onto the nails!

I do know that each week there are two different prompts and you can either do one of them,  two separate designs, or combine the two ideas into one look. I decided that I'm going to try combining them each week so today I have a two color (toned) gradient featuring a teal polish for you all!


31 Day Challenge: Inspired By A Tutorial

Hello lovelies!

Only two more days of the challenge left! I feel like I'm not going to know what to do with myself when this is over haha. 

Anywho, onto the nails!

Hello lovelies!

Hello lovelies!

I have another post for you guys today! This review is a quite a bit different from the others that you see on the blog but I think it still could be fun.

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Geometric -Week 1

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with another post for you guys! The Nail Challenge Collaborative is working with the geometric theme this month. I have to admit, I'm really not looking forward to this theme because straight lines are super hard to free hand and I'm not very good at stamping so, it'll be an interesting month. 

But, onto the nails!

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with another post for you guys! If you've been following the blog since the early days, you might have seen some reviews I did of some polishes from the indie brand, Live Life Polished (here, here, and here).

Hello lovelies!

It's day 2 of the 31 Day Challenge! Could you imagine if I counted down each day of the challenge? This month would last forever, wouldn't it? Okay, that's probably not a good idea....But I was a bit shocked to see how many people are participating this year. It's so cool to see all the different takes on the themes and I'm excited to discover some new nail artists and bloggers!

But moving on from the sappy, let's get to the nails!

31 Day Challenge: Red

Hello lovelies!

Do you know what today is? Besides being a US holiday aka I don't have classes and yup....But it marks the start of the 31 Day Challenge! I know this challenge isn't specific to September but Sarah over at Chalkboard Nails has almost, kind of turned September into the "official" 31DC month so I decided to join in! I wanted to try this challenge last year when I first started blogging but was too intimidated and even though I've completed two 31 day challenges this year, I'm still nervous haha. 

But let's get onto the nails!
nails, nail art, nail polish, leaves, pattern, 31DC2014, 31 day challenge, hey darling polish, red, nature

You guys can expect to see a lot of patterns this month (:
