Inspired by Supernatural: Day 29 of the 31 Day Challenge

Today I wanted to go for something pretty and sparkly. Halloween is just around the corner and I'm sure i'll have plenty of ghosts and ghouls on my nails then! As soon as I saw Sally Hansen Emerald Express in the UK's version of dusty polish hunting, Poundland, I knew what I was going to do - dragons scales! Not incredibly impressed with these but omg that colour! I am in love!

Inspired by a Flag: Day 28 of the 31 Day Challenge

50 GFC followers! Thank you guys for putting up with me! ;) This really does mean a lot to me! I started this blog as I love nail art and I love this community - and thank you for welcoming me in!

For my inspiration I went to my county flag - the Yorkshire flag. This is the Yorkshire White Rose which comes form the house of York. I am definitely going to be wearing this again on Yorkshire day next year!

Inspired by Artwork: Day 27 of the 31 Day Challenge

Here is a technique I have been wanting to try for a while... Watercolour nails! And it fits quite nicely don't you think?

This was created using Rebecca Likes Nails' tutorial using blobs of polish and acetone! I love this look. I will defiantly be trying  this out again - maybe in a rainbow of monotone nails? Neon? Hmmm. IdeasIdeasIdeas.

Thanks for the peek! Go check out the awesome work below... some great work for today's challenge!

Inspired by Fashion: Day 25 of the 31 Day Challenge

Here is my entry for inspired by fashion. Ever since I saw this dress I have wanted it! Who wouldn't?

And not so long ago I found a cheap chain that would be perfect. Unfortuantly the weather has been awful. And then my camera ran out of battery. Today is just not my day! I hope tomorrow is! I'm going back to university!

Inspired by A Book: Day 24 of the 31 Day Challenge

Sorry for disappearing! The madness of doing this challenge while moving to uni finally caught up to me. Add a St Johns Ambulance duty for freshers week (where all traces of polish have to be removed and many vomit bowls were involved) and I missed two days. I am determined that I will catch up by the end!

So for today, a simple, very quick manicure with the inspiration of a university science textbook - The Cell. So - cells! You can imagine how excited I was for Llarowe's new science plate! It's actually the first official day of university today - so it fits!

Inspired By A Colour - Day 21 of the 31 Day Challenge

Its the start of the 'inspired by' challenges and it is these which are going to be a real struggle for me. Today I was inspired by blue (and my new cheeky plates) to create a nautical design. Execution wasn't my best (especially the stripping tape. I don't know what happened there!) but with the 31 Day Challenge I have just been so rushed! I'll definitely be preparing for the next one! (And won't be moving to a new house huh!)

Watermarble: Day 20 of the 31 Day Challenge

So these are messy as it was my first go, at 3am, standing in my new kitchen while chatting to a room mate (who I made choose the colours ^^), but they were an experiment and I learned new things like putting the Vaseline in the cracks of your knuckles and check for bubbles and its only a thin layer of polish on your nail so be really careful with acetone and top coat... And to look for some ideas on how to create shapes and patterns. As I will be trying this again. I didn't manage to get all that good with the designs but I think everything else worked out just fine! That's what experimenting is for!

(So of course pictures are with flash unfortunately. Tomorrow I'll be ordering a white light lamp!)

I'll definitely be doing more holo water marbling! Soooo pretty just to see a flash of it!

 And using a polish I only got today! Even better!
