Happy Friday, everyone! I have some beautiful polishes I've been swatching to share with you soon but in the meantime I have another look for the 31 Day Challenge! Today's prompt is "inspired by fashion" and I took inspiration from a dress I saw one of the characters wear on The Young and the Restless earlier this week!

31 Day Challenge: Day 24 - Weirwood Tree from Game of Thrones

Hello! Sorry I have been absent the last week, but I am continuing on with the 31 Day Challenge. Better to finish late than never! My current prompt is "inspired by a book" and I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this one! I am semi-cheating because my inspiration photo came from the TV show Game of Thrones, but it was originally a book and the Weirwood Trees were in the books!

31 Day Challenge: Day 23 - Psycho

Hello everyone! My next prompt in the 31 Day Challenge is "inspired by a movie" and I chose one of my favorites to take inspiration from! I love old movies, one of my favorite genres is the old thriller/mystery movies. When I was around 10 or 12, I discovered Alfred Hitchcock and made it my mission to see all of his movies so I spent a lot of time at video stores hunting down all the VHS tapes! (Yes, I'm that old.) I love everything he's done and his movies are among my favorites that I can watch over and over again. One of them is the classic, Psycho.

31 Day Challenge: Day 22 - One-Eyed, One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! I had a great Friday and Saturday with some amazing friends and gorgeous scenery (and temps!). Today wasn't so great, but I managed to do a little nail art tonight to continue on the 31 Day Challenge! Today is the "inspired by a song" prompt and I just had to do one of my favorite "Halloween" songs since I was a kid! (You can check out the mani I did based on my other favorite Halloween song in the 31 Day Challenge in 2014 here!)

31 Day Challenge: Day 21 - The Axe!

It's Friday!! And not only is it Friday, but I am getting ready to head up north to see a friend and enjoy some Autumn-like temps! I can't wait! I am also super excited to show you the mani I am wearing right now and tell you the story behind it!

31 Day Challenge: Day 20 - Water Marble

Nothing to Dislose

Happy Thursday! I am back with another look for the 31 Day Challenge! This one sort of feels like a "cheat" because I did an accent nail rather than all of my nails - but this took me forever! I am not talented at water marbling so I am calling this accent nail a success! LOL!

31 Day Challenge: Day 19 - Galaxy Nails

Hello again! I have a quick post for you tonight with some nails that I absolutely love! Today's prompt is galaxy and I like these better than any galaxy nails I have ever done!

31 Day Challenge: Day 18 - Half Moon Spider Webs

Hello! I have a late post tonight, but I love this look! I am not usually a fan of half moon manis on myself. I love them on other people but they always seem odd on my nails. I wanted to think outside the box for today's look and was feeling in a Halloween mood so I decided to make some half moon spider webs!

31 Day Challenge: Day 17 - Glitter Honeycomb Gradient

Welcome to a new week, everyone! My Monday isn't going too bad as far as Mondays go. I hope you're all having an easy start to your week too! I have my glitter design for the 31 Day Challenge today!

31 Day Challenge: Day 16 - Layered Triangles

Hello! I am on the geometric prompt for the 31 Day Challenge and decided to do some fun layered triangles. I think this mani is very 80s, which is not usually my style, but it's fun!

31 Day Challenge: Day 15 - Delicate Roses

Hello everyone! I'm back with another look for the 31 Day Challenge! You may have seen my pic of my nail of the day on Instagram. I enjoyed wearing it so much while I was out running errands today! (I will have proper swatches of these soon!) I was so tired when I got home I didn't have it in me to freehand the design I had in mind, so I pulled out my stamping supplies and used a beautiful rose pattern over my NOTD!

31 Day Challenge: Day 14 - Floral Silhouette

Happy Friday, everyone! I have another design for the 31 Day Challenge for you today! Today's prompt is floral. To be honest, I am usually sort of intimidated by florals for some reason. I'm not sure why, I think I make them super complicated in my head. But this mani popped up in my memories on Facebook from a year ago today and it's one of my favorite so I decided to do a different take on it!

31 Day Challenge: Day 13 - Peacock Feathers

Happy Hump Day! We are finally getting close-ish to the weekend! I am still working my way through the 31 Day Challenge. Still slightly behind but I am enjoying it and doing it as I can, which is what's important to me! Today's prompt is animal print and I really wanted to challenge myself to think outside the box of typical animal print and decided to do some peacock feathers!

31 Day Challenge: Day 12 - Popcorn

Hello! I have a fun look for today's prompt in the 31 Day Challenge! Today's theme is stripes and I took inspiration one again from Sheila at Pointless Cafe. I had a horrible headache most of the day and was lacking inspiration for this prompt when I started feeling better. Then I remembered her fun popcorn nail art and thought I'd give it a try!

31 Day Challenge: Day 11 - Red and Black Polka Dots

Thrice is nice, yes? Well I hope so! I am back for the third time today with another nail art look for the 31 Day Challenge! The prompt for this mani is polka dots. Sounds easy enough. Except I will tell you a little secret - even after all these years I still suck at polka dots! Give me a brush any day over a dotting tool. But, I did enjoy doing this mani!

I used the gorgeous Alter Ego Well Read (review coming soon) with simple black dots. I love red and black together!

Thanks for reading and happy polishing!

31 Day Challenge: Day 10 - Gradient Skittle

Hello again! I'm back with another look for the 31 Day Challenge! The prompt is gradient and I wanted to do something a little different than a traditional gradient so I went with gradient skittles.

31 Day Challenge: Day 9 - Rainbow Splash

Late post, but I am here with another look for the 31 Day Challenge! And it's a look I am super happy with! I decided to do some fun watercolor nail art for the rainbow prompt!
