32 Day Challenge Day 26

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I am nearing the end of this challenge. I know I did animal print earlier in this but I seriously love zebra print. This one is different because of the way I did it. I left the polish matte like it is. I don't really need it to last since this was only one day.

I used a really small brush and drew tiny "zebra" stripes with black acrylic paint. I used  China Glaze's Turned Up Turquoise. I did a blog post earlier this year you can find it here. 

I hope you like this. I know I like it better than the actual animal print post that I did in the first place.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 25

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Today is inspired by fashion. I am not really into fashion too much but I know a little about it, I am not going to say I am good with it though. I saw a couple of people doing plaid nails and a tutorial on youtube with Burberry nails. I kind of went off of that.

I used OPI's A-Taupe The Space Needle. Then I added stripes of white and black acrylic paint. Finally I added striped of Forever Young by Essie.

Very simple but kind of cute. I might try this again when the challenge is done, I see it as being a hit.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 24

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

The movie that I based my mani off of today is Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, which I could have copped out and did it for yesterday and today because it is both a book and a movie. 

Very different if I may say. There are a lot of vibrant colors in this movie because of the content of the movie. I used a neon orange and yellow along with a bright red.

Color Club Get Your Lem-On, OPI Atomic Orange, and Essie Forever Young.

That's really it for today. I don't really like how it turned out. A little messy if you ask me but I guess it just adds to the character of the movie.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 20

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Phew today in particular I had problems with nail art... Anyone ever have fail days? I seriously redid like 12 nails, haha no seriously. I hated how some of them came out. Water Marbling is such a pain to do sometimes, even when you know how to do it right and everything. The colors can get muddled together, you can totally miss the design, and sometimes you just get something that turns out looking like crap. I think everyone has those types of days, well today was mine.

I used Finger Paints Lavender Highlight, China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le, and Color Club Who Are You Wearing? I topped it with China Glazes Fairy Dust, does anyone else have a problem with CHG FD getting too thick? I know I have to use like 10 drops of thinner to get the polish back to its original smoothness. 

I hope you enjoyed, I know I liked the final look of it. Very fall-esk.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 19

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I changed my mind this is by far my favorite post out of this challenge. I have never tried Galaxy nails before today and I am going to tell you that I absolutely love it. I like how it just comes together. I actually got a lot of compliments today on my nails, people couldn't believe that I actually did this myself.

I used a CRAP ton of nail polishes for this.

Base color Downtown Diva by Ulta topped with Sally Hansens Pale Pink Opal which gave it a blue pink duochrome. 

Then I sponged You Belong To Me by Essence as my nebula, then on the edges I used Orly's Galaxy Girl. 

I used LA Colors Art Deco in white for the stars. Then for my shooting star I used Sally Hansen's Nail Prisms in Diamond which is holographic so it added something different to the table.

That's it. I hope you liked it if you did show your support by following me :)

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 17

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I have a lot of glitters to chose from so that made today very easy for me. I actually used multiple nail polishes for today. Glitter is a really nice way to spice up any nail look.

For the base color I used my new Orly Rock Solid which has holographic glitter in it. Then I added a layer of Sally's Girl Way 2 Disco which is a duo chrome type glitter that shines blue, purple, and green (the way to find the colors of these polishes is to go onto Sallys Beauty website and type the numbers that come with the color into the search bar). Then I added a layer of China Glaze's Fairy Dust, I have to thin this polish almost every time I use it I am sure I am not the only one. China Glaze nail polishes become thick very quick. Finally I added a layer of INM Northern Lights (shaken) which is similar to Fairy Dust so I really didn't need this step but I wanted so much glitter. 

Ugh this is going to be a pain in the ass to take off but really worth it. See the blurred picture for the sparkle. 

If you like this be sure to show your support by following me.

Enjoy yourself

31 Day Challenge Day 16

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I actually had to look at other people's Tribal Nails for today because I was seriously stumped on what to do. While I love the multiple primary color designs I also liked the duo color designs which is why mine only had three colors. 

I kind of just did a lot of symmetric shapes. Triangles and lines and dots. I used China Glaze's For Audrey and Sally Hansen's Eel Skin and black acrylic paint. I used an Artist Loft Brush in Round Watercolor 5/0.

I didn't do the same design on every finger because that would be a little boring in my eyes. My favorites would be my pinkie and my thumb.

I hope you liked it, if you did show your support by following me ;)

Enjoy yourself

31 Day Challenge Day 15

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Welcome to failed delicate print day. I have Bundle Monsters plate BM-206 which has a intricate design on it, it is the middle bottom design (closer to the BM logo), I thought I would try to recreate that with a brush and polish. I only recreated it because I don't have a stamper, I wish. Anyone know something that can act as a stamper without me having to purchase one?

Anyway I focused on the middle of each finger. I used a bright pink base which is Wet N' Wilds Dreamy Poppy and a bright green which is Sally Hansen's Lickety-Split Lime.

I just used a Artists Lofts Watercolor brush in round 5/0

Sorry this is so messy I didn't realize it until I went to edit the photos. 

I failed horribly. Nail art this intricate is kind of hard for me. Oh how I wish I was Robin Moses.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 14

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I do this design whenever I feel like I am in a mental block this time I added a lot more to it. It is a basic five petal FLOWER. Done with a dotting tool this will look great. 

I did two friendly little blue and purple flowers on each of my fingers besides my thumb finger, which I did a big two toned flower with a rhinestone in the middle. On top of that with a recent trip to Sephora (inside of JC Penny's) I added a matte top coat. So not only is it sparkly and girly it is edgy. 

For my base I used OPI Bling Dynasty.

For the blue flowers I used Bright Blue Chrome by Icings

For the purple flowers I used Berry Chrome by Icings

For the center of the flowers I used Lickety-Split Lime by Sally Hansen

I topped it with Seche Vite and then Sephora by OPI's Matte Top Coat

I hope you liked, if you did show your support by following me :)

Enjoy yourself

31 Day Challenge Day 13

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

This is probably my favorite day of the challenge because it is animal print. I am not sure I did too well because my zebra didn't come out as planned. 

I used OPI San Tan-tonio as the base and then black and white acrylic paint and then I didn't add a top coat to make the matte-ness of the acrylic paint show through.

I did leopard on my index finger and ring finger. Then I did zebra on my thumb, middle finger, and pinkie.

I hope you like it. If you do please feel free to follow.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 12

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I was trying to go for a modern type of stripes with very earthy and fall colors for today. I think I nailed it. It kind of reminds me of a scarf or something. Very modern and girly but kind of sophisticated. HAHA what a weird way of talking about nails.

I used several polishes for today. 

My base is Uh-Oh Roll Down The Window By OPI

Darker purple stripes are Honk If You Love OPI By OPI

Lighter purple stripes are Lavender Highlight By Finger Paints

Yellow is a Art Deco by LA Colors which is just called Yellow.

I am really liking how this came out maybe I should do some plaid or Burberry nails. 

I hope you liked it, thanks for following and reading.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 11

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

And hello polka dot day :) I really like polka dots but every time I do them on my nails it just looks weird to me. I am not sure why this is but it just does. 

I used the same pink color from yesterday which is GO GO Pink by China Glaze and then I used the end of my paint brush as a dotting tool. I dotted 5 dots on each nail with You Belong To Me by Essence. 

I really like how this came out, very pastel-y. Reminds me of Easter, which is like a long ways away. Oh well no one said I had to stay up with the trends :) and that is just fine with me.

Anyone else been playing Modern Warfare 3? OMG I am addicted to this game. Already a level 51 and I got the game yesterday.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 9

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

This is probably the worst thing I have ever seen... I just said screw it and I took the picture of the work that I did. I worked for over two hours on today's nails which I HATE! 

It is a good design but it looks like hell. I did two colors on each of my nails, in sort of a color blocking style. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple (violet). 

All of the colors I used were LA Colors Art Deco, these things can be found at the dollar store. I would never spend more than $1 on them unless it was a color that I have never seen before, which there are colors that you can't get at the dollar store.

Now that I am a little bit frustrated with the design I am going to take this off and prep my nails for tomorrow. Ohh today is grooming day.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 8

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I tried a different attempt to Metallic nails today. I am not sure if it meant full blown shiny out there almost metal metallic nails. I settled. Today I have two different nail polishes. 

I love this challenge because I am using some nail polishes that I never thought that I would get around to using, which is a major plus in my book.

I first applied two coats of Sally Hansen Nail Prisms (holo) in Diamond which is a silver, similar to OMG by China Glaze. When I first got this polish it looked more scattered than a linear holo polish so I used it in two different frankens. I didn't realize this polish is REALLY hard to find and semi expensive, if I would have known I would have kept it all as one polish. I actually purchased this polish in a set of two at the dollar store, it came with a Diamond Strength in Forever which is a pink.

Then I applied a layer of China Glaze Tarnished Gold which is a foil-y gold. It is amazing! I love that it is such a shimmering gold color. This was actually one of my first crackle nail polish, now I have 11 crackles. I was thinking about purchasing a few more because I don't have a green or silver. 

My picture doesn't do this combo justice.

Well that's it for today I hope you liked. See you all tomorrow.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 6

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Only a few days left until I am into the patterns, I can't wait. I think this is a really fun challenge thus far. I might try version two here very soon.

Today I am wearing a single color but I did a little design to add some spice. I am wearing Finger Paints Lavender Highlight. I added little lines of black acrylic paint. Nothing too intense just something I added. See I told you I am totally ready to be in the design part of this challenge.

I hope you like, I know I did.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 4

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Welcome to day 4 which is green day. I really like this green for today I am not sure what it is about it but it is love. I have told you before that I am not too keen on darker nail polishes on my nails, it could be that my nails are very small in size compared to others nails. Or it could just my skin tone, I am not sure what it is but darker colors aren't my friend.

Today I am boring, one color. I am wearing Finger Paints Scenery Greenery. I like this color so much. I think the reason I like it so much is because it's almost a jelly finish. I love the squishiness to jelly nail polish, their shine as well. This is without a top coat. 

Please don't mind the camera picture I am trying to mess with my camera to get better quality. I hope it is a little better, this picture was taken inside under a lamp.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 2

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Today is orange day haha. I don't really like orange on my nails but I like the color orange. Has anyone else noticed that this challenge actually goes in a rainbow? Like Day 9? Ohhhh I can't wait for day 9! Sorry there isn't a Pink Wednesday today, I won't be doing them unless the challenge tells me to. In a month from now I will be back to doing Pink Wednesday. Orange is close to pink though.

I have two oranges on my fingers today. I have OPI's Atomic Orange which is a bright neon orange and then I have Sinful Colors Cloud 9 which is similar to Zoya's Tanzy. I sponged this on, just the tips of it.

I think that is it for today. 

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 1

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Everyone has seen this before! I thought I would jump on the band wagon with the 31 Day Challenge. I am not sure if this is the first edition or the second edition. All I know is that Life and Polish is doing it as well, a lot of other bloggers have done this recently. There aren't an even 31 days in November so the first of December will be the last day. 

Today is Red Nails so I didn't do it 100% red but it is red. 

I am wearing China Glazes GR8 under Max 2012 Crackle in Medusa which is a red shimmer. Very pretty if I may say.

I am pleased to be doing this challenge. I am kind of dreading the tribal and galaxy nails but I will push through that.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Halloween Challenge Saturday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Spider Saturday. Sad thing is that I am going to have to take this off before tonight because I have a Halloween Party to go to and it is costume only. Remember I will show you what I am going to be on Halloween and that will be makeup and nails maybe even outfit if I am feeling dangerous enough. 

I just did spiders and webs today but I am not sure that you can see the spiders but they are there. I used Wet N' Wilds Behind Closed Doors and grey acrylic paint. 

I hope you liked it.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO
