TNCC Fashion Inspired Nails Look 1

Hey everyone, clearly I'm losing my mind or I'm just running on fumes for my memory cause I totally forgot I hadn't posted my first look for The Nail Challenge Collaborative fashion themed nails for the month. So I am getting to it right now....

I'm using a pair of jeans from American Eagle that I got at least 2 years ago I believe. I love these distressed jeans look. I choose to try to dupe this design on my nails....

30 Day Nail Challenge Day 17- 3D Nail Art

Omg ladies am I in big trouble in nail challenge land or what!!! I got so behind in this challenge it's crazy.... 

Well moving on today I have a polish I got in a set by Paula Dorf that I purchased from Marshall's in Chicago. The set of 3 is $6.99. For this challenge I used PD's "creamsicle" & Sinful Colors "Clementine" in a gradient under the 3D fruit nail decals from bornprettystore some months ago.

At first I was going to stop doing the challenge cause I had fallen behind but I'm going to finish it out....

30 Day Nail Challenge Day 12- Fishtail

Happy Friday eve people.... Here are my challenge nails. Won't be home till Sunday... I feel so helpless w/o my polishes lol. 

I did the best with what I am working with. My fishtail nails....

Day 30- Inspired by a tutorial

And then there was one..... One more day that is of this 31 day nail challenge! Today's challenge asks me to do a mani inspired by a tutorial, I've been a huge fan of the YouTube channel Cutepolish for some time now. I found out about this channel via a nail app I found on my iPhone.

This easy technique is called "The Braid" and it's very easy to do using 3 colors of polish and a roll of your finger with each brush stroke. For this mani I used China Glaze Breast Cancer polish called "Pool Party", Ruby Kisses HD "Tinkerbell Teal"and Orly "Dazzle".

Enjoy your Tuesday.

Day 27- Inspired by artwork

Hi ladies today I am showing you another mani challenge, today is do a nail art inspired by artwork. I chose the late Keith Haring because I think his work is simple but yet meaningful. I love the little faceless people and the colorful pieces he does.

Hope all of you are having a great weekend!!

Day 23- Inspired by a movie

Hi all, Tuesday is here, I hope Monday wasn't too bad on you. I have here today's challenge which is to pick a movie that inspired your mani; I chose NEW JACK CITY in case you couldn't figure it out.

It is a hood classic to say the least. The chocolate bar is a souvenir I got in JFK NYC airport many years ago I vowed never to eat, I thought it was a nice touch.

Have a great day.

Day 19- Galaxy

Ahhhhh I'm not too thrilled with my first try of galaxy nails, but I tried so here it is......

Happy Friday

Day 17 challenge- Glitter

Happy Hump Day ladies, we've got one leg over the hump to Friday. Today I have #17 of the challenge and it calls for some good ol glitter! I've had the pleasure of using this untried twin pack of OPI polish (Breast Cancer Awareness). The pink polish is called "I think in pink" & the glitter is "You glitter be good to me".

The creator of the pack knows how to pair up 2 good polishes for layers in my opinion, they nailed it.

Day 15 challenge- Delicate print

Now when you think of delicate print, what do you think of? Ok I'll wait..... I googles and surveyed people and no one could give me a definite answer on what delicate print is, so today I give you what I thought it is forgive me.....

By the way this polish is called Slapper

Day 13 challenge- Animal print

Hi ladies, I don't want to take too much of your time cause it's SA TUR DAY.... I have here some animal print nails, specifically giraffe print. I didn't want to do the cliché leopard,cheetah and zebra print so I did this.

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend safely :)

Day 10 challenge- Gradient

Hi all, today I have to show you my try at the gradient technique. It's pretty neat and easy if YouTube has anything to do with it. I've seen people refer to this as Ombré also, so I guess the term is interchangeable. I've used two pink OPI polishes for the technique in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

I hope you ladies are keeping yourselves "abreast" of your self check ups lol :)

Day 7- Black & White nails

Hey people, hope your enjoying your weekEND this Sunday. Today is day 7 and I chose 1 untried polish Zoya "Raven" and a polish I've used several times, Sally Hansen "White On". I am pleased with the formula on both being that I own several bottles of both brands and have no problem with the formulas.

The cross graphics are meant to have streaks, it is like a symbol of something running down off of it.

Enjoy your day

Day 6 nail challenge- Violet

Hey ladies, man I almost forgot about posting this mani cause I've been lazy all day; it's Saturday so you know how that go.

Today I used an untried polish from the Color Club "poptastic" collection called Mrs. Robinson. It's a pretty color that shows opaque in just two coats, I have so much faith in Color Club it's bananas!! It seems to dry semi-matte so I used Ulta x-dry on it and it shined right up.

So yeah that's how the cookie crumbles.....Hope you're enjoying your weekend :)

October nail challenge Day 1- Red nails

Hi ladies, my best homegirl and I have decided to take part in a challenge this month. I've seen this going on last month but didn't want to jump in during the middle. By the way my girl has started her own blog as well so go and check hers out here at lacqsofluv when you're free, thanks.

Today is RED NAILS so I decided to use 2 DS (dead stock) polishes, one is Butter London's "Macbeth" and the other is by Color Club from their glitter collection. One thing I don't like about buying Color Club packs in TJMaxx, Ross and etc. is that some of the packs don't name the models of the polishes.  I don't normally wear a lot of red  nails but being that it's fall I don't mind wearing it and whenever I can add some glitter, I do generously.

Thanks for looking :)
