Day 7 31 DC - Ombre or Skittle

Hi Everyone!

So today we have an Ombre Mani. I was originally going to do something more colorful for this, but I have a perfect ombre set of black through white so I decided to use them.

Day 6 31 DC - Favorite Color Family

Hi Everyone!

I apologize for the late post again, and in advance for this mani. I'm not terribly pleased with it, but when I started this blog I told myself that even when I messed up I would post it, because even things that look easy when you watch a hundred videos and tutorials online are hard when you do them in real life!

With everything that has happened this weekend with my living room basically flooding and my heat not working, and not feeling well to boot, I'm not sure WHY I decided attempting a water marble again was a good idea.. maybe it's the fever.

Day 5 31DC - Purple

Hi everyone! Much later post than in the past few days due to an awful situation. I have been in the habit of writing and scheduling my posts the night before, but yesterday I had a pipe burst in my house so there just wasn't time. Thankfully everything seems to be okay now!
So today's challenge prompt is purple. And here's what I came up with.

Day 4 31DC - Pink


Hi Everyone! It's Day 4 of the challenge, and that means Pink.

I have to tell you, I'm not a big fan of pink, so I was kind of dreading doing today. However, I'm alright with how this turned out.

Day 3 31DC - Gold

Hi Everyone!!

So today marks day 3 of the challenge! I'm really excited about this mani. Not to toot my own horn, but I think it came out really neat! Not to mention the picture quality is much better, as I'm finally using my actual camera with better lighting.

So, I am super into Steampunk. If you've never heard of it, it's a little hard to describe. Basically, it's Victorian style meets futuristic alternate reality where everything is powered by steam? If that makes any sense whatsoever. It's very industrial, but there's also lacy, dapper elements to it. Do a Google search and you'll see some really neat stuff.

My fiance and I did Steampunk style costumes for Halloween last year. We made all of our accessories ourselves with gears and keys and such from Michael's. So, I decided to utilize them in my nail art for today, and this is the result!
