Day 3: Yellow.....

So uhm... I was going to do something totally different with this day and it ended up turning into a ball of fail.

So there's these.

Not much to really say about them. Honestly, yellow is my favorite color and I HATE these nails. They're just boring. Gimp also made my hands look super light when I was color adjusting. I almost wish I was a white girl now because they look better than my real hands.

I think once the recreate day comes, I might redo this day haha.

My yellow of choice was Finger Paints - Art Nouv-Yellow

This is one of my favorite yellows I've ever had. I'm sorry I did you wrong, baby!
I'm not even linking this to tumblr. Nope. Not worthy.

Natural Products '3-in-1' Nail Art Pens

These. Suckers. ROCK!
I mean woah. Maybe I'm just not used to amazing nail art pens, but these bad boys are worth every dime I payed.

These are 3-in-1 Nail Art Pens by a company called Natural Products.
They've got a little metal tip that's literally a needle size (actually, thats how you clean it out if it ever gets clogged. PS: it's never gotten clogged) under the black cap you see at the top. Below that, the black part that almost looks like it's got lines is the brush. Here's where I was impressed. The bottle itself isn't hard plastic... it's soft, mushy plastic that you literally SQUEEZE to get the perfect amount of polish from the tip when you're using it. No more guessing when or how much polish is coming out! NO MORE GLOBS!

Below all of that awesomeness is a little screwed on gem-holder. They give you a crap-ton of little gems that match the nailpolish color. I haven't ever used gems, so I wouldn't have bought them on their own, but having them come with these babies makes me think I might give them a shot!

I'm pretty sure they're refillable, but since I haven't ran out I'm not 100% on that. The colors are perfect, the gold is good enough to not need two coats (or lines) of it. The black is well... black enough?


GO GET SOME OF THESE!
THEY ROCK!

Day 2: Orange!

BACK TO THE SWING OF THINGS, HOPEFULLY <3

Alright, so here is my orange nails. I know most people do oranges, so I wanted to do something on the same page, but different. What better than carrots? They're even MORE healthy than oranges SO HA! I got the idea from my mother, who bought some Naked juice the other day. What did it have in it? Oranges and Carrots! Personally, it's too dull for me (the juice not the nails!) but with some lime in there, yumyumyum.

Anyways these nails are adorable in real life. My thumb has like... loads of carrots on it.
The base color is China Glaze - Sunset Sail
My orange of choice was Finger Paints - Prints and Printsess
The green is Sinful Colors - Happy Endings

I also used one of my new little Nail Art pens for this. I'll make a post about the two I've bought so far in hmmm... like 15 mins?

Watch out for my YELLOW nails tomorrow!
I can't wait

Day 1: Red

Well here they are, my first day in the Nail Art Challenge. I honestly held out from doing this challenge for sooo long because I hate red nail polish and it happened to be the first day. I can't get inspired with the color red, I just don't see anything but Christmas.

This red ALMOST changes my mind.

It's China Glaze - Ruby Pumps and maaannnn does it shine!

I'll upload a close up of it if I can get one, but right now I'm beat.
For the gold zigzags, I used these handy little pens I'm going to have to make a post about.
They're the cat's meow!

Here's where the more personal note comes in. Feel free to skip.

My boyfriend tried taking his life Monday night. Yeah, the same night I started this blog. I didn't hear until the morning that they had him in the hospital, but to think I could have woken up to a much worse phone call has me shocked. I originally was doing red drip nails (sorta bloody) but I couldn't bare to after that, so I picked something that couldn't possibly trigger emotions.

ANYWAYS

Here's to tomorrow being brighter than these past couple days.

Day 2: Orange is on the way and I promise I'll be more cheerful

❤

Starting a Blog!

Yep!

I don't even have followers to tell about this but this is more for me than anything.

I need to get back into nail art and this is the perfect way.

This blog is going to be 75% nails, 25% real life.

Lets be honest, I only HAVE 25% of a real life.

heh... heh...

ANYWAYS

Onto the nails!

As a rite of passage, I'm starting the 31 day nail art challenge!

I'm sure everyone knows what this is but if you're playing along at home, here's the challenge.

Hopefully I'll have something up soon for "Day 1: Red."
