ALIQUID Lacquer Adopt a Shelter Dog Charity Polish

*provided for honest review

Hello ladies! I've taken a few days off because I went on a little vacation out of town. I will fill you in on my trip soon! Today I am sharing with you a gorgeous polish along with a sheet of dog-themed vinyls that were created for a good cause. 

31DC2016 Day 10: Quatrefoil Gradient

Hello lovelies! It's already day 10 of the 31 Day Challenge! Can you believe it? Only 21 more days to go.. Aye yai yai. Deep breaths.. I can do this! Today's mani is inspired by the "gradient" prompt. I cannot believe how crisp and clean the quatrefoil design came out with my vinyl stencils. I think that may be the best I've ever done before. As the Challenge goes on I keep thinking, now THIS mani is my favorite so far, and today's nails make me think that once again. 

31DC2016 Day 7: Greek Marble

Last night I spent hours trying to decide on a design for today's "Inspired by black and white" prompt. I had lots of vague ideas but nothing solid enough for me to get started on one. I think the reason inspiration was evading me was because I had already come up with an idea- probably about a year ago. I've been waiting to do this just for the challenge and then totally forgot. I'm so glad I finally remembered!

ABC Challenge: M is for Mermaid

Happy Friday ladies! You know what that means.. ABC Challenge day! Today's prompt is the letter "M", we're halfway through the alphabet already! If you still want to join in the fun, there's no time like the present. Read all the info you need right here.

ABC Challenge: I is for Ice Cream

Hello my lovely society sisters! I am so excited for today's ABC Challenge! First off, thank you to those on Instagram who helped me choose my theme! I originally planned on an Independence Day design because the timing was perfect. Then I remembered this ice cream design I've been wanting to do. I kept going back and forth and just couldn't make up my mind on my own. The votes went in favor of ice cream, so there you have it!

Blue Cirque Reciprocal Gradient

Hello everyone! Today I have some quick nail art for you. For this mani I had the idea in mind to do a vertical reciprocal gradient using  X pattern stencils. I tried it on my other hand first and realized you couldn't really tell what was going on at all. So I tried a different approach, clipping off some of the Xs. I'm still not sure if it would have been better to remove some of the vinyl from the sides instead of the top. I guess I should have done more experimenting first. But the way that I went with made a big enough difference that I liked how it turned out. I hope you do too!

Moo Moo's Signatures Skittlette

*purchased by me

Hey hey ladies! I have a simple nail art post for you today! It's a pretty, not-quite-Spring but not-quite-Winter combination that I am loving right now. I had been lusting after this complex gray shade- Moo Moo's Signatures Molly Moo- and was so excited to get my hands on it. When I finally got around to purchasing it I decided to snatch up these two pastel shade as well.

piCture pOlish Blue Skittlette

*nothing to disclose

Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend. I had a fun time with friends and family, it's a little sad that it's at an end. At least I'll have some keepsakes in the form of (what I know will be amazing) family photos taken by my very talented cousin. 

Back to the blog- I am still computerless. I have high hopes this will be remedied soon. In the meantime I have these photos that have luckily for me been sitting in my draft folder. Typing this out on my phone is limiting so again I will be brief. Today's nail art is a simple look created with three piCture pOlish shades and nail vinyls. PiCture pOlish makes some amazing blues and I wanted to show some of them off together. This was originally a possible entry for last year's PP Nail Art Quarterly. With some help from a friend, I chose to enter this look instead. This mani has been sitting by the wayside ever since. I still like how it turned out though and hope you do too!
