    31DC2015 Day 21: A Colour – Golden Child

    31 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

    We 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

    Hello y’all. I have two things to reveal today. 1) some galaxy nails for today, and 2) the new improvements to the commenting system. Firstly lets start with the improvements in a nutshell. I know that commenting can be a one and done kind of deal, so I’ve implemented a new system that allows you to be notified of comments.

    31DC2015 Day 18: Half Moons – New Moon

    When 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

    31 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

    Another 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

    Day 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

    Hey, 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

    This 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

    Hello 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
