Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Signature Style

Hello lovelies!

It's the final day of the OMD2 challenge and I can't believe that this month is over! I really liked this challenge and I'm sad to see it end, hopefully there will be an OMD3 next year! (:

Anyways, onto the nails!

Today's nails are supposed to be inspired by our "signature style!"

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Fashion Inspired

Hello lovelies!

I don't have anything exciting to say for an into today...I mean I only have 1 post for you all today. That's different! I've been double posting almost everyday this month and I've gotten used to it. Now I find it weird to only have 1 post for you guys.....Hey, look, an intro! (:

Onto the nails!

These nails are probably the closet to a classic french tip manicure that you will see on this blog....ever....

Tri-Polish Challenge: Watercolor Time

More lazy nail art for the win!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - National Pride

Hello lovelies!

There's only 3 days left of the OMD2 challenge. Holy crap!

Let's get to the nails!

You would think as much as I love water marbling, that I would like doing waterspotted nails. But I'm not a huge fan of doing it. I feel like I always make a way bigger mess when I do it and the spray you have to use starts smelling really bad, but I like how this looks! 

Lacquer Legion: Fandom

Ello!

I have another post for you guys today! This one's for the Lacquer Legion!

Onto the nails!

This month's theme is "fandom" and look, I did something other than Doctor Who nails. This time I did Harry Potter nails!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Bridal

Hello lovelies!

I feel like I haven't complained about it being a Monday in a while, but ew, it's Monday. I actually have a "normal" work week, blah.

Anyways, onto the nails!

Today's nails are so girly....weird!

FingerFood Theme Buffet: Rainbow

Ello!

I'm back with another post for you guys, this time for the FingerFood Theme Buffet!

Let's get to the nails!

I haven't done a watermarble in like what, 2 weeks? I was having withdrawals!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Nautical

Hello lovelies!

Okay, so I already wrote this post once today but for some reason when I went to publish it, the post disappeared but the post is showing up on the blogger app on my phone....so, yeah I have no idea.

Anyways, onto the nails!

I really don't like boats but sailboats are so adorable!

Hello lovelies! 

I'm back with another pairing of polishes from Kitty Polish! Today I'll be showing you guys My 2 Cents and BFF!

Onto the nails!

First up is My 2 Cents!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Outdoors

Hello lovelies!

The OMD2 challenge is back and today we're posting our outdoors nails! Or kind of outdoorsy/semi-inspired by the outdoors/maybe, I don't know.

Onto the nails!

See, outdoorsy! Right? Or maybe a very minimalistic idea of the outdoors (;

New To Me Indie!: Kitty Polish - 24 + Heart Of The Ocean

So, I'll be showing you guys polishes from Kitty Polish! Kitty Polish has some awesome polishes and I have 4 to show you guys. I decided to split the polishes up into groups of 2, so today you'll be seeing Heart Of The Ocean and 24!

*All swatches are shown with 1 coat of HK Girl Fast Drying Topcoat.

Onto the nails!

First up is 24!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Roses

There's only a week left of the OMD2 challenge, this month has gone by so fast! I've hardly been keeping up on posts but I have the next 3 days off from work, so I'm planning on getting ahead (:

Anywho, onto the nails!

Hmm, funny, I think I've seen this design once or twice before. Good thing it's pretty awesome (;

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Recreate Your First Four Designs - Week 4

Ello!

I'm back with my last post for the Nail Challenge Collaborative! I'm actually kind of sad to wrap up this theme because I really liked it! It's been fun to go back and recreate my first designs, seeing the improvement is a nice confidence boost. 

Anyhoo, onto the nails!

This is probably my favorite recreation of the month!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Fruit

Hello lovelies!

Guess who has gotten really good at multi-tasking!...overnight...Like so good that I got like 5 manicures done, edited all the photos, and wrote today's posts all while watching 7+ episodes of Criminal Minds! #productive

Oh, and I hit 1000 Instagram followers yesterday! It still shocks me that so many of you are interested in what I do here and continue to read/look at the photos. I can't thank you guys enough!<3

Anywho, onto the nails!

Brownie points to whoever can guess what fruit these nails were inspired by!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Negative Space

Hello lovelies!

The Oh Mon Dieu 2 challenge is back again....obviously....I don't really have anything to say for an intro....I have today off from work! That's nice, I guess....uhm

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Feathers

Hello lovelies!

Hopefully everyone's week is off to a nice start! I get tomorrow off from work so I'd say mine is off to a decent start (:

Anywho, onto the nails!

I feel like I've tried a lot of different things while doing this challenge, which is why I love them. And is no exception since this is my first attempt at feather nails!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Animal Print

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe that July is almost over already?! Where did the time go? I haven't even finished watching Season 3 of Criminal Minds yet, let alone even think about my summer homework assignment.....yeah, whoops, forgot about that. (Side note: I know that one of my professors and a few of my classmates know about my blog so on the off chance that you're reading this post, that last sentence was a complete and utter lie....)

Anywho, onto the nails!

Brownie points to whoever can guess what animal print I *tried* painting on my nails!

FingerFood Theme Buffet: Inspired By Fabric/Clothing

Ello!

I'm back with another post for the FingerFood Theme Buffet!

Onto the nails!

This week's theme is Fabric/Clothing so I painted my nails based off a hair bow I have!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Chevron

Hello lovelies!

How is everyone's weekend going so far? I actually had a day off this weekend which is unusual but I like it! (:

Anyways, onto the nails!

Simple nail has been my best friend lately and I'm really loving today's nails!

Indie Saturdays: Fandom Cosmetics - Broken Chameleon Circuit + Allons-y

The Nail Art Guild: "Favorite" Cocktail

Hello lovelies!

The Nail Art Guild is back today! If you haven't checked this group out yet, you can here. They have some pretty fun themes!

Anywho, onto the nails!

I always forget how much I like gradient nails and it's been ages since I've done a three color gradient! I think it turned out pretty, pretty good :D

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Dotticure

Ello!

Okay, so, THIS POST....grrr...if you follow me on twitter then you might already know about this but if not you can follow me here (; But so I went to edit the photos for this post last night only to find that I forgot to transfer the photos from my memory card to my computer. I was hoping that they were still on my memory card but I deleted photos off of it to make more room, so I had to redo the nails, photo them, edit the photos, and write this post....at 3am.....#dedication

Anywho, onto the nails!

It's a good thing that I liked these nails the first time around because I did exactly the same thing this time around haha!

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Recreate Your First Four Designs - Week 3

Ello!

I'm back with another post! I have another recreation of one of my first designs for The Nail Challenge Collaborative.

Onto the nails!

It's kind of funny how your "taste" changes as you blog more/age/whatever because I would not wear these nails nowadays haha.

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Galaxy

Ello lovelies!

How are you all doing? I had a really great nail art "session" last night so I have some fun things for you guys coming up! (:

Anywho, onto today's nails!

Oh Mon Dieu Part Deux - Abstract

Ello!

I caught up on all my blog reading! It took all day but I honestly had nothing better to do.....so yeah. I probably could have run some errands (aka I'm running out of acetone) but ehh,  my pajamas are comfy.

Anyways, onto the nails!

I really did not intend to paint camo-like nails today, it just kind of happened. Whoops!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Funky French

Hello lovelies!

I caught up with replying to everyone's comments from the past couple of days! I feel bad when I don't have time to respond but I always read them. Now, I just need to get caught up on blog reading....all like 300+ posts....whoops....

Onto the nails...!

First up is Don't Skip Nine!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Rainbow

Hello lovelies!

Okay, so random question but have any of you guys ever tried painting your nails in bed? If you have, teach me your ways! My mom needed the table that I normally paint my nails and blog at for her garage sale this weekend and she's trying to sell our kitchen table....so, we don't have any tables in the house...which is why I'm trying to paint my nails in bed and failing miserably! #nailbloggerproblems?

Anywho, onto the nails!

Today's theme is all about rainbows! I don't think I've ever done rainbow nails before so yay for new things (:

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Recreate Your First Four Nail Designs - Week 2

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with a post for The Nail Challenge Collaborative! This month we're recreating our first 4 nail art designs.

Watercolor nails are such a hard thing to recreate because each time you do them, you get different results! Gah, not nice haha!

Hello lovelies!

I don't really have anything interesting to say for an intro today....but we're up to day 10 of the Oh Mon Dieu Part Deux challenge!

Onto the nails!

Okay, so today's challenge is to use your favorite polish....How am I supposed to pick a favorite!? That's so hard! D:

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Dupe a Tried with an Untried

Ello!

I'm back with my post for the Never Ending Pile Challenge! This will be my last post with the challenge since it ends on Friday but I don't have a polish for the theme. I'm hearing reading rumors that the challenge will start back up in a couple of months with last posts a week. There's a good chance that my untried pile will be back to an unbelievable number by then so I'll probably partake again!

Anywho, onto more red nails!

My short nails are really starting to grow on me (yep, I did the pun) when I have them covered with awesome patterns!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Jelly

Hello lovelies!

Remember that nail art day that I said I was having yesterday? Yeah, well, nope. Didn't happen. It ended up storming really bad here and the power went out for a few hours. Normally, I don't mind thunderstorms but this one was not fun to sit through while home alone /:

Anyways, onto the nails!

I have a lot of red nails to show you today, not sure why, but I do.

Tri-Polish Challenge: Roses

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with another post for the Tri-Polish Challenge!

Onto the nails!

I think this is the first month where the colors actually work together to create a real thing instead of just being a random design.....I don't know if that even made sense....it's 6am and I haven't gone to bed yet, it's alright.

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Shimmer

Hello lovelies!

I have today off from work, yay! My goal is to spend all day working on nail art and blogging related things since I've been falling behind with both of those, whoops...

Anywho, onto the nails!

I really love wearing dark polish when I have short nails like this!

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Granny Polish

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with another post for The Never Ending Pile Challenge! Can you believe that this is the last week? I probably should have kept track of how many untrieds I used....

Anyhoo, onto the nails!

Granny nails!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Holographic

Hello lovelies!

Is everyone ready for the week? I'm actually a little excited to go to work today because I get to paint a sign for the store instead of being on register. I get to go in and leave whenever I want, and I don't have to wear my uniform. I can deal with that haha!

Anywho, onto the nails!

Holo polish makes Mondays better too!

FingerFood Theme Buffet: Patriotic

Ello lovelies!

Now, I'm sure you're all sick of seeing 4th of July nails. I know I am. But I might have one more to show you because today's FingerFood Theme Buffet prompt is Patriotic and I happen to live in the US. Yep. MURICA.

Onto the nails!

MURICA nails part 2!

Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Duochrome

Hello lovelies!

How was everyone's weekend? I know a lot of people in the US got a long weekend from the holiday, lucky ducks! My "work week" started on Friday haha.

Anywho, onto the nails!

This challenge has made me realize that I don't own many duochrome polishes.....like, this might be my only one.....

Indie Saturdays: Bliss Polish - Sunset On Paradise

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with my Indie "Saturdays" post! There was no way that I was throwing 4 posts at you guys yesterday (see, I do know my limitations (; )! 

Today's post is a little different since I only own 1 polish by this brand. Also, my nails are down to really short nubs. The nail on my middle finger keeps breaking! I was frustrated with it so I filed all my nails down to this and I'm hoping that they grow back stronger. My hand is like incapable of "posing" when my nails are short so my apologies for any wonkiness.

*All swatches done with 1 coat of HK Girl Fast Drying Topcoat

Anyway, onto the polish!

I'm showing you guys Sunset On Paradise!

Oh Mon Dieu 2: Dark

Hello lovelies!

I have a random question for you all. Do any of you subscribe to Ipsy? I just signed up for it last night and am currently on the waiting list. I guess I'm just curious to hear people's thoughts. Also, would a "unwrapping"/ bag review be something that people would be interested in? My intention is to keep this blog nail polish/art focused but I think 1 beauty post a month could be fun. Let me know!

Anywho, onto the nails!

We had bright nails yesterday for the OMD2 challenge and today we have dark nails! Pretty fitting for the weather that we've been having lately...
