31DC2015 Day 29: The Supernatural – Squished Fairy
Read more31 Day Challenge hits Day 29: Inspired by The Supernatural – Squished Fairy is what I have done. As far as Supernatural goes I was a bit meh about what to do. Being time-poor, I will leave the Zombies and overdone Vampires for another day. I haven’t done a dry marble or needle-drag and thought perhaps I would do a Fairy

31DC2015 Day 28: A Flag – NZ Laser Kiwi
Read moreI often find the flag nails prompt a little meh. It’s more because I generally prefer to put items representative of a country’s culture on my nails if I am representing a country, rather than a flag, mainly because I can add more variance, do skittles etcetera. And some flag designs are quite simple, so unless it is for the

31DC2015 Day 27: Artwork – Basquiat
Read moreBack into my beloved realm of the arts with 27 of the 31 Day Challenge. It is Inspired by an Artwork and I have chosen Jean-Michel Basquiat (pronounced ‘Bass-key-ah’ – where the Bass rhymes with mass, and the ‘h’ is short and soft)(if you want to say it correctly as the French do and sound all art nerdy and impressive

31DC2015 Day 26: A Pattern – More Mara
Read moreDay 26 of the 31 Day Challenge already? Wow. That was sort of not really quick! Today’s prompt is Inspired By A Pattern. Nice. It’s no secret that I love patterns. And colour. And design. And spinach, but I digress. I had so much troubble picking one Mara Hoffman print for yesterday’s Fashion inspiration prompt, that I thought I’d do

31DC2015 Day 25: Fashion – Mara Hoffman
Read moreI wanted to go all out with a nice bold print for Day 25’s Fashion prompt in the 31 Day Challenge. So I chose a Mara Hoffman print to replicate. There were so many to choose from, but I settled on one after much deliberation. I chose this New York fashion designer because I love her prints. This Bohemian style is

31DC2015 Day 24: A Book – Green Eggs & Ham
Read moreToday’s 31 Day Challenge prompt is literally literal. It’s Day 24 and the prompt is Inspired By A Book – Green Eggs & Ham. More like devilled eggs, but I thought I should go a bit Seuss. You might have guessed by now that I do have an often warped sense of humour, so it made sense to run with it

31DC2015 Day 23: A Movie – Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 3D
Read moreHello again. Back with some whacky nail art today as we glide into Day 23 of the 31 Day Challenge. I couldn’t decide on something given there is so much choice. In the end I settled on an animation. #31DC2015 options argh! In the end I decided to go with Day 23: A Movie – Cloudy With A Chance of

31DC2015 Day 22: Inspired By A Song – Rubber Band, Bowie
Read more31 Day Challenge and the first Inspired By prompt falling on Day 22 is Inspired By A Song – Rubber Band, Bowie. David Bowie. I thought I would pick something random and obscure, so it fits the bill there. And to celebrate 50 years of David Bowie. The track itself was a bit of a flop, but was one on

31DC2015 Day 21: A Colour – Golden Child
Read more31 Day Challengers rejoice! We’ve started the 3rd leg of this enormous challenge. The Inspired By… prompts. They aren’t my favourite, but I prefer them to the colour prompts. Here we have #31DC2015 Day 21: A Colour – Golden Child. My colour of choice is, you guessed it, Gold. I thought I would go for a full skittle manicure –

31DC2015 Day 20: Water Marble – Marbellous
Read moreWe are now in Day 20 of the 31 Day Challenge and the prompt that many of us either love or hate has arrived. Yup, Day 20: Water Marble – Marbellous. I do like marbling and the effect it gives, but it does eat through polish and can be hit or miss, so it’s not something I do all the time. The
