Day 28 - Inspired by a FLAG

School has been crazy these past few weeks. Exams are starting which totally sucks the life out of me. I am hoping to finish up with my challenge posts before the end of the month. Woah, dream big!

For today's post I really wanted to do Harry Potter flags, but I couldn't bear to put them on my nails only to have them chip. So I did them on a nail wheel and I'll post those later!

For the challenge though, I decided on Argentina's flag. It's a simple white and sky blue striped flag with a sun in the center.

I didn't really do the sun justice, but I did my best!

I used China Glaze Sea Spray for my base and China Glaze White On White for the stripe. For the sun I used Orly Spark.

I hope you like!

Day 15 - Delicate Print

Hii

Todays post is going to be a short one. I really had no idea what to do for today. Delicate is so vague and all I could think of was lace. I tried using real lace but that was a huge fail and didn't feel like having to deal with the after math of removing it.

So I went with a super simple design of just stripes and dots. I'm not even sure if this is considered delicate, but I kind of like it. :)

I used China Glaze's Sea Spray. One of my favorite polishes.

Day 10 - Gradient Nails

Day 10 - Gradient Nails

Hii everyone!

First, sorry this post is a little late going up! I attempted gradient nails last night and they were all so ugly. I don't know why I just couldn't get it to work. I guess I was lacking inspiration, until today!

Originally I was going to just post the gradient and save the zebra print for Day 13, but that's kind of a cop out so here is the end result! :) I think they turned out awesome. I ran into my sisters room to show her haha I love them. 

I used China Glaze polishes for the gradient. From dark to light is Passion in the Pacific, For Audrey, and Sea Spray. I then did a coat of Seche Vite and added the black zebra stripes using a black Stripe Rite. And topped again with a coat of Seche Vite. 

Here is the manicure prior to the zebra stripes. I think the stripes help hide the imperfections of the gradient. Flows better. 

So that's day 10! This is one of my favorites so far I think. Well, other than Lisa Frank Rainbow nails. Those are just on another level.

What do you guys think?!

Essie - Shine of the Times

This is from Essie's Luxe Effects Collection Shine of the Times. It is a flake glitter and changes shades based on what base color you use and lighting. I layered this over China Glaze's Sea Spray. Below are a few more pictures :)

I seriously love flake top coats.

China Glaze - Sea Spray

China Glaze Sea Spray this polish is a really pretty dusty blue with a soft shimmer. Sea Spray is from the Anchor's Away Spring 2011 collection. The application was really great and only took 2 coats for full opacity.
