Hello, Reader!
Last week I tried a new polish from Renaissance Cosmetics I bought a couple months ago!
I decided to add a little nail art to it, without masking the polish itself.

52 Week Challenge - Orange, Red and Yellow
Hello to you!
I initially didn't post this mani on my blog because I thought it was not my best clean-up job and the pictures were kinda meh. Now, I'm thinking what the heck. This is my blog and it helps me to see the evolution of my skills over time, so I'll post the mani.
It was for the 52 Week Challenge (I've been slacking these past weeks I'm so behind on some prompts...) .

Christmas Dry Watermarble
Hello!
The 31DC is over and now I'm free to do whatever designs I want to. (I could have done it when the 31DC was running, but I would have feel guilty about it. I know. I have a problem haha)
There is so much designs I want to try, so little time though. I already have a list of all the designs I will do. Now, if I could have the time...
For 2015, my "resolutions" toward the nail art is to practice more my free-handed skills, try new techniques (aka watermarbling, watercolor, etc.). I want to be better.
For today's nails, I finally did something that was very frustrating when I tried the first times.. But then, I discover a "lazy", easy way to do it. I didn't get a real chance to try it and before I knew, I forgot to try it further. It was only until earlier this week, on Instagram, that I remembered this technique. Pshiiit put a mani she did and I was like : "Omg I know this technique. I have to try it."
Dry watermarble. Yup, that's right. I called it lazy, because you let your polish dry and you can do something else while you wait.

Nails Of The Weekend: Pahlish's "La Belle Endormie"
Taking a short break from the 31DC to wear one of my many new pretties!
Fall is almost here and I'm really happy about it. I think over the years, it has become my favorite season. The colors in the trees, the cold air (but not too cold) and when the sun is there, wow!
Yesterday night, when I was searching for a new color to wear, I couldn't decide. I knew I wanted something dark, with a fall vibe... The problem is that I have a million of new pretties and I wanted to wear all of them! (Compulsive buyer heeeeeeere.)
I finally decided on wearing one of my new Pahlish. It's my first time buying from them and I was really amazed when I had them finally in my hands. The colors on my screen didn't prepare me for all this amazingness! They are so much prettier in real life! Making it harder to decide which one to wear first!
No more blabla. Let's see those nails!!
I'm not at home at this moment, so I took the pictures with what I had. Look at that gold shimmer peaking through! I wish it would have shown better on the pictures!
I just adore this shade. I will wear this one very often during fall. It has so much depth. Just beautiful.
What are you wearing on your nails this weekend?

La Belle Endormie is a dark red/purple jelly full of gold shimmer. Very vampy, very fall!

31DC version 2.0, Day 1: Red
Today is the beginning of the 31 Day Challenge! This year, I decided to take part of this big event in the nail art community. Last year, I was in awe with many nail ladies and the designs they came up with.
The version that I'll follow is the 2.0 version, created by @Willpaintnailsforfood, @thenailpolishchallenge and @wondrouslypolished. I like this version better. They will only post on Monday and Thursday, so you'll actually have time to think and admire your work for a longer time! Plus, I don't think it would have been manageable for me to paint my nails everyday. Yeah for the 2.0 version!
Day 1: Red. When I was looking for inspiration, the idea of the little girl and her balloon came almost immediately to my mind. My first idea was poppy nails, but I saw that on the day 11, that's the prompt. I really like how this design turned out. My skills at doing little design isn't perfect, but I hope that with the challenge I will get better!

Pretty Serious Cosmetics; Nail Mail Of the Week
Woohoo ! Finally! I have my own camera! Since yesterday, I just take everything in photos. I JUST FREAKING LOVE my camera! She's perfect! (Yes, it's a she. I decided since it was perfect, it had to be a she. :P)
I received earlier this week this awesome package from Pretty Serious Cosmetics. It was a huge cross on my wishlist. I had these shades for ever on this wishlist and I finally took the plunge. I'm so glad I did it, too. They are perfec-tion.
Grimm Demise is a sparkly teal polish. I could keep watching this polish for ever and still be amazed. True Story.
Stuck In The Middle is an iridescent pink/red. It's from the newest collection, I'm pretty sure about it. It has shimmer and it was really hard to capture all the amazing-ness. I tried my best. :)
Purple Monkey Dishwasher... Oh.em.gee. Another lemming of mine. I mean, look at this perfection!! It's so amazing. This shade is so aaaaaargh. I love it. I can't wait to put in on my little nubs :D

That's all the shades I bought in their cute little box!

Look at all these reflections. Wow. I don't find another word to describe Stuck In the Middle.

88mph is the one I was the most excited about. Not only because it's inspired by Back To The Future (HOW COOL IS THAT, HUH?), but also because it's so SPARKLY! I just kept looking at this polish and didn't know what to do with all my excitement.
The sun wasn't cooperating so I don't have a picture with the sun. It kept hiding until I was done. Mean sun!
+
Mummy Mush is a golden glass shifting duochrome. Pictures don't do it justice!
+

Generally Hazzardous is an orange with golden shimmer. I'm not an orange person usually, but this shade rocks. I already have a design for this one!!
Bonus picture to see the golden shimmer!
Have you bought previously Pretty Serious Cosmetics ? What is your favorite color?
Happy polishing!
