31DC Day 9: Rainbow

I was excited for day 9 of the 31 day challenge, since the prompt is rainbowI had a hard time thinking of what I would do for this, but then I came across Jane's 31DC Day 9  from Nailside. It's so cute, and I loved it so much that I had to try it out.

What I used over China Glaze Snow:
Sally Hansen Diamonds & Rubies
petites #34 Mango
Claire's Yellow Brick Road
Mix of Claire's Yellow Brick Road + L'Oreal #530 now you sea me
L'Oreal now you sea me
Wet N Wild Sapphire Blue
Sally Hansen HD  Hi-Definition #01 Cyber
China Glaze Fuchsia

31DC Day 7: Black & White

For day #7 of the 31 day challenge, the prompt is Black & White. I really wanted to do tuxedo nails for this, but I opted for a more simple design and I figured I'd save the tuxedos for another time. 

I started with 2 coats of NYC French White Tip and let dry.


Then, my friend (she really wanted to do my nails ☺ ) took a toothpick, dipped in Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris, and let me say I love this polish! I recently bought it to replace my other black nail polish and it goes on so smoothly and dries really quickly. She just started drawing on squiggly lines and they turned out much better than I expected. They remind me of Sarah's 31DC Day 7 nails at Chalkboard Nails! (Of course, hers are much more fabulous ♥ )


...And here are my other cousin's nails! My friend who did mine also did hers. :)

RIP Avalanna ♥ 31DC Day 6: Violet (Angel Wings + Tutorial)

September 30, 2012.
Last Wednesday, 26 September 2012, one of the cutest and sweetest little girls you would have ever met passed away at age 6 due to a brain cancer she had. Avalanna Routh meant so much to so many people, including me. Her condition was AT/RT, atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor, and there is no cure.
Avalanna was so sweet and such an inspiration. I really do miss her, when I heard she couldn't make it, my heart broke. I'm still so depressed, and so is Justin Bieber. I think he loved her the most. ♥

"@justinbieber: My angel"

"'@justinbieber: :) great night"

My manicure for day 6 of the 31DC is for Justin Bieber, who kicked off his #BELIEVEtour yesterday in Arizona, and of course, for Avalanna. love you ♥ xo
31DC Day 6 prompt: Violet
The base is two coats of Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition nail polish #01 Cyber.

After that dries a little, I used L.A. Colors Art Deco in white to paint on the shape of an angel wing.

Then, I added swoops of glitter to make the wing more distinguishable, using L.A. Colors Art Deco in Silver.

These pictures really don't do the angel wing justice, but I like how it came out.
Rest in paradise, sweet Avalanna. I love you so much, you're in our hearts forever angel ♥ xxxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIALL HORAN!!! + 31DC Day 4: Green

OMG OMG OMG! hahah Hello everyone! Well, as you can clearly see, today (13 September 2012) is Niall J. Horan's 19th birthday, and I am so excited!! :) for those of you who don't know Niall, he is the Irish 1/5 of the British-Irish boyband One Direction ♥ and today, he is 19. :') his twitter! ---> Niall Horan

Look at his cute little teeth :)

I have been waiting for almost a WEEK to post the "31DC Day 4: Green" but, I wanted to wait for Niall's birthday, since his favorite color is green, and in celebration of his birthday, to do these nails.
I'm kind of in a hurry to post this, as Niall's birthday is almost over...(London is 5 hours ahead of me!)


Explanation:
Since he is Irish, on my thumbnail I painted a little Irish flag using NYC Times Square Tangerine, LA Colors Art Deco in white, and a mix of Claire's Yellow Brick Road + Wet N Wild Bijou Blue (I didn't have the green I wanted to use for this!). Then, the next three nails spell out " H B D," short for happy birthday. On my pinky, I painted on "19" in white, and outlined it in LA Colors Art Deco in silver.
On my other hand, I spelled out his name, "N I A L L" and a little heart at the end ♥

Yellow Brick Road + Bijou Blue
