Day 20: Water Marbled

If I could take one sick day from the 31 Day Challenge, it would be today! The mani you see here is my third attempt at a decent water marble. By the time I finished I was suffocating under the sheer amount of marbling fail. Never again, guys, never again!

In hindsight, my experience with water marbling was not that bad, but at the time all I wanted to do was scrub this off my nails as soon as the pictures were taken. It looks kind of nice, but for the hours, sweat and tears it stole from me I probably won't be doing it again any time soon!

Head over to Rie and Cristina's blogs to see if they had better luck than me with their water marbling!

Day 19: Galaxy Nails

For the 19th day of our challenge, we all had to create some Galaxy Nails. I've done some of these in the past (see here and here) and I love the look. You really can't get them wrong! Rie and Cris both agree with me today - they're so much easier than they look.

So if you're looking at these pictures and thinking you want your nails to look like this but doubting your ability, DON'T! Just grab a sponge, some nail polishes and have a party on your nails. I promise it'll look great.

Rie and Cristina have created some gorgeous galaxy nails today.

Here are the polishes I used in order, left to right.

When you look at these mismatched colours lined up, you wouldn't think they could combine to make such a pretty manicure.

Day 18: Half Moons

Sorry today's post is a little later than usual, it's been a very busy and fun few days for me.

I'm loving this blue/green polish that I picked up in the pharmacy for 99p! It's one of those shades that's stuck right between blue and green so it's been a hot topic of debate today. What do you think?

Don't forget to check out Cristina and Rie's half-moons too!

Video Tutorial: Simple Flower Nail Art

Here is a quick tutorial for the flower nails I created on Day 14. I had so many lovely comments and the design is just so simple to create so I thought I'd show you how I went about it.

All you need is to create this look yourself is a few colours of your choice; a base colour and however many colours you decide to use for the flowers, and a dotting tool. And if you don't have a dotting tool, bobby pins make a great subsitute!

Day 17: Glitter

So today we come to Glitter manicures. Glitter and I have a strained relationship. I go through phases of loving it and at other times I just detest the stuff and get the urge to throw away every polish I own that contains glitter! The main reason for the hatred is the hassle it takes to remove it. I always use the foil method for removal these days to minimise any stress!

Don't forget to check out Cristina and Rie's glittery nails too!

Day 16: Tribal Print

I've been dreading this day for a while. I love tribal nail art but had no idea how to come up with a decent design myself, however, once I forced myself to sit down and actually do it, the ideas just kept coming and I am completely in love with this design!

The black detail is all created with acrylic paint which has allowed me to get the crisp lines that I know I couldn't have achieved by using black nail polish. At the moment I only have black and white acrylic paint but I think I'm going to have to look out for some more cheap pots in a better range of colours.

You should go and see what Rie and Cristina came up with today too!
