Glob Post - Catching up on the 31 Days Challenge

On Day #15 blogger failed to post my pre-programmed post.  I happily went off on a road trip and by the time I got back the time to join the linkie was over. 

On day #16 I hit a wall, called TRIBAL (I now officially hate tribal on my nails and I shall never attempt it again).  To make matters worse I was then slammed by work and stress, and all my pre-worked photos and blog text ideas got shoved way, way back. 

But this is my blog and this is my stress-freez one, so if I want to play catch up on the 31 Day Challenge with one massive post, then that's just what I'm going to do. 

Like anything?-- please tell me.  Don't agree?-- then I don't need to know. Please.

Now for pictures, pictures and more pictures...

31 Day Challenge - Day 14: flowers

Hi!

Superquick post!  Too long a day at work and I have dance tonigh-- must dash!
Just quickie post pics now and I will update with polish names and details later.  But there isn't much to be said. I went very minimalist for this challenge, giving myself just some 'Blackberry bling".**

**Urban Mani Dictionary - Blackberry bling: wherein you decorate only your thumb nails so they look cool while you're texting. ;-)

Sally Hansen Sealed With a Kiss

flower petals: Maybelline Pluto Pearl



flower center: Barry M Gold Glitter

31 Day Challenge - Day 12: stripes

This is sad, y'all.  Sad nail art.  My first use of stripping tape. =(


Barry M Magenta Glitter (over & under) Wet n Wild Black Creme

I have seen so many amazing stripping tape manis that... well this is just lame.

But I loved Barry M Magenta Glitter.  It's simply gorgeous. 

Carry on.

NOTD - A Bad Case of The Blues

Hi!  This super quick post is dedicated to my friend, Ginger Eleanor. ♥



"A Bad Case of The Blues"

I will update it with more info on the colors used laters today. Right now, my car has a doctor's appointment.  =(    All better now!  Let's get on with the show, shall we?

I have a personal summer challenge going.  It's just a little list of some things that I want to get done.  I keep it as an album on my facebook page, so it's ilustrated.  One item is "to wear 50 untried polishes from my collection".  So I found a cool picture online and I've used that as my inspiration/representation: Fab Fatale's blue ombre nails.  "A Bad Case of The Blues" here is my interpretation of this fab mani. ♥ 

Want to know more about the ten colors I used? 

NOTD Summer Trends: denim neon

Hi!  Here's a pretty mani I did a couple of weeks ago, to celebrate the summer.
Little did I know I was 100% on trend...

Barry M Denim and Claire's Sunshine

Denim and neon in "the thing" now... hey, neon-colored denim is the thing.  Yeah... not so much for my closet.  But for my nails?  Bring it! =)
