Halloween Here We Come!

So today starts the season... well A Season, and that would be the season of HALLOWEEN! Now I can't wait till THE season, Woo Hoo, but that will be later...

So during the month of October, I will be endeavoring to complete a number of different challenges. I will be continuing with the ABC's that I am doing, but now will be adding three others (one of which starts Saturday, so I will tell about that one later when it starts).

So the two new ones (I think it is only two, will update if I find others) that I will be doing are both Halloween themed... Luckily both are only a few days, not everyday like the 31 Day Challenge (which would just be too much) so I should be able to pull off all of my challenges (so excited).

The first one that I will tell you about, actually has set days and the first of which will be today (that post to come). This challenge is being presented by the group Crumpet's Nail Tarts, and will be their 2012 Halloween Challenge, below you will find the challenge.

The second one is an event created by SassyNails, a fellow nail polisher. This one is the Nail-Aween Nail Art Challenge. The difference with this challenge, is you are given 10 different challenge days, but you can do them when ever you can, as long as you get them all done by the end of the month. Meaning no set day... Find this challenge below.

So one thing that is nice, is that since the Nail-Aween challenge does not have set days, if by chance I do a mani that is the same on my other challenge, it will work for this one too, so it may be easier then I thought.

Well, that concludes my announcement of my Halloween challenges (I like to tell you about a challenge before I start it, as you may have noticed before). So I hope you are ready for a lot of Halloween inspired manis (but there will be others to break up the over load), so join me for the season of Halloween through my manis!!!

The ABC's of Nail Polish

As I mentioned in my last post, I would soon be starting two new nail art challenges. The first of which starts today and is called (if you can't tell by the title) The ABC's of Nail Polish, this challenge is being hosted by Llama Nails.

This challenge will be posted every Wednesday, each week will be a different letter as we make our way through the alphabet, and will run for 26 weeks, as there are only 26 letters in the alphabet (makes sense right?).

This is going to be a fun challenge as the only rule and guide is that the mani you do some how needs to deal with the letter of the week. For example the technique, the name of the nail polish, the design, or picture, need to start with that letter. I know this probably seems confusing, but hopefully, as the challenge goes on you will understand.

I am super excited about this challenge, since it really brings out every one's creativity, and their own interpretations. You could end up with anything for each day, so looking forward to seeing everyone elses mani's


Anyways, my next post will be the first of many to come for this challenge. See you soon!

Day 18 - Half Moons

Half moons, this is an interesting design. I have never done one before, so bare with me.

So, I once again didn't really know what I wanted to do, not even what colors. So this is going to be a short post.

I don't really know what to say about this one except to please forgive me for the fact that they are not clean, and the half moon part is not done well. I had my youngest that wouldn't stay out of my lap, and kept messing with everything. But I tried to clean them up, I swear.

Once I did decide on the colors, I knew I wanted to make something a little more indepth then just the colors, so here is what I came up with.



Colors used:

White: "French White Creme" by Wet n Wild (wild shine)

Pink: "Tickled Pink" by Wet n Wild (wild shine)

Stamp Color: "French White Creme" by Wet n Wild (wild shine)

Image Plate: "BM-205" by Bundle Monster

August 2012 - 31 Day Challenge (PaA)

My first daily Challenge!!!

I am really excited, I did my first polish last night (and plan on doing them the night before so that I have the polish on the whole day  instead of feeling like I am a day behind. Also I will be posting another post after this with my first art.).

My Goals:
- First I hope that I am able to do every day, and not run behind (this is where the challenge comes in, and I am so ready to try it).
- Second hope that through out this challenge, I will be able to put up a picture in a post each day.
- Third I hope that I am actually able to come up with some creatively individual designs. (This is something I am worried about, even though I have gone through a number of art classes, and my mom was an art teacher, I don't know if I will be creative.)

So travel with me on this journey through a month of polishes and many different styles of painting my nails. Below you will find the schedule, join me f you wish! ... Let's get started... and GO!
