10 Day Challenge — Day 10 (we made it!)

Posted in 10-Day Nail Art Challenge, challenges, nail art challenge, September Nail Art Challenge by
Well, ladies, WE DID IT!  We have completed the 10-Day Nail Art Challenge!  Congratulations to all that were able to complete all 10 days.  It was hard work to have to change your nails every day, I know, but I’m so glad you all stuck it out with me! 😀
For Day 10, the theme is “recreate your favourite”.  For this, participants were able to recreate their favourite design of the other 9 days of the Challenge.  They could either re-do one of their own designs that they loved, re-do one that they wanted to do-over if they didn’t like the first attempt, or they could recreate another participant’s design from any of the 9 days.  Sometimes with a day like this in a Challenge, it’s hard to just pick one to do 🙂
Let’s go look at all the final entries!

Erica’s Nails and More Day 10 entry (all votes for this will not count, I’m not going to give myself a prize 😉 )
I decided to redo my gradient, but with my favourite colour. I used Julep Renee as my base colour and sponged on Julep Charlotte for my gradient. Then, I wanted to do some stamping as you ladies did some great stamping, and when I saw the butterfly (another of my favourite animal) I knew I had to do it. So there you have it, I wrapped up 3 in 1.. Day 1 (favourite colour), Day 2 (favourite animal) and Day 5 (gradient) all in one 😀

April Boulware Day 10 entry:
I redid the flowers challenge. I used Pure Ice Superstar as the base, the purple is Sinful Colors Let’s Talk, the pink is Tip Top Pink Lady, and the green is Pure Ice Wild Thing.

dreamyMM Nails & Make Up Day 10 entry:
So the amazing 10 days of Erica’s challenge has come to the last day. It was a great pleasure for me to participate as it was my first time ever…
My creation today “Spring Sunset Tiger” has a little bit of many days and that is because I couldn’t choose just one day to recreate…
Day 1 “Favourite Colour” (Black)
Day 2 “Favourite Animal” (Tiger)

Day 3 “Favourite Season” (Spring)
Day 5 “Gradient” (Is the Technic I used for my background)
Day 6 “Polka Dots” (The centre of my flowers)
Day 7 “Flowers” (Cherry Blossom and Bonsai)
I used White Nail Polish as Base and all the nail art is made with Acrylic Paint Colours.

Erin Fleming Day 10 entry:
When I heard recreate your favourite, I thought immediately of Partly Cloudy’s fall mani with the the braided accent finger. I used A-England’s St. George, Princess Sabra and Tristam.
Thanks so much for hosting us Erica!

Lustrous Lacquer Day 10 entry:
For day 10 of the challenge we got to recreate our favorite Manicure. For me it was my Seran Wrap Mani. It was the one Id done that I least wanted to remove. I loved the way the colors felt so completely Fall like and vampy. I was surprised that I liked it so much since Im not normally a dark nail color fan. For my recreation I wanted to go for the same feel but with different colors. I used a base color of Zoya Fei Fei. Then I added Milani Hot Orchid. It was looking a little too pink and shiny for me so I then added Revlon French Roast and topped the whole thing off with a coat of Sech Vite. A big thanks to Erica’s Nails and More for putting this challenge together. I had a ton of fun. And Congrats to all the Ladies who completed it with me. =)

Muffin Nails Day 10 entry:
Here it is! my design for the favorite season day really flopped, and I just had to try it again. Instead of doing trees this time, I did one tree on an island in the middle of an ocean. I know that this looks more like a summery scene, but I thought that the sunset kind of makes you think about the end of summer, when it transforms into autumn, which is my favorite part of the year. I hope you like it!

Painted Nubbs Day 10 entry:
I redid day 3 but with a twist. I chose my second favorite holiday, Halloween, and did a water marble. I used Zoya Arizona, Tip Top Black Forest, and LA Colors Live. This is only my third time doing this.
Blog / Facebook

FingerFood Nails Day 10 entry: 
Final day and I’m really sad that its over!!! I’ve had so much fun with this – thanks for all the work you’ve put in 🙂
I’ve been wanting to do this kind of mani the whole way though as its one of my current favourites. I didn’t know whether to use it to show off my fave colours at the beginning, or for the tie dye feel of summer on season day, or for the French tip variant, or for a twist on the gradient!!! So I saved it for today 😉 I used Rimmel Sunshine, Revlon Siren and Sassy and Models Own Feeling Blue and Lilac Dream, and Nail Essentials Classic Pink.

Sandra Bickel Day 10 entry:
I combined my three favorite into one terrific set of nails: flower, dots and spring time. I used Sinful Colors Innocent, Ruby Ruby and Snow me White, OPI Louvre me, Louvre Me Not.

Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Lacquer Day 10 entry:
For my Day 10 manicure, I used Amber Nolan’s Day 6 polka dot manicure as inspiration! I love how classy it is and her color choices! For my manicure I used a dark grey sparkly unnamed polish from elf (2F01AS on the label) as the base and then added silver dots with a dotting tool using LA Colors Live. Thank you so much Erica for hosting this awesome challenge! It’s been a lot of fun!

See Jodi Polish Day 10 entry:
All good things must come to an end I suppose. I decided to re-try a french tip variant for my last submission as I wasnt 100% happy with my original entry. The polishes I used for this mani are L’Oréal’s French Tip White (I thought it was appropriate), Julep’s Daisy and Leah, and essence Walk on Air and Ultimate pink. This was my first time doing a paint drip manicure. I hope you like it!
Blog / Facebook

Sparkle and Shine Nails Day 10 entry:
I re-did yesterday’s French Tip variant using the same concept I did, with different colors! My base is China Glaze Four Leaf Clover. I then used CG Lightning Bolt crackle for the tips and accent. HOWEVER, since I didn’t use topcoat before I crackled, the white absorbed some of the green! I did a final topper of Zoya Maisie, because you can never go wrong with a little glitz 😀

10 Day Challenge — Day 9

Posted in 10-Day Nail Art Challenge, challenges, nail art challenge, September Nail Art Challenge by
Happy Monday everyone!  Wow, where has the time gone!  Can you believe that this is the LAST DAY for the Challenge?  Craziness I tell ya!
Here are all the entries for Day 9.  The theme is French tip variant.  Everyone knows what the French tip manicure is, so I thought it would be kinda cool to put a little twist on it and do French tips that are a little “our of the ordinary” or “outside the box”.  I’m really impressed with what everyone came up with!
Let’s take a look 😀

Erica’s Nails and More Day 9 entry:
I love French tips, no matter what the colour combination! For this I used Julep Lynn as my base colour (light pink). Then swiped Julep Sandra on an angle from the right side of my nail down to the centre, then swiped Julep Marisa from the left side of my nail down to the centre.
Blog (you’re here!) / Facebook
April Boulware Day 9 entry:
TipTop Black Forest, thumb Zoya Whitney, pointer NYC Water St Blue, middle Zoya Sookie, ring Zoya Malia and pinky Pure Ice Wild Thing.
dreamyMM Nails & Make Up Day 9 entry:
With French Manicure I believe less is more… Am a big fan of the original plain white with semi-sheer white one, but today I made a different version because am in this Red alert mood LoL Used Revlon Matte Sued, Fire Fox No.507 and Black from Technic Nail Art Polishes.
Erin Fleming Day 9 entry:
Ugh – total chevron nail fail. My tape wasn’t as flat as I thought it was I guess. I used Enchanted Polish Ocean Potion and Awesomeness.
Lustrous Lacquer Day 9 entry:
I did this super quickly today in about 15 mnutes. Base color is Loreal Tweet Me, tips are done in Sinful Colors Pink Forever. The dots are Milani White on the Spot and the lines are a white striper from Kiss. I like how loud and fun this is.
Muffin Nails Day 9 entry:
I was actually really stumped for this one, so I used the trick that always works: add glitter. The red is Sinful Colors Gogo Girl, and the wonderful glitter is China Glaze Electrify.
Painted Nubbs Day 9 entry:
I had no inspiration as for what to do, so I just went with dots. But, I think it’s cute and really simple. The base is Zoya Wednesday and the dots are Zoya Arizona.
FingerFood Nails Day 9 entry:
Today was really tricky for me as I’m not a fan of French manis! Think its because I’ve done so many over the years!!! Anyway, this is as close as I allow myself to get 😉 I used Rimmel Jet Black and Color Club Oooooo La La and Electro Candy.
Sandra Bickel Day 9 entry:
Wet n Wild Megalast I Need A Refresh-Mint, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Gem stickers from KISS.
Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Lacquer Day 9 entry:
My french tip variant is Orange and Blue! I used Sinful Colors Midnight Blue for the base and Zoya Myrta for the tips and dots. I’m a HUGE Florida Gators fan, and I do an Orange and Blue mani each weekend during football season, so this also served as this weekend’s manicure.
See Jodi Polish Day 9 entry:
For this french tip variant I decided to honor my Husbands love for the New England Patriots. I started with a base coat of just base coat and then sponged the tips. Blue is done with China Glaze Dorothy Who? and then along the very tip I used Cult Nails Living Water. The red is done with NYC Broadway Burgundy Frost and along the very tip is China Glaze Lubu Heels.
The white accent nail is Julep’s Kate (of course) and the awesome glitter is Lacquer Conventions Mondrian. I then topped it all off with China Glaze Fairy Dust. I know this is sort if in between a gradient and a french tip variant but I wanted to do something non-traditional.
Blog / Facebook

Sparkle and Shine Nails Day 9 entry:
I had a lot of ideas for this day, and may do my redo for tomorrow and try another one :-). But for this evening I did Sinful Colors Cinderella and free-handed OPI Pink shatter tips (I LURVE the shatter tips!).
Amber Nolan Day 9 entry:
Im really loving this simple mani! Pure Ice Jamaica Me Crazy with black & silver glitter nail art on the tips.
No Naked Nails Day 9 entry:
Hard to believe this challenge is almost over!! Heres my entry, I used WnW Club Havanah and LA Colors Energy Source (white) I actually was doing this to wear to work to support my football team, TN Vols. I am really happy with how it turned out 🙂

10 Day Challenge — Day 8

Posted in 10-Day Nail Art Challenge, challenges, nail art challenge, September Nail Art Challenge by

Wow, where has the last week gone!  We are at day 8 of the Challenge, and the theme for Day 8 is Galaxy nails!  I think, besides dotticures, Galaxy nail art is my favourite type of nail art.  It doesn’t matter if you are beginner, intermediate or advanced, everyone can master this design!

When I did my 31 Day Challenge back in the spring, I had never heard of Galaxy nails, so I had to look it up.  When I Googled it, it took me to cutepolish’s tutorial video and that is how I learned to do them 🙂

Let’s take a trip into space!

Erica’s Nails and More Day 8 entry:
I LOVE galaxy nails! They are so super easy and look fabulous every time! It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or advance, everyone can master this nail art design! For this I used Jordana Black as my base colour. Then I sponged on L’Oréal I Will! and Mango-Get-Em, and Julep Daisy for my galaxies. Then I used NYC In a New York Minute Pier 17 around the outer edge of the galaxies to blend the colours into the black background. Topped off with Jordana Crystal Glitter to give the appearance if millions of stars 😀
Blog (you’re here!) / Facebook
April Boulware Day 8 entry:
For me, these were the hardest. Weird seeing as everyone else thinks that they’re the easiest. I used Tip Top Black Forest, Pure Ice Superstar, WnW How I Met Your Magenta, Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, and OPI Gone Gonzo.
dreamyMM Nails & Make Up Day 8 entry:
Today wasn’t a very creative day for me… But I did my best to make something and have an entry… Is funny as had loads of different idea’s how to make my Galaxy nails… Any ways things never work as planned LoL… What I used? Many different colours of nail polish and a sponge…
Erin Fleming Day 8 entry:

These were seriously so much fun to do! I think I went sponge overboard though, hehe.

I started with a base of Zoya Ibiza. I sponged China Glaze Bahamian Escape, Zoya Fei Fei and Zoya Laney. I did the ‘stars’ with SH White On. I then capped it off with a layer of China Glaze Fairy Dust! That’s a lot of polish!

Lustrous Lacquer Day 8 entry:
This one is a day late but I still wanted to share it with you.  Day 8 is Galaxy nails.  I can’t believe I waited so long to try this.  It was pretty easy considering I threw this together in about 10 minutes.  I used a no name E.L.F. polish for the base.  A black sparkley colour with #2F01AS on the label.  Sponged on some Milani White on the Spot (my go to white), L’Oréal Tweet Me, Orly Glits for highlight, Sinful Colors Pink Forever and finally Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue It.

Muffin Nails Day 8 entry:
Galaxy nails! I found these really funny because they’d been the design I was most worried about attempting, but they were the easiest ones I’ve done all week! They’re just unbelievably fun to paint. I used the tutorial by Cutepolish (http://tinyurl.com/3t8uklu) as a guide, and then made a few changes to suite my tastes. Overall this has been my favorite design so far and I’m going to be so upset when I have to take them off tomorrow!
Painted Nubbs Day 8 entry:
I wanted to do something different than the traditional black background, so I went with blue/green themed. I think it’s pretty good for my first try. The base is WnW Teal of Fortune, and the other colors are Zoya Song, CG Bahamian Escape, Pure Ice Wild Thing, Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet, and Pure Ice Superstar, all topped with a coat of Pure Ice Don’t You Wish. *I wish my stars were a little smaller*
FingerFood Nails Day 8 entry:
Galaxy manis are one of my favourites – I love trying different colours every time. This time I started with LA Colors Black Velvet, then added Models Own Snow White and Sun Kissed, Collection 2000 Hip Hop, Jessica Electric Teal, LA Colors Wired and Sally Hansen Twinkle Twinkle for the sparkle 🙂
Sandra Bickel Day 8 entry:
Ok, I had to do this one several times as a test before I got the right tools together to help me. I am still not *completely* satisfied…would be a lot easier with dotting tools that with just a brush. I used OPI DS Fantasy, Sinful Colors Snow Me White and Let’s Meet, and Sally Hansen Delightful Dawn.
Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Lacquer Day 8 entry:
These were my first galaxy nails, and though they aren’t perfect, I like the technique and look forward to trying it again. I started with LA Colors Circuits, then sponged on LA Colors Energy Source, Pure Ice Crimson, Pure Ice Celestial, and Sinful Colors San Francisco. I then used a dotting tool to add the stars and finished with Spoiled Shaken Snow Globe.

See Jodi Polish Day 8 entry:

Sparkle and Shine Nails Day 8 entry:
This was just too much fun, and I even got to use space themed polishes! I started with a base of Spoiled The Parking Meteor Expired. Sponged on some Sally Hansen White On, then Sally Hansen HD Laser. The finishing touch was the highly appropriate Claire’s Night Sky 🙂
Amber Nolan Day 8 entry:
I finally got this right! I used Hard Candy Wicked for the base. Then sponged on Pure Ice Super Star, then Hard Candy Beetle, and Sinful Colors Kissy. I love the way this mani turned out!!
No Naked Nails Day 8 entry:
I was excited about this one since I have never done galaxy nails before! It was a lot easier than I thought it would be! The trick is just barely having any polish on the sponge, gives you a lot more control over where it goes and how much goes on. I love how it turned out. I will definitely be doing this one again. I used LA Colors Circuits (black) and Energy Source (white), Revlon Temptress (pink), Sally Hansen Green With Envy, Pure Ice Busted (purple) and white striping polish.

10 Day Challenge — Day 7

Posted in 10-Day Nail Art Challenge, challenges, nail art challenge, September Nail Art Challenge by
We’re already at Day 7!  Wow, time sure flies when you are having fun!!  Day 7’s theme was flowers and there are some pretty great designs!
Erica’s Nails and More Day 7 entry:
I decided to try daisy nails for today.  My inspiration came from Painting Outside the Lines Daisy Nails tutorial.  I used Julep Whitney for my base colour and did the daisies using L’Oréal I Will! and Julep Daisy for the centres (fitting, right?!).
Blog (you’re here!) / Facebook

Aprill Boulware Day 7 entry:
The base is Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac and the flowers are just nail stickers.  I think they are very cute.
dreamyMM Nails and Make Up Day 7 entry:
Since yesterday I didn’t make vintage Polka Dots, thought giving a try to make today ‘Vintage Purple Roses’.  For today’s design, I used Nail Polish ONLY surprising even for me cause I love drawing in Acrylic Paint.  The Polishes are: Collection 200 Hot Looks ‘Hoola Hoop’ #34 and ‘Technic Nail Art Polishes’ which are amazing because they have a very thin long brush and helps to make straight lines.
Erin Fleming Day 7 entry:
I used Essie Blanc, Color Club Wild and Heart and BM 205.  Sorry for my thumbnail…it’s broken 😦
Lustrous Lacquer Day 7 entry:
I originally planned on doing just plain old dotted flowers because I’m half decent at those.  But I wanted to push myself and try something different.  To be honest I went to bed last night planning out this mani and picturing myself doing it in my head just to help build my confidence.  I’ve watched so many videos on the one stroke flower and I’ve wanted to try it for a long time now.  And the more I look at this mani the more I like it and am happy with my first attempt.  Especially the flower at the tip of my thumb there. 😉  Base coat is Zoya Megan.  Flowers are done with L’Oréal Tweet Me and Milani White on the Spot.  The centres are Sinful Colors Happy Ending.

Muffin Nails Day 7 entry:
Here are my flowers!  I tried to step out of my comfort zone a bit and do something other than the usual dotted flowers.  There are a few mistakes and things I would do differently, but in general, I like how it worked out.  I used Sinful Colors Boom Boom (this is like, the fifth time I’ve used this color this week), OPI Steady as She Rose, Sally Hansen Black Heart and Lightening, and Essie Navigate Her.
Painted Nubbs Day 7 entry:
These are my favorite so far!  Very simple and my stamping has greatly improved.  The base is LA Colors Magnetic Force, the stamping is done with Pure Ice Superstar and the centre is LA Colors Aqua Crystals.
FingerFood Nails Day 7 entry:
I used LA colors Current as a base and Black Velvet for the branches, with Models Own Snow White and Color Club She’s Sooo Glam for the cherry blossom flowers.  Apologies for the photo quality – I took it at work when I had the office to myself for a minute…
Sandra Bickel Day 7 entry:
Used: China Glaze Mahogany Magic, Naked (new one from the Breast Cancer set-Yum!) and I Herd That, Sinful Colors Snow Me White and white flower decals courtesy of KISS nails.  Sorry, not quite brave enough to attempt real painted flowers nor am I ready to trust the stamper just yet…
Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Lacquer Day 7 entry:
This is actually the first time I’ve attempted flowers…and I think these qualify as fail art!  They look like little pink sunny-side-up eggs.  I used LA Colors Atomic as the base colour, and used LA Colors Art Deco polishes in Baby Pink and Yellow and a dotting tool to make the flowers.
See Jodi Polish Day 7 entry:
I used a dotting tool for the flowers, base colour is NYC Times Square Tangerine Creme, yellow petals are Joe Fresh in Butter, the centre is Jessica Glamorous Gladiator and I sponged Wet n Wild Hallucination on the tips for some sparkle.
Sparkle and Shine Nails Day 7 entry:
I had a had time stamping this, the ones I wanted weren’t coming out right, because I’m stubborn and insisted on a little holo (if I would have just switched to my favorite polka dot flower, I would have been good to go!).  In the end I got one to work, I used Color Club Rvvvolution, Sally Hansen Celeb City, and plate SE18.
Amber Nolan Day 7 entry:
Nothing fancy, but still super cute!  I used Pure Ice Jamaica Me Crazy, Essie Jelly Apple, Hard Candy Beetle, and Julep Demi for the flowers.  Pure Ice Superstar and Wet n Wild The Wonder Yellows were used for the details 🙂
No Naked Nails Day 7 entry:
Colors I used:  Sally Hansen Green with Envy, LA Colors Energy Source (white) and Shock (yellow), and dark green striping polish.

10 Day Challenge — Day 6

Posted in 10-Day Nail Art Challenge, challenges, nail art challenge, September Nail Art Challenge by
Who doesn’t love a dotticure?  I think this is one of my favourite type of nail art because it’s so easy and there are so many combinations!  And that’s what Day 6 is all about 😀
Let’s check out all the entries 🙂

Erica’s Nails and More Day 6 entry:
I have wanted to try this look since I did my first double polka dot manicure. I used Jordana Black, L’Oréal I Will!, China Glaze Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and Under the Boardwalk, Essie Mezmerize and a couple dots of Julep Hayden. I love this and will definitely be sporting this more often 😉
Blog (you’re here!) / Facebook
April Boulware Day 6 entry:
The base is Zoya Song and the silver is Essie No Place Like Chrome.
dreamyMM Nails & Make Up Day 6 entry:
Everything in this world starts and ends with a DOT…DOT…DOT
So, today I am inspired by my Brother who is a Chemical Engineer… (Love you John) and instead of making what I first had in mind “Vintage Polka Dots” (I will make it some other day) I made my… “Chemical Nails” with White Nail Polish as Base and Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Mint, Orange, Black and White Acrylic Paint Colours.
Erin Fleming Day 6 entry:
Turns out I’ve committed nail art fraud! I don’t possess a dotting tool! So I stamped my dots using a Konad plate…..
I used a base of Zoya Myrta and the dots are A-England Tristam. It’s too bad Tristam wasn’t more opaque, but I do like the end result!
Lustrous Lacquer Day 6 entry:
This didnt turn out exactly how I wanted it to but I still like it. I originally wanted the dots to look like they curved towards the sides of my nails but practice makes perfect I guess. I was going for a fall feel with my colors. I used Sinful Colors Slate as my base coat and then added dots from China Glaze Foie Gras, Desert Sun, Camisole and, Kalahari Kiss.
Muffin Nails Day 6 entry:
Here are my polka dots! I decided to incorporate my favorite colors (yet again) to make this design. I used Sinful Colors Boom Boom, Essie Mojito Madness, and Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, as well as Essie Sand Trapez for the tan base. I tried to switch things up and make little rings instead of normal polka dots, as well as placing them on the nail randomly.
Painted Nubbs Day 6 entry:
Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I still like it. The base is Julep Jessica (favorite light blue EVER!) and the dots are Zoya Arizona and Pure Ice Superstar.
FingerFood Nails Day 6 entry:
I like the irregular “bubbly” effect so picked up some of my favourite colours and went dotty! The base is Maybelline Lilac Frost and the dots are Color Club Pucci-licious and Yell-Oh!, Collection 2000 Electric Dreams and NYC High Line Green.
Sandra Bickel Day 6 entry:
I LOVE THIS LOOK! I needed to give my fingernails a break, so I did my toes! I hope that is okay. I think I have cute toes. 😀 I used Julep Isla for a base colour (for that touch of shimmer). Random Dots made with L.A. Color Daisy, Electra, Mint, Aquatic, Absolute, and SPAT!
Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Lacquer Day 6 entry:
My boyfriend picked out the colors for today’s polka dot manicure! I think he was trying to pick something he thought I wouldn’t like, but I actually love it! I used a LA Colors Static Electricity as the base color and then used small dotting tool to put on the pink and orange polka dots. The orange is LA Colors Tangerine and the pink is Julep Mandy.
See Jodi Polish Day 6 entry:
Day 6! Wow, time sure flies when you’re having fun. I love doing dotticures… there are so many options. The polishes used for this dotticure are Pink: Island Girl’s Big Island Magic (its a gorgeous bubble gum pink), Brown: Jessica’s Glamorous Gladiator (a medium brown with fine micro gold glitter, a perfect shade for fall), and White: Julep’s Kate (my “go to” white shade).
Sparkle and Shine Nails Day 6 entry:
I wanted to go for big dots this time, so I used a q-tip for the black. It’s China Glaze CG in the City with Sally Hansen Black Out dots 😀
Amber Nolan Day 6 entry:
Polka dots! This very much reminds me of studded leather. smile I used Hard Candy Wicked for the whole nail with Julep Sienna for the dots! Love this look!
No Naked Nails Day 6 entry:
Day 6 Dot-icure……This was a quick one. Almost forgot about it!! Turned out okay though I guess. Colors I used: LA Colors Live, Wet n Wild 9021Orange, Buffy the Violet Slayer and The Wonder Yellows.

10 Day Challenge — Day 5

Posted in 10-Day Nail Art Challenge, challenges, nail art challenge, September Nail Art Challenge by
We’re half way through the Challenge already!?  That’s so crazy, it feels like we just got going!  It has been so much fun doing this challenge with some really wonderful ladies 🙂  I can’t wait to see what the second half of the Challenge will bring 🙂
Day 5’s theme is Gradient.  Now, I’m not going to lie, this one was tricky and I think that a lot of the girls found it frustrating, unless they have already mastered the art of creating a perfect gradient 😉  This is definitely a perfectionist’s worst nightmare, especially when you’re still working on the learning curve of the design.
Let’s take a look at all the designs 🙂

Erica’s Nails and More Day 5 entry:
Gradients… *sigh* I think I have them mastered, but it’s still going to be some time before I get them to my liking. In this I used Julep Hayden as my base colour (light peach). Then, using a kitchen sponge with the green scratchy on one side and a pair of tweezers I dabbed on Julep Sasha, a coral-orange colour from the tip to about 3/4 up my nail. Then I used Julep Natasha, a red-orange, and sponged up about 1/2 up my nail. I let that dry a little and then added another layer of Natasha at the tip (last 1/4) to darken it up.
Blog (you’re here!) / Facebook
April Boulware Day 5 entry:
China Glaze Electric Beat, Zoya Mira and Kleancolor Neon Pink…I’ve never done any nail art before this challenge, so as usual this was my first gradient.
dreamyMM Nails & Make Up Day 5 entry:
Inspired by the Rainbow I created my own Gradient of Colours! How did I make it? Simple…With a sponge and my Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple and Magenta Acrylic Paint colours over a base white nail polish.
Erin Fleming Day 5 entry:
I couldn’t get a gradient to look good for the life of me today, so here’s one I did a while ago – it’s Orly Skinny Dip and China Glaze Up All Night.
Lustrous Lacquer Day 5 entry:
I’m getting a little better at these but it’s still not how I want them to look. Colors are Zoya Avery, Shelby and, Arizona. I went with brighter colors becasue it’s turned quite chilly here lately and Im not ready to let go of summer yet.
Muffin Nails Day 5 entry:
The first post I ever made on my blog was a gradient, so I have a huge soft spot in my heart for them. I was so in love with the pink I used yesterday (Sinful Colors – Boom Boom) that I decided to try it out again, matched with my favorite green (Essie – Mojito Madness). And I couldn’t just leave it plain, so I added a little design on top using a white Art Deco striper.
Painted Nubbs Day 5 entry:
China Glaze For Audrey into Zoya Malia
took me days to get it this good, one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever done lol.
FingerFood Nails Day 5 entry:
Can’t believe we’re halfway through the challenge already!!! Here are my gradient nails. Unfortunately the pics didn’t pick up the colours as well as I hoped because they’re super shimmery but I have so little time today that I can’t wait till later to get better ones :/ I used Sally Hansen HD Hue, Wavelength and Byte 🙂
Sandra Bickel Day 5 entry:
So far, this one has been the most difficult for me to get right. I finally got it together somewhat and this doesn’t look too bad. I call this combo: A touch of warmth in winter…not sure why…it’s just what it looked like to me. I used OPI Significant Other Color and Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet for base colours and OPI Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not and Sally Hansen Sea Breeze for the gradient.
Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Lacquer Day 5 entry:
I used Zoya Myrta and Zoya Kimber from the Zoya Pinterest Trio for this subtle gradient.

I LOVE doing gradients, I do them all the time and I always get tons of compliments on them. This was done using the paint directly onto the make-up sponge method. I started with a base coat of Avon nailwear pro in Jade (2 coats) then I painted rows of Avon Jade, Daphne by Julep and Walk on Air by essence onto the sponge and lightly dabbed. I repeated the process on each nail twice. Then I topped it all off with NYC Starry Silver Glitter.

Sparkle and Shine Nails Day 5 entry:
I’ve done this technique three times before, and this is so far my best attempt (my gummy worm nails for my last challenge were an utter fail, and my candy corn nails were…better). I learned you need less polish on the sponge, which is how my pinky turned out so well. This is my metallic duo-chrome gradient, with Ulta Jaded as the base and China Glaze Deviantly Daring as the second color.

Amber Nolan Day 5 entry:
My gradient nails! They turned out alright. I used my 2 favorite colors again Julep Morgan & Sandra. Decided to mix it up a little and do vertical gradient and to switch the colors on my thumb. 🙂
No Naked Nails Day 5 entry:
I’m not even sure if this can be considered a gradient but its my (first and last) attempt at one. Ugh! I don’t like it at all but here it is. These are the colors I used: LA Colors Wisteria(pink), Purple Delight (purple),Circuits (black), Energy Source (white) and Cobalt (dark blue), NYC Sidewalkers (grey), and Sally Hansen Blue Me Away (light blue). I apologize in advance for any eye soreness that may occur after seeing this mani….lol

10 Day Challenge — Day 4

Posted in 10-Day Nail Art Challenge, challenges, nail art challenge, September Nail Art Challenge by

Morning everyone!  I am so impressed with all the entries for the Challenge so far! 😀

Here are the entries for Day 4 of the Challenge, Seran Wrap Nails.  This seems to be a first for a lot of the participants 🙂  Good!  I want people to go out of their comfort zone, and this was an easy way to start 😉

There are two different ways to achieve the Seran Wrap Nail technique.

  1. Paint your nail your base colour.  When your base colour is completely dry, paint over with your second colour and while it is still wet use a scrunched up piece of seran wrap to sponge the top colour off so the base colour will show through.  Repeat for as many colours as you want.  Or,
  2. Paint your nail your base colour.  When your base colour is completely dry, put a couple drops of your second colour onto a piece of foil or plate.  Using a scrunched up piece of seran wrap, dab it into the drops of polish, dab on the foil/plate to remove excess (but not too much) and dab onto the nail.  Repeat with as many colours as you want.

I personally prefer the 2nd method (“sponge-on”) as I feel I have more control of where my top colours go and how much of it shows.  I have not tried the 1st method (“sponge-off”), I will have to give it a go one of these days 🙂

Onto the entries!

Erica’s Nails and More Day 4 entry:
I love seran wrap nails. I do it a little different from everyone else though – I use the sponge-on method. Paint your nails your base colour. Put a couple drops of your other colour(s) onto a piece of foil or plate and dab seran into the polish and onto the nail. I love the marble effect it gives 🙂 I used Revlon Top Speed Fire as my base colour and Julep Felicity and Harley as my sponged colours. I love the colour combination of this 🙂

April Boulware Day 4 entry:
Pure Ice Superstar and Sally Hansen Emerald City.

dreamyMM Nails and Make Up Day 4 entry:
Seran Wrap is something I have never done before…
Thought it would look better if I had opposite colours so made both hands in contrast… one hand blue one silver…To emphasize it a bit more, I did my thumbs different and added some big gems.
I used: my favourite Blue… “Collection 2000 Lasting Colour, No.12 Blue my Mind” and a glittery Silver polish…

Erin Fleming Day 4 entry:
Saran Wrap! I went for a subtle look using Zoya Quinn and China Glaze Swing Baby. For some reason it reminds me of crushed velvet?
Blog

Lustrous Lacquer Day 4 entry:
Base color is ULTA Beauty Gold tippd Rose. Top Color is Jordana Cosmetics Cabaret. Plus a coat of SV.
Facebook

Muffin Nails Day 4 entry:
My saran wrap mani! Orange and pink is without a doubt my favorite color combination, so it wasn’t hard for me to choose my colors for this design. The pink is Sinful Colors Boom Boom and the orange is Sally Hansen Sun-Kissed. If I did this again I might use the orange as the base color on all of the nails, but other than that I think it turned out pretty well!
Blog / Facebook

Painted Nubbs Day 4 entry:
My very first saran wrap mani…and needless to say it didn’t turn out that good. I followed the directions from a tutorial, but it still looks like I did it wrong lol
I used China Glaze For Audrey as the base and then applied China Glaze Lemon Fizz over that and dabbed it off.
Blog / Facebook

FingerFood Nails day 4 entry:
I managed to get over the trauma of taking off my autumn nails for day 4! Here are my saran wrap nails – I used Barry M Raspberry over Models Own Snow White. Apologies to everyone for the state of my nails – the tips are breaking as they grow out as a result of wearing false nails about a month ago and they’re all uneven… :s
Blog / Facebook

Sandra Bickel Day 4 entry:
After testing several colors for opacity, this two just seemed to work best. I used the dob-off method rather than the dob-on method…at lot less messy. My son loves it! Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby and Envy (overlay).
Blog

Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Lacquer Day 4 entry:
I used Julep Jessica as the base and used the sponge-on method to apply the silver, LA Colors Live.
Blog / Facebook

See Jodi Polish Day 4 entry:
This was done with Julep’s Leah as a base, 2 coats for opaqueness and then CHI Ceramic Nail Lacquer in Subway to Wall Street, a concrete grey creme color, was brushed on and a scrunched up ball of saran wrap was used in a dabbing method to remove some of the grey so the green shows through. I love how it looks marbelized (yup, that’s a new word I just created 🙂 )
Blog / Facebook

Sparkle and Shine Nails Day 4 entry:
I used OPI Pepe’s Purple Passion as the base, Pink Friday for the “sponged on” part, and ORLY 54 for a little shimmer. I also did a blog post of the first five days of the challenge, because I won’t be around tomorrow (Leave for work at 6:45, get home from school at 11!).
Blog / Facebook

Amber Nolan Day 4 entry:
Turns out I’m not very good at the saran wrap manicures! Haha. I used Butter London’s Branwen’s Feather and for the top color I used Sinful Colors Gorgeous.

No Naked Nails Day 4 entry:
This is the first time I have ever done this one and I have to say, I don’t know why I waited so long! This was sooo crazy easy! I used Spoiled’s I Don’t Drink Cheap Wine and WnW’s Metallica. Again, if you haven’t tried this, you must! you will be shocked at how easy it is to create such a ‘Wow’ effect on your nails. Thanks to Erica for ‘forcing’ me to do these things I’ve never tried. 🙂

10 Day Challenge — Day 3

Posted in 10-Day Nail Art Challenge, challenges, nail art challenge, September Nail Art Challenge by
Well we are a 1/3 of the way through the Challenge.  I hope everyone is enjoying it so far!  Spectators, what do you guys think of all the designs so far?
Here are all the Day 3 entries.  The theme is Favourite Season.  This can be either the 4 natural seasons or holidays, as I consider those to be seasons as well (Christmas season is from the end of October until the end of December here in Canada — as soon as Hallowe’en is over the stores are FILLED with Christmas goodies!).
Erica’s Nails and More Day 3 entry:
I looooooove winter! I love it simply because I love snow and hate the heat of summertime. But I don’t do any winter sports (skiing, skating, etc.) because I’m not a very coordinated person.  I like downhill skiing, but for me it’s more like downhill tumbling 😉
I used Julep Jessica for the base colour and L’Oréal I Will!, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Celeb City and Jordana Black for the snowflakes and snowmen.
Blog (you’re here!) / Facebook

April Boulware Day 3 entry:
Hallowe’en – white is Pure Ice Superstar. The black is Tip Top Black Forest. Gray is Zoya Dove. Yellowish range is LA Colors Shock. The darker orange is Zoya Arizona and the red is LA Colors Hot Blooded.

dreamyMM Nails and Make Up Day 3 entry:
My favourite Season is BOO… Halloween *giggles*
For the entire design I used (as usual) acrylic paint colours and thin brushes…
Base coat :NYC In A New York Color Minute, Lexington Yellow No.294.
and I’ve done the Gradient Effect with Orange and Gold Acrylic paint, worked with a tiny piece of sponge over the yellow base.

Erin Fleming Day 3 entry:
My favourite season is fall. I used OPI Deutsch You Want Me Baby with an accent nail using Zoya Elisa and China Glaze Electrify.
Blog

Lustrous Lacquer Day 3 entry:
For me this was an easy decision. Ive always loved the fall colors and a bonus, my birthday is in the fall. I decided to spong on some colors that reminded me of the falling leaves and then added a leaf stamp to try and pull the whole thing together. Colors used are Sinful Colors Clementine (orange) and Firefly (yellow) Essie Penny Talk (copper) and Milani Hot Orchid ( Burgandy) . Stamps are done with Milani Black sweep. Plates used are BM 04 (middle and pinky) RA-120 (pointer and ring).
Facebook

Muffin Nails Day 3 entry:
This mani was inspired by my favorite season, fall. I tried to incorporate all of the common autumn colors into the background and then the solid tree in front with its leaves gone.
I made a gradient using Sally Hansen Lightening, Sinful Colors Courtney Orange, and Sinful Colors Envy. I then painted on the tree with Essie Little Brown Dress.
Blog / Facebook

Painted Nubbs Day 3 entry:
My favorite season is actually a holiday lol… I’d have to say it’s Valentine’s Day, I love the celebration of love. And who doesn’t love a good stuffed animal, especially those giant monkeys! The red is LA Colors Hot Blooded, the white is Pure Ice Superstar and the stamps are Salon Express plates 20&21. 🙂
Blog / Facebook

FingerFood Nails Day 3 entry:
Here are my “season” nails. I went for Autumn as my fave – I used Rimmel Aqua Cool for the base with Models Own black for the trees. The leaves are OPI Rising Star and Take the Stage, with Sally Hansen Teeny Greeny Bikini and Emerald City.
Blog / Facebook

Sandra Bickel Day 3 entry:
Late spring/ early summer story.
Pinky: first flush of spring (sap is rising :grin:)
Ring: first sprouts
Middle: sky full of stars

Index: first blooms
Thumb: height of summer
I love when my nails tell a story…when I have time, I do this. I used Kleancolor – Daisy, Kiss nail art decals 2012 edition & metal enamel hearts.
Blog

Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Lacquer Day 3 entry:
My favorite season is fall, so I tried to incorporate some fall colors in this mani. I started with LA Colors Bronze as the base and then did a braided accent nail (my first!) using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color in Rapid Red and NYC Color in Plaza Plumberry.
Blog / Facebook

See Jodi Polish Day 3 entry:
My favorite season is the Christmas season, and in my house it runs from the 3rd week in November until the first week of January. My color theme is red, white and silver…this manicure represents that and the stamped star looks just like my tree topper. The Red polish is a local Hawaiian brand that I picked up in Honolulu last year called Island Girl and the name i

s Old Lahaina, and the shimmery/silvery white is CHI Ceramic Nail Lacquer’s Snow Angels in Central Park (I needed 4 coats for this color to be opaque.) I also added a red rhinestone in the center of the star.
Blog / Facebook

Sparkle and Shine Nails Day 3 entry:
I wanted to go a little out of the ordinary. While my favorite season of the year is fall, my OTHER favorite season involves the only sport I love, FOOTBALL (American style). And I am a HUGE New York Giants fan, so I did my Giants pedi which I wore under my socks yesterday (when the Giants won, by the way!). OPI Swimsuit…Nailed It! and A Oui Bit of Red, China Glaze Unplugged, and Sally Hansen White On.
Blog / Facebook

Amber Nolan Day 3 entry:
My favorite season is fall and these colors really say fall to me! I used julep rachel & sienna.

No Naked Nails Day 3 entry:
I absolutely love spring! Everything is so fresh and new and everything just comes alive! I tried to incorporate some of the things I love about the season and am VERY pleased with how this came out. I used Orly’s Decades of Disfunction first then put Sinful Colors’ Cinderella over it for the sky and all the rest is just about every striping polish there is…LOL. Hope you like it, its all freehand 🙂
Blog / Facebook

Samantha Dobbs Day 3 entry:
I painted a base brown sponged on red, yellow, and orange randomly. I drew the tree and stamped the leaves.

A lot of people love fall!  Looks like I’m the only one crazy enough to love winter in its entirety 😉  Christmas is my favourite holiday season, but I decided to do winter because I love nothing more than waking up to a fresh blanket of snow 😀

10 Day Challenge — Day 2

Posted in 10-Day Nail Art Challenge, challenges, nail art challenge, September Nail Art Challenge by
It’s Day 2 of the 10 Day Nail Art Challenge — Favourite Animal.  I was excited for this day because I knew exactly what I was going to do!  Here are all the entries:

Erica’s Nails and More Day 2 entry:
If you have been following my blog for a while, you will know that polar bears are my favourite animal in the entire world, and one day I would like to have one of my own.. a real one. But until that day comes I guess these little guys will suffice 😉 I used Julep Jessica (light blue), L’Oréal I Will! and Jordana Black.
Blog (you’re here!) / Facebook

April Boulware Day 2 entry:
COW. I’m new at this this and not very good with dotting tools so I thought this would be the easiest.

dreamyMM Nails & Make Up Day 2 entry:
Animals are all lovely and unique, so I made 5 different ones.  I leave it to you to choose which one you like most *wink-wink*.  For me special one is the Tiger… (but also the parrot as I do have a few)
For the entire design I used acrylic paint colours and thin brushes…Base coat Essie BORROWED BLUE Nail Polish 746.
Blog / Facebook

Erin Fleming Day 2 entry:
Now I’ve been excited for this since I read the challenge list. Why you ask? Because it’s not animal print per se, it’s your favourite animal. My favourite animal is clearly my cat – so I used his ‘colour palette’ as inspiration for these nails.
used NOPI Razzle Dazzler, Zoya Trixie and BM 316!
Blog

Lustrous Lacquer Day 2 entry:
This is my very first attempt at doing free hand nail art. And I was in a bit of a rush to get it done on time. So please excuse the sloppyness.
Facebook

Muffin Nails Day 2 entry:
For day two, I decided to do my favorite Pokemon. It’s a Phanpy, which conveniently looks just like my favorite animal, the elephant. I used Sally Hansen – Blue Me Away!, OPI – Cajun Shrimp, and Stripe Rite Black to make the Phanpy.
Blog / Facebook

Painted Nubbs Day 2 entry:
I have loved pigs since before I can remember! This is Tip Top Pink Lady as the base, Zoya Whitney as the snout and ears, Pure Ice Superstar as the white and LA Colors Black Velvet as the black.
Blog / Facebook

FingerFood Nails Day 2 entry:
I chose pandas because I’d never done them before. I used LA Colors Black Velvet with Models Own Snow White on a base of Borghese Fantastico Lime. Added a little bamboo as I thought the rest of my nails looked a bit bare (or bear! lol).
Blog / Facebook

Sandra Bickel Day 2 entry:
Favorite animal: Horse – my favorite animal that isn’t cliche but is also not easy to represent in nail art. (was going to choose dogs but the only way I know how to draw a dog didn’t translate well to nail art)…and besides that…I’d have wanted to do poodles and, well, my talents don’t go that far yet…
Colours used: Sinful Colors Innocent & Exotic Green, Slate, Nirvana, Snow Me White, Black on Black LA COLORS Dark Brown, Julep Isla, Cover Girl Copper-cino.
Blog

Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Lacquer Day 2 entry:
It’s puppy paw prints! Although I don’t have a dog right now, dogs are my favorite animal! I decided to do paw prints (so my cat didn’t hate me too much). I used Julep Kate for the base color and LA Colors Circuits and a dotting tool for the paw prints.
Blog / Facebook

See Jodi Polish Day 2 entry:
My favorite animal is my dog Jersey, she’s a reverse brindle boxer, however, I do not have the skills to create her on my nails so I have chosen my favorite animal print. This was done with Arabella’s Raspberry ice (its a brand a local salon uses and its great)-a rust shimmer, the white is Julep’s Kate, and the leopard spots were done with Cult Nails Nevermore and Raspberry Ice.
Blog / Facebook

Sparkle and Shine Nails Day 2 entry:
My Day 2 entry is my favorite animal, owls (Yes, this is because of Harry Potter, hehehe)! I used Zoya Angelina as the brown base and China Glaze Oxidized Aqua for the wings and other fingers. The belly is L.A. Colors Atomic, the beak Zoya Paz, and the eyes Sally Hansen White On and a Sinful Colors shimmery black nail art polish. I apologize for not doing owls on all my fingers, it was getting late last night and I messed up the other fingers falling asleep, oops!
Blog / Facebook

Amber Nolan Day 2 entry:
Favorite animal! Used Mischa with black nail art polish.

No Naked Nails Day 2 entry:
My favorite is a butterfly! They are so graceful and beautiful. I love watching them. I used Wet-N-Wild ‘How I Met Your Magenta’ and a lot of striping polishes.
Blog / Facebook

Samantha Dobbs Day 2 entry:
Well since I can’t draw an otter or anything otter like I decided to go with a Bengal! Since its football Sunday I decides to kill 2 birds 🙂 I’m wearing deborah Lippmann Lara’s Theme and china glaze Mahogany Magic.

I love all these designs!  I love animals so it was interesting to see what everyone came up with 😀

We are off to an awesome start with the 10 Day Nail Art Challenge, I hope everyone is enjoying it so far! 😀
Here are the entries for the first day:

Erica’s Nails and More Day 1 entry:
My favourite colour is purple, and specifically Elixir Lacquers Miss Kitty’s Mee-yow. My 2nd favourite is Julep Morgan, which was bumped out of 1st by Miss Kitty 😉 I used those 2 colours as well as L’Oréal I Will! to create “border nails”.
Blog (you’re here!) / Facebook
April Boulware Day 1 entry:
My favorite color is pink, this pink is by kleancolor.
DreamyMM Nails & Make Up Day 1 entry:
Hard for me to choose as there is lots of colours I like… but most of all I love Black Colour, which I used for the flames of my design “Games with Flames”.  The design is made by using marbling effect (without water) with the following nail polish colours:
NYC In A New York Color Minute Nail Polish Yellow No.294, Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Black Satin No.430, Revlon Matte Suede Fire Fox No.507, Beauty UK Salon Professional Soft White No.56.

I did a base coat of Zoya Mimi, then stamped with NOPI Light My Candle using BM 314.
Blog
Lustrous Lacquer Day 1 entry:
Now I don’t actually have a favorite color but I tend to be drawn to pinks when it comes to my polish. This is 2 coats of Sinful Colors Nail Polish Star Fish with Random pink stripers with a white thrown in to make it feel lighter.
Muffin Nails Day 1 entry:
(paraphrasing from her blog post)
My favourite colour is orange but because I don’t have an an orange polish I picked my favourite polish colour, which is OPI Cajun Shrimp. I then chose pinks and reds to combine with it in my design. Colours I used are Essie – Sand Trapez, Sinful Colors – Gogo Girl, OPI – Sparrow Me the Drama, Sinful Colors – Boom Boom, OPI – Cajun Shrimp and OPI – Steady as she Rose.
Painted Nubbs Day 1 entry:
My favorite colors are light purple and mint, a girl can’t choose just one! So, I used two of my favorite polishes: Lacey Lilac and Mint Sorbet both by Sally Hansen, and added some stripes with Pure Ice Superstar. I’m still pretty new to stamping so forgive my sloppiness.
FingerFood Nails Day 1 entry:
My favourite colour is Color Club Velvet Rope which I’ve used to create apples. Base colour is Sally Hansen Time to Shine, with Revlon Sassy and Models Own Black and White nail art pens.
Sandra Bickel Day 1 entry:
I call this combo “Goldstone”. I used Essie – Angora Cardi and OPI – Text Me – Text You.

Partly Cloudy With a Chance of Lacquer Day 1 entry:
My favorite color is Zoya Lana, which I used as the base color here and added the swoopy designs with a black Art Deco striper polish.
See Jodi Polish Day 1 entry:
Favorite color…is sadly Black but my second is pinky/purple, so this is Quo by Orly Purple Daydream, and Wet n Wild black creme stamped over Julep’s Kate.
Sparkle and Shine Nails Day 1 entry:
Favorite color: Purple! I have a base of China Glaze Stone Cold with Claire’s Night Sky. Then I did stripes of my favorite polish I own, Color Club Fashion Addict, which is also my favorite color, purple!
Amber Nolan Day 1 entry:
I used Julep Sandra and for the accent nail I used Sandra, Morgan, and Brooke.
No Naked Nails Day 1 entry:
I am in love with the Wet-N-Wild Megalast polishes with the flat ‘pro’ brushes! They are great creme polishes. I used three on this one. ‘On A Trip’ is the purple, ‘Through The Grapevine’ is the pink color and ‘I Need A Refresh-mint’ is the blue/green color.

Samantha Dobbs Day 1 entry:
I couldn’t decide between orange and pink so I did both 🙂

So far there are some amazing nails!  Let’s keep up the great work everyone!
