For @nailsmagazine #31nails2014 challenge, they asked us to find some inspiration on Pinterest. Well, you could get completely lost in the Pinterest world (I almost did), but luckily one of the gals I follow had just posted a classy looking French Mani.

Lucy’s Stash has incredible art. Done with amazing precision. Plus her nails are natural and stunningly beautiful.

So I found my inspiration from her for that challenge. Here is the picture.

She is also on Pinterest, and Instagram. Great lady to follow.

Challenge Your Nail Art-Spring Flowers

Spring flowers for today’s challenge. I admit it. I am double dipping on this one. I am using it for both Challenge your Nail Art and Nails Magazine 31 day challenge.

I used acrylic to sculpt the petals of the flower (which I was trying to make look like a daffodil) as well as the little leaf. Then I painted them with acrylic paint.

I painted my nails and made the swirly designs.

Once they were dry, I laid down a blob of clear acrylic and placed the petals into that. I also used glue to help with putting it together.

Happy Easter everyone.

OOOOO now I need to work on the final prompt.

RE CREATE!

The last day of Nails Magazine 31 day Challenge is Matte.

Yesterday was the final day for March’s Nail Art Challenge from Nails Magazine so, I thought I would share.

The theme is Matte.

I used a simple black polish and a nail art pen from Sally Hansen to make the abstract art. The pen had a fine point and the color was “Pearly White.” I then highlighted some of the abstract art with white polish and a fine nail art brush.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the Matte look for nails. But for some reason, I just HAD to add some sparkle!!!!

An older post shows the difference that matte polish can make to a nail art project.

I like the look. Especially if you want to be a little edgy!

Authors note. I added a special note to these nails in remembrance of my friend who passed away 19 years ago. This one is for you Debbie

As you know, I am having a blast participating in Nail art Challenges. The one I am in currently is for Nails Magazine and it is a 31 day challenge.

They actually give you a list of different ideas to do for nail art each day for the month. (They have the hard job if you ask me!)

I don’t want to bore you all with post after post of just nail art. But this one I really love. I think it’s the color of the polish that I love most. But the outline makes it really POP!

Day 19 was OUTLINE.

Happy ST. Patty’s Day!!!!

This post is special for me as I am a good Irish gal!

I did some nail art to celebrate the day plus for two nail art challenges that I am in. Lucky for me (could be because I have the luck of the Irish!) both challenges asked for something Irish.

I choose shamrocks because I completely suck at making them. So after doing about a million shamrocks (you know us Irish, we can spin a tale!), I decided on this one! I hope you like it.
