BFF Challenge: Cath Kidston

So today's nail art is based on Cath Kidston. Cath Kidston is known for her nostalgic floral prints, so of course I had to recreate one!

These are the nails I did:

 I used Sation Board Girl Blue as the base, followed by Barry M Bright Pink for the base of the flowers, and then Essie Ole Caliente for the flower detail, and A green Sally Hansen that doesn't have a label that I got at the Dollar Tree. Ignore my shiny cuticles, I applied a different cuticle oil that I don't normally use before I took photos.




This is what I was going for!

I think it turned out well! What do you think?

Freehand Roses

 For today's nails I did a freehand Roses. I think these turned out very well.  

I used Zoya Skylar as the base.  Then I used Zoya Bevin for the leaves.  I used Color Club Sugar Sheer for the base of the flowers and then I used Barielle Cosmic Kiss for the accent on the flowers. 






I really like these. They only took about 20 minutes to do.   :)

Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge: Inspired by a Book

"Just for the record, the weather today is partly suspicious with chances of betrayal.”

For my choice in the Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge I chose Inspired by a book.  My all time favorite author is Chuck Palahniuk(the Author of Fight Club), so of course I am doing one of his books. :)

My inspiration today comes from Diary, which is my favorite book.

"Misty Wilmot has had it. Once a promising young artist, she's drinking too much and working as a waitress in a hotel. Her husband, a contractor, is in a coma after a sucide attempt, an his clients are threating misty with lawsuits over a series of vile messages they've discovered on the walls of houses he remodeled.
Suddenly, Misty's artistic talent returns. Inspired but confused by a burst of creativity, she soon finds herself a pawn in a much larger conspiracy that threatens to cost hundreds of lives. What unfolds is a dark, hilarious story from America's most inventive nihilist, and Palahniuk's most impressive work to date."

This book has some really neat cover art, and i want to show you my nails inspired by it.

Have you read anything by Palahniuk?

What is your favorite book?

Phantom of the Opera Nails!

Ok, so ALL of my friends know that Phantom of the Opera is my ALL TIME favorite movie. (even my sweet 16 was phantom themed, and my puppy is named Raoul.) And this past summer my awesome boyfriend took me to see it on Broadway! :)



Today I have Phantom of the Opera nails. I thought they were needed since I got my Konad M73 yesterday! I have been dreaming about this manicure ever since I first saw the plate, and it doesn't disappoint. :)

I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White as the base.
Wet N Wild Black Creme as the music stamp and the black accent for the mask.
LA Colors Red Striper for the red rose.
Color Club Perfect Mol-Ten as the stem and leaves of the rose.





I absolutely love this. :) I Don't want to take it off!
