31DC2015 Day 18: Half Moons – New Moon
Read moreWhen I saw that today’s prompt being Day 18: Half moons and all I could think of was Frank Sinatra’s old tune, Blue Moon. You know the one: Blue moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own So I ignored it and did something totally different. And went with angular

31DC2015 Day 17: Glitter – Smokin’ Mirrors
Read more31 Day Challenge Day 17’s prompt is GLITTER. So more sparkles, yeahh! I guess not having working lights has made me like shiny, blingy things even more so this past week. I thought about going for the full finger disco thing, but since I have done a bit of that already throughout the challenge, I opted for a glitter polish

31DC2015 Day 16: Geometric – Call Me Angle of The Morning
Read moreAnother day, another punny title. Yawn! Today is one of my favourites: Geometric! Yay! I love the shapes and angles they create. Hardly biased. Nope, not at all as a design nerd. Who likes sleek lines. Or architecture. Or interiors. And for the record, I loved triangles long before Hipsters stole them 😉 Anyhoo, today’s title is inspired in part by

31DC2015 Day 15: Delicate Print – Matte About You
Read moreDay 15 of the 31 Days in this 31 Day Challenge. I’m calling it halfway. Delicate Print was the prompt. I call this one Matte About You. I have printed a delicate pattern over 3 fingers and used mattified caviar beads for the feature nails. I considered doing some fine lines painting, but am posting and was completing this really late.

31DC2015 Day 14: Flowers – Settle Petal
Read moreHey, hey! Day 14’s 31 Day Challenge prompt is Flowers. I decided to do abstract flowers. So here is my effort for Flowers – Settle Petal. I had always planned to go a little abstract, but it turned out I had to be more than anticipated due to circumstance. So I’m not sure I’m completely sold. It was going so well.

31DC2015 Day 13: Animal Print – Zebra’s X-ing
Read moreThis Animal Print prompt for 31 Day Challenge Day 13 was inspired by Zebras. I’ve already done a recent black & white based mani, so this one had to be coloured and metallic. It’s a little bit more meh than I was hoping for. I did a ‘watercolour’ polish base over Sinful Colors Snow Me White. Then layered some silver

31DC2015 Day 12: Stripes – You’re Naughty-cal
Read moreHello Day 12. Say an even bigger hello to Stripes. Prompt for today. I was feeling naughty and went a little navy and nautical. So I’ve named this one ‘You’re Naughty-cal’… It’s not too complex in terms of how stripey one can go with the striped theme, but neither did I want it that way. I paired it over a

31DC2015 Day 11: Polka Dots – Feeling Dotty?
Read moreAs we hit the end of Section 1, we begin my favourite section Styles. Beginning this second chapter is the Polka Dot prompt. Are you Feeling Dotty? I certainly was after placing all these glitter dots as equally spaced apart as I could in dim light with a pencil, some tape and a paperclip. I tell you, I have always been

31DC2015 Day 10: Gradient – Hey, (H)Ombre!
Read moreI love a good gradient and today was one I was looking forward to. (Watermarbling probably less so, but I’m sure I’m not alone haha. I do like it, however a cold room does not exactly help). Anyway back to Day 10: Gradient. Or keeping up with the terrible 31 Day Challenge puns – Hey, (H)Ombre! I know, terrible. Stop throwing your tomatoes

31DC2015 Day 09: Rainbow – ColourFull
Read moreWith Rainbow as the prompt for today, I thought it would be high time to do something fun as well as colourful. Full of colour with a bit of Sparkle. Thus this Mani Moniker: ColourFull. So I’ll post first and answer questions later. We’ve almost hit the end of the first leg of the challenge Colours, before we move into the second

Read more31 Day Challenge is powering ahead and we have hit Day 8. The theme is Metallic. Or again, to keep up with my naming theme – Day 08: Metallic – Foiled My Plans. I’m kinda happy with how it turned out in terms of interpreting the brief and level of shininess. I wanted to do more, but decided to leave it. I

Read moreWow already a week down and now that the weekend is over and I am a day closer to “slightly less hectic” as opposed to “hectic hectic” with juggling appointments and whatnot, maybe I’ll get a moment to scratch my head. In the meantime we are hitting Day 7 of the 31 Day Challenge 2015 (aka as #31DC2015 for you
