31DC version 2.0: Day 25: Abstraction

I swear.. After this post, I'm done for the day.. I had a little bit of catch-up to do, since I didn't post for a long time..

When I began this challenge back in September(?), it was one of those prompt I had already found my inspiration and it was just waiting in a file, on my computer to be done.

The main idea on this prompt was to do a rainbow spotted-gradient and adding lines (like a graffiti) randomly.

31DC version 2.0: Day 23: Indie/Day 24: Half Moon

What? Two prompts in one? You crazy girl!

Indie... that's so vague. How can you choose only one indie? I feel like if you choose only one indie, you may offend others. That's my humble opinion. I had so many untried indies, I decided to make a big mash-up and use as many as possible in the prompt.

I remembered in September when the traditional 31 Day Challenge was running, I saw @morenailpolish's half moon and I thought: "Wow, that's cool". Screenshot.

31DC version 2.0: Day 22:Glitter

I had other things in mind when I read this prompt. But, as always, things happen in life and you sometimes don't end up doing your first idea.

Maybe I was lazy that day or just bored with.. I don't know. Life. I looked and nothing was good enough. I finally picked an untried and do something really simple. I don't think it's my better shot.. but I got over it. ;)

31DC version 2.0: Day 21: Holidays

Holidays in November. Please, no! I'm not ready yet! Wait until December...

For this prompt, I used a long time untried. I had this polish for almost a year, before I finally use it last week. I decided to layer it over a dark blue and it was a super duper brilliant idea!

31DC version 2.0: Day 20: Supernatural

Initially my first idea for this prompt was to do a Patronus.. but it was a lot harder than I expected! Turns out, I'm not exactly ready for this king of art. That's okay. I'll try another time..! After my disappointment, I started to think ... Then.. Sudden illumination.

Supernatural.

Supernatural.

Maybe one of my favorite show ever. If not my favorite. The only tutorials I could find were.. meh. But then I remembered I saw AStudyInPolish's picture of Castiel nails. They were on my to-dos list, so I jumped on the occasion and did them! (YEAH!)

I loved them so much I wear them for three days. I only took them off because it was beginning to chip. :(

I wish I had look through my pictures before taking them off, because my hand pose is like..really awkward.

 

 

It's a super simple nail art, but sometimes simple is best. 

 



Doing his wings was harder than I thought. But, in the end I'm pleased with them.

 

For people who don't know who Castiel is, I guess my nail art doesn't make really sense. Go on Internet if you're really interested in knowing who is that awesome angel in a trench coat.

 

 

I might do this design again in the future, because me likeyy them very much!

 

Happy polishing!

Splendor Nail Lacquer; Nail Mail Of the(last) Week

Last week or so, I read an article on Willpaintnailsforfood.com about a new indie in the game. The brand was called Splendor Nail Lacquer and is based in Canada. Yay, for fellow Canadian!

I read the post and was pleasantly surprised to see that her first collection was based on Veronica Mars! For those of you who don't know who is Veronica Mars (shame on you!), it's a teenage girl who help her father with detective jobs. Later, in the TV show, she become a detective and help others students at her school in exchange of money. She is really sassy and I loved her when the TV show was running!

Imagine my happiness when I looked through the swatches Meghan had done for Splendor Nail Lacquer !

 This is the first collection. Of course, I had to buy the entire collection, being a fan and all.

 

 

I took a macro of this one, it's my favorite of the bunch. The color. The name. I can't wait to wear this one (and the others). I wish I could make swatches, just to see on my nails, but unfortunately  I don't have time :( 

 

Like I said before, Splendor Nail Lacquer is a new indie brand, based in Canada and I think everyone should buy from her, because she has great colors in her shop and she is really fast on shipping. If you love(d) Veronica Mars, it's definitely a must-have in your collection!!

 

Happy polishing!

Nails of the Weekend: Mulan by F.U.N. Lacquer

A few weeks, or maybe it's already been a month, I received my package from F.U.N Lacquer. I ordered a few, all inspired by Disney Princesses (I'm a big kid, I know.)

When I opened the cute little boxes, all I was doing was : "Ohhh", "Ahhhhh" and little squee sounds. The pictures on Internet didn't do really justice, they were even prettier in person.

I put them in my untried pile, because there were nail polishes that was already in line to be wear. Yup. I placed my new nail polish by time I get them and try to wear the "old ones" before the "new ones". I must admit, I cheated sometimes when I'm really feeling the color and I want to wear it immediately. That happened with my F.U.N Lacquer, I cheated!! But I don't care, it was worth the cheating.

31DC version 2.0: Day 19: Art

Whew, I'm getting really late again.

Day 19 brought me some really nice ideas, but I had so much ideas, it was like having none. My mom and I, we used to go often at museum and art exposition. Now, I can't go as much I would want, but we still go some times.

I saw a lot of artists and styles, I didn't really know what to do. It was when I was on IG and looking through the hastag that I saw someone mentioning Salvador Dali. I remembered seeing his art at many museums and in child movie (Looney Tune: Back In Action, anyone?). Anyways. When people read Dali, they immediately think about his melting clocks, but I thought about his disproportionate elephants.

I'll show a photo of my inspiration:

31DC version 2.0: Day 18: World Cultures

I was getting down last week because I wasn't feeling very inspired. Now, I'm back on track and producing a lot of manis to be up-to-date on this challenge!!

First post for today is my post for world culture. I kept having this idea of doing this Mexican nails, something very festive every time I thought about this prompt. I really don't know why. Lol. But then, yesterday evening I was looking through my inspiration folder on my computer and saw a greek pattern. I forgot about it, only to remember it again when I was looking on SimplyNailogical.com at a tutorial (Greek, of course! It had to be.) Destiny had called.

31DC version 2.0: Day 17: Favorite Season

Hi!
This post will be short and sweet!
I couldn't decide on which season was my favorite. I think they all have pros and cons. So, when there is indecision, do it all!
