31 Day Challenge - Day 26 - Inspired By A Pattern

- Nude On Black Dotticure -

For some reason, today's nail art completely reminds me of a ton of eyeballs staring into my soul every time I look down at my nails. I'm not sure if I love it, or if I fear it. Maybe a little bit of both?

The nude on black dotticure for day 26 of the challenge was inspired by this fun multisized circular pattern that I found online. After a good coat of Orly Liquid Vinyl, I created the dots by using a large dotting tool to alternate polish colors.

 

Polishes used: Orly - Liquid Vinyl, OPI - Samoan Sand. Topped with Seche Vite

What's your opinion on today's look? Creepy eyeballs or fun dots?

31 Day Challenge - Day 25 - Inspired By Fashion

 -A Little Bit Polish, A Lotta Bit Rock N Roll-

As soon as I saw that the challenge of the day was inspired by fashion, I instantly had an idea of what I was going to do! I absolutely adore this black leather and silver studded purse that I bought last summer, and as soon as I bought it I was inspired to create this manicure. Due to life and such, I haven't had a chance to get around to it until now, but boy am I glad I did!

Polishes Used: Orly - Liquid Vinyl, Seche Vite Topcoat

31 Day Challenge - Day 24 - Inspired By Books

- A Salute To The Bookworm -

As the theme of the day is nail art inspired by literature, I've decided to take this opportunity to honor one of America's unsung heros, the mascot of books all over the world - The Bookworm! Being a bookworm is a thankless job. His intelligence and devotion to literature is constantly overlooked, in favor of more popular mascots such as Tony the Tiger and even that creepy Burger King. Well no more, today we salute you Mister Bookworm for all you do!

To create this look, I used the following nail supplies:

10/0 detail paintbrush, Acrylic paint in Blue, Green, Cream,  Red,  Black and White. Finished with Seche Vite Topcoat

31 Day Challenge - Day 23 - Inspired By A Movie

 - A Smurftastic Movie Manicure -

Since I was still feeling a little nostalgic from yesterday's Super Mario Bros nail art, I decided to continue my walk down memory lane with today's movie themed nail art challenge as well! As a child I loved watching The Smurfs TV show, and as an adult I loved watching their adventures in New York City in the movie, so they seemed like a perfect fit for the theme of the day! Let the Smurfyness begin!

To create this look, I used the following nail supplies:

10/0 detail paintbrush, Acrylic paint in Blue, Purple, Pink,  Red, Yellow, Black and White, Finished with Seche Vite Topcoat

I'm definitely realizing that nail art is a serious addiction! On the upside, it's also super relaxing for me. I just wish these designs could spend longer than 24 hours on my nails!

I used the following tutorial from Leslie over at PolishArtAddiction to guide me in creating this Smurftastic nail art design:
