The Nail Challenge Collaborative: 3rd Anniversary Recreations #4

Hello lovelies!

Gah, I missed posting yesterday! I had the photos edited and everything, but I gave my last presentation of the semester and then spent like five hours in the screen printing studio. Oh, well, you guys just get double the posts today (:

So, onto the nails!

Any guesses on what blogger inspired my last recreation for this month's The Nail Challenge Collaborative post?

Hobby Polish Bloggers: April - April Showers

Hello lovelies!

Posts two days in a row? Yeah! The Hobby Polish Bloggers are all posting together this week and I couldn't miss out on it. The group has so many awesome ladies that are so helpful when it comes to pretty much any nail polish and/or blogging question. I would definitely check the group out if you haven't!

Let's get to the nails!

I can't think of something to write here, so woo, yeah, ignore this rambling!

52 Week Challenge: Glitzy Mermaid

Hello lovelies!

I'm so excited about today's nails that I'm not even going to bother with an intro.

So, onto the nails!

Oh man, just look at them! *insert heart eye emoji*

Spell Lines

Hello lovelies!

It's the start of another week and I'm back to classes this time around. I'm actually kind of glad to be back, because I really need to kick it into gear and start finishing up some of my projects. The end of the semester isn't until the beginning of May but a good chunk of my projects need to be mostly done by the beginning of April, so it's a little crazy right now. Truthfully, I was going to reach out to some other bloggers and see if they'd write up some guest posts for me but uh, yeah, I got a little busy and forgot. So, I'm going to try my best to stay on top of everything. I'm feeling really motivated at the moment about school and blogging, so let's do this!

And all of my posts lately are rant-y....this is weird....anywho, onto the nails!

I have to admit that I might be motivated but I'm also slightly scatterbrained aka this is another design that I have no idea where it came from!

Indie Days: KBShimmer - Midsummer's Night + Teal Another Tail

Hello lovelies!

Look, I finally have an Indie Friday's post up on Friday! A little late, but it's up. Amazing, right! The only downside is that both of the polishes that I'm about to show you are discontinued....sorry. I still wanted to show you guys swatches incase you come across one of these in a blog sale. So, onto the nails!

*All swatches shown with one layer of Glossy Glam

52 Week Challenge: Kids TV

Hello lovelies!

I hope you are all having a decent week so far! It's day two of my break but I really need to sit down and get some work done soon, because I'm slacking.......and seriously, there's no time to slack right now.....meh.

Anywho, onto the nails!

Who can guess what kids' television show these nails are inspired by?

Indie Days: KBShimmer - Totally Tubular + Laugh Myself Lily

Hello lovelies!

Look at me catching up on posts! Woo! I'm continuing on with my KBShimmer polishes, so let's get to the swatches.

*All swatches shown with one coat of Rica's Glossy Glam

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Animals - #3

Hello lovelies!

I survived my presentation, woo! Now, I just need to tackle my other homework but I got this haha. I don't know where this is going so....

Onto the nails!

So, I feel like I need to take back what I was saying about this theme in the beginning of the month because I'm actually having a lot of fun with it.

The Nail Art Guild: Out Of This World

Hello lovelies!

Late post tonight but Happy Valentine's Day! I don't have holiday inspired nails to show you though haha.

Anyways, onto the nails!

Galaxies! Galaxies are out of this world. Oh, I could totally say that you guys are out of this world, so I painted galaxy nails and BOOM! Valentine's. Nailed it.

NAIL Linkup: Hearts

Hello lovelies!

I have another really quick post for you guys today. I've been writing posts this week but have been completely absent from all other social media platforms. I was hoping that I was getting over whatever sickness this is but it seems like I'm just getting worse, so thank you guys for sticking around!

Anywho, onto the nails!

More hearts! These are probably the closest that you'll get to Valentine's nail art from me haha.

31 Day Challenge 2015: Recreate An Old Manicure

Hello lovelies!

How is everyone doing today? I had a snow day today because of the snow storm that hit the East Coast but I don't think we actually got much snow...they cancelled today's classes yesterday because everyone thought we were going to get a lot.....but I don't know, I slept all day and didn't go outside....so....yeah, if you did get hit with a lot of snow, please stay safe!

And here's some nail art to make you smile!

Bright colors to the rescue!!

The Nail Art Guild: Seven Deadly Sins

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with another post for you guys because The Nail Art Guild is posting today on Instagram. This week we're doing manicures about the Seven Deadly Sins, which, was super hard! Gah!

Anywho, onto the nails!

Who can guess which one of the seven sins I decided to paint?

31 Day Challenge 2015: Holo

Hello lovelies!

We're halfway through the week and luckily I get today off! I'm still not feeling any better and it's making me tired all the time. I almost went to bed last night without doing any nail art, but I just couldn't do it! I knew that I was going to need something to stare at while my car was being inspected haha.

Anywho, let's get to today's nails!

I think teal and black might be my favorite color combination for nail art because I love these!

52 Week Challenge: Distressed Stripes

Hello lovelies!

Quick post today because I honestly forgot how tired work makes me. Standing for 7 hours wearing ballet flats kills your feet. I'm also really good at running into things while working and I already have a bunch of bruises....It's a tough life being clumsy.

Anywho, onto the nails!

Can you guys believe that those stripes were freehanded? Because I can't! Man when I started this blog, I had no idea what a striping brush even was or how to use one. I've giving myself a pat on the back for this one!

The Nail Art Guild: Holiday Songs

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe that Christmas is in 5 days? That's so crazy to me considering that I haven't even been home from school for a week, and I've only bought one Christmas present so far....so yeah! I wait to the last minute every year and you'd think I'd learn by now but uh, nope....

Anyways, onto the nails!

Brownie points to whoever can guess what Christmas song these nails are inspired by!

Fair Maiden Polish: Be Your Own Heroine Nail Art

Hello lovelies!

Did you guys like the review I did yesterday of some polishes from Fair Maiden Polish? The polishes are awesome! Today's post is filled with nail art that I did with them, so let's get onto the nails!

New To Me Indie: Fair Maiden Polish - Be Your One Heroine Collection (Partial)

Hello lovelies!

I have a review for today's Indie Fridays post of a "new-to-me" indie brand. Fair Maiden Polish is actually fairly new to the indie polish scene but just wait until you see these polishes, they're amazing! I have some of their Be Your Own Heroine collection to show you all, so lets get to the polish!

*All swatches shown with a coat of HK Girl.

Nvr Enuff Polish: Spice World Nail Art

Hello lovelies!

I have the next two days off from school. Woo! I've already gotten started on building back up my vault of manicures after the 31DC and have something ready for pretty much every day this week minus one post! I'm excited to see how much I can do in the next two days. But for today, I'm back with some nail art that I did with the polishes I reviewed yesterday from Nvr Enuff Polish's Spice World Collection!

So, onto the nails!

New To Me Indie: Nvr Enuff Polish - Spice World Collection

Hello lovelies!

I have a really fun review for you guys today. This is another "new-to-me" indie brand that I've been eyeing on Instagram since they started making polishes so I'm super excited to be sharing some of their polishes with you! So, let me introduce you guys to Nvr Enuff Polish with their Spice World Collection!

52 Week Challenge: 2 Color Gradient with Teal

Ello!

Today is another day that will be filled with posts but this one is fun because it's the beginning of a new challenge. It's called the 52 Week challenge and you guessed it, it runs for a whole year! It's an interesting challenge that I'd probably butcher if I tried explaining it, so check out the Crumpet's Nail Tarts group on Facebook if you'd like to learn more!

Onto the nails!

I do know that each week there are two different prompts and you can either do one of them,  two separate designs, or combine the two ideas into one look. I decided that I'm going to try combining them each week so today I have a two color (toned) gradient featuring a teal polish for you all!
