Welcome to June!

Good afternoon!

Wow, I can't believe it's June already! This year has really flown by! Of course, I think that's because it got hot here so early, which made it seem more like summer in March -_-

With a the new month comes new challenges for the 30 Days of Colour Challenge.

Up for today is silver and/or negative space. I combined both of them. I chose to do an illusion of negative, because I hate stamping over naked nails, and I didn't want to do anything complicated. My base color was Zoya Taylor, which is like the perfect nude with my skintone. Stamped over was Apipila P.2 and MdU silver.

Really like this look :) Inlinkz for the others:

Yesterday was mani for the 52 Week Pick N Mix Challenge. The prompts for the week were plaid and/or red, orange, and green. Honestly, I couldn't see those colors working together in a plaid, so I chose to do the prompts separately. The plaid is first, the other for tomorrow :)

The plaid didn't come out quite the way I wanted, which was a picnic-like blanket. The base color was China Glaze DJ Blue my Mind. Plaid image was from myonlineshop XXIX stamped in MdU white.

Monday was PAA Mani Monday, and the prompts were neons and/or music. Really like what I came up with :) Base color is Sun of a Peach from China Glaze, which my camera totally freaked and made orange, not peach. The guitar image is from VL-3 (from aliexpress), the rock image from Cheeky jumbo plate Musical Nails. Stamping colors were MdU sky blue and black.

Sunday was the last challenge prompt for the May 30DoCC, and it was blogger's choice. I tried a look I've been wanting to do for a while, a water marble with an open, stamped image over it. Here's what I did-

Water marble with Zoya Talia, Cecilia, Nana, and Serenity over Purity. The colors bled a little too much into each other, but I still like the look of it. This mani also used an image from VL-3, stamped in black.

I did my nails for Saturday mainly because I just didn't want to go shopping with naked nails lol. I slapped on OPI AmazOn...AmazOff and On Pinks and Needles, and had done with it.

For Textured Friday, I wore what is probably my favorite texture, OPI Make Him Mine. I just love the color :)

And finally, Thursday's mani was another for the 30DoCC. Prompts were favorite brand and/or technique. This was a no brainer for me- Zoya and water marbling! Blu, Yummy, and Sailor over Purity.

Summer fun!

Good afternoon!

We just celebrated the unofficial start of summer; too bad Florida missed that memo and started summer weather weeks ago! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, holiday or no. Mine was nice, busy, but nice. I'm starting to feel like myself again :) I haven't done much for challenge prompts, compared to previous weeks, but I did do a few.

Today's and yesterday's manis are prompts for the 52 Week Pick N Mix Challenge. The prompts were patchwork and/or bright and happy. I chose to do them separately because, quite frankly, I was drawing a blank on other challenge prompts this week, or just didn't like them :P

The patchwork prompt was up for today. This started as a tape mani for me, using Zoya Purity and Demetria. I immediately regretted doing red over white, but I stuck with it. I freehanded the patchwork art in Zoya Black Swan, and topped everything with SV. Not too bad, I think, considering my freehand sucks and this my first try at a patchwork mani.

Since today was patchwork, that means yesterday was bright and happy (lol). For that, I chose China Glaze Glow With the Flow and Can I Get an Untz Untz?.

Here is the Inlinkz for this week's prompts:

Monday was Memorial, and instead of doing something patriotic (like everyone else :P), I decided to try another look that I hadn't done yet- the turquoise stone mani. I've seen many gorgeous manis with this look, and I knew it was something I wanted to try.

All the colors used in my mani were from Zoya, from base color to stamping. Colors I used were Rocky, Talia, Ziv, and Black Swan. Stamping plate was Sugar Bubbles SB 021.

This next mani I did up for the 30 Days of Colour Challenge prompt, color blocking and/or creme. My color blocking for this was a total fail, so I ended up with a creme Skittles. Colors are all from Zoya's Island Fun collection; the only one I didn't use was Demetria.

This mani was put on Thursday night and didn't come off until late Sunday. Impressive for me, since I take off every day. More impressive because I had very little tip wear and no chips.

Wednesday's mani was just the bright ass, obnoxious, retina searing neon orange that is Zoya Paz.
