Day 16: Tribal

I skipped this day because I do not like doing tribal prints, that is until I found the Ikat. Ikat is not what I think of when I think tribal but after doing some research, I think it goes in that category! I see it everywhere and the print is just so interesting and fun to do. This is one of my favorite design and I am sure to do it again.

Polish Used:

Day 30: Inspired by a Tutorial

I love Bollywood movies. I just can't get enough! (My favorite Indian actor is Shahrukh Khan, just in case you were wondering). I was on ye ol' YouTube and found this Bollywood inspired look! I decided to use it for today's challenge.
My nails couldn't handle the full design so I simplified it just a tad. Here is the original video:

I was taking a Culture of India class at my local public library and I learned how to write some things in Sanskrit. I decided to include a little extra something at the bottom of this post. If you like Henna, I have a post about some that my friend did on my hands.

Day 29: Inspired by the Supernatural/ Sci-Fi

I am going to switch up the name of this day to Sci-Fi. I did Doctor Who nails and I realllllly wanted to do them for this day but he is not exactly supernatural. I decided that I could do what ever the heck I wanted on my blog, so, I altered the day just a tiny bit.

These were based off of the seasons with Matt Smith in them. I did his little bow-tie and suspenders, a red Dalek , his little green sonic screwdriver, a Tardis, and the DW logo. Thank you to my brother who let me borrow his sonic screwdriver as a prop.

Polish Used:
Pure Ice "Celestial"
NYC "Big Apple Red", "Black Lace", "French White Tip"
Revlon "Gold Coin"
Diamond Cosmetics lime, white, and black
Art Deco in red and silver glitter
Bon Bon's in copper

Day 28: Inspired by a Flag

I was going to do the American flag but again, I did not want to go for the expected. I also thought about doing the Kansas flag (where I live) but, it is a bit too complicated. My next idea was flag semaphore flags and from there I decided to use signal flags that stand for letters and spell out my name. I added a picture of the letter flags so you can see where I got the patterns.

Polish Used:

NYC "Big Apple Red"

Pure Ice "Celestial"

Art Deco in yellow

Diamond cosmetics in white

Collection: New Stripers!

The Art Deco stripers I had have gone to pot. I am starting to replace them as they go bad, and they do very quickly. I threw the white and black out and got some new ones! This time instead of buying Art Deco, I got more Diamond Cosmetics! I fell in love with the "Frosty Pink" striper I have from them and after testing these new ones out, I am very happy. They were cheap, only $1 from Dollar Tree. The don't stink, the aren't stringy, and they are smooth. I want to go back and get more colors!

I got four colors:
"Cocoa", "Lime",  "Black", and "White"

The brown was perfect for my Thanksgiving nail art!
