31 Day Challenge: Day 11 Polka Dots

Oh yes, polka dots! My favourite, most trustworthy/never fail, go-to nail art..

I decided to go to the untried drawer for this day of the challenge (for the umpteenth time!)

I found two colours that I thought would play well together.. And they did. And I am now madly in love with one of them.

I used China Glaze Midtown Magic and GOSH Golden Brown to achieve this look.

Ok, I know I am going to sound a bit.. err, crazy here, BUT, Midtown Magic is one of the sexiest colours I have yet to come across. It is like a.. chocolate purple.. Does that make sense? I seriously thought it was a brown base, but it isn't at all.. It is a purple tinged bottle of, well, magic! I am really glad I second guessed myself in the store and picked this up a month+ ago.. I cannot wait to use this again.. And it is a polish I would happily sport all on its own. /swoon.

Oh, and, I hope you're all sporting your poppies today and that you remembered to give your moment of silence at 11:00am. Take care til tomorrow!!

Canada Day - Saran Wrap Style

I had said the other day that I would be using the Saran Wrap method again soon.. And I really did mean soon. I figure it was the perfect way to celebrate Canada Day (nail-wise) without over-doing it.. I mean, I'm fairly patriotic as a rule, but sometimes sporting a Maple Leaf on my fingers isn't exactly my style.. ANYways.. See? The love is there with the red and white.. I know I said the next time I did the saran wrap method, I was going to try with three colours.. But, I think I will maybe leave that experiment for tomorrow - today is only about these two colours! So.. How I get to this? Well, allow me to show you. Start off with the colours of your choice - one as the base, and one as your.. distress-er? And some saran/cling wrap. I take two pieces and ball them up.. You could use more or less.. But I figure two hands, two, er, balls. Yikes. After your base has COMPLETELY DRIED (you can do these a couple of hours in advance, the night before, or even use some

Splatter Floral Nails

Hey everyone! Last night, after I did these nails and when I went to bed - I was quite pleased with my nails. When I woke up this morning, though, I wasn't overly crazy about them. I thought of a few things I could change so that I would really like them.. I am very tempted to take how I want them to look and recreate them before work.. I might just have to do it. Anyways! Really, there is nothing wrong with them.. I just sort of find them.. boring? Ah well! I used: Lime Crime Milky Ways China Glaze White On White OPI My Favourite Ornament China Glaze Highlight Of My Summer China Glaze Sweet Hook OPI Mod About You Formula X For Sephora Infatuated Orly Liquid Vinyl China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat I made the roses with a "main" colour and white, then I did the details with the "main" colour and black mixed together. Again, I don't dislike these bad boys.. I am just not amazed by them! Also.. did you
