#31DC2015 Days 17 & 18

Hey guys! Today I have both days 17 & 18 of the 31 Day Challenge for you. I was super lazy for day 17 and just put on Elf Gina Girl on and called it done. Well technically its glitter sooo...ha. On day 18 the prompt was half moon. So I did a negative space half moon manicure with Rimmel London Man Overboard and Nicole By O.P.I. Be Awesome. Both are topped with inm Out The Door top coat.

My Fandoms Nail Art Wheel


 Hey everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been around much, I've been pretty busy with PSEO/early college stuff. But most of the registering and such is now behind me, so I'm ready to jump back into blogging! Today I have a new nail art wheel for you all! As you know, I love me some books and TV. Yes, they are probably destroying my social life, but I can't really bring myself to care.

So I painted a nail wheel for some of my TV and book obsessions. Most of these are book fandoms, but I have 3 or 4 TV fandoms in there. So I am missing plenty of TV shows like Supernatural, Breaking Bad, etc. All of these are free hand painted with nail polish. I'm not going to list most of the nail polishes but if you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments.


1. Pretty Little Liars -A: I love the TV show and I'm currently reading book #2!
2. American Horror Story: I've watched seasons 1-3 plus like half of season 4. I'm currently rewatching season 2 (which is probably my favorite season).
3. The Vampire Diaries: I've read all the books and seen every episode! This is probably my second favorite TV show behind Supernatural. 
4: Beautiful Creatures: I've read all the books and seen the movie. The nail art is supposed to show the fight between the light and the dark, and a moon. 


5. Heroes of Olympus: This book series by Rick Riordan is one of my favorites! It's a middle grade series where the main characters are demigods (half greek god/half human) and they are trying to save the world. 
6. If I Stay: I am so sorry for this sad excuse for a cello. It doesn't even look anything like a cello. But I have read If I Stay and the sequel Where She Went. I've also seen the movie!
7. Shatter Me: This nail art is based of the Shatter Me trilogy by Tahereh Mafi. I have read the first two books.
8. The Infernal Devices: The spin off series of the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. This series is probably my 3rd favorite series of all time. On the nail is the rune for parabatai.


9. The Percy Jackson Series: Another amazing middle grade series by Rick Riordan. I've watched both of the movies as well, but only liked the first one. Don't even talk to me about the second. 
10. The Fault In Our Stars: Tears. Crying. Sorrow. I've had my heart broken by the book and the movie. 
11. Vampire Academy: My second favorite book series by Richelle Mead. I have read the whole series and watched the movie. 
12. The Mara Dyer Trilogy: This is based of the Mara Dyer trilogy by Michelle Hodkin. I am in love with this trilogy and it is one of my most recent favorites. 


13. Harry Potter: I don't know if I am even allowed to say that I am in the HP fandom because I have only read one book. I have seen some of the movies. But I absolutely adored the first book and can't wait to read the second. 
14. The Mortal Instruments: This is beautiful 6 book series by Cassandra Clare. Shown is the rune for angelic power. 
15. Divergent: I have read all of the books (including the companion Four) and seen the first movie. I hope to see the second movie asap! This is supposed to be the dauntless symbol but I kind of failed.
16. Bloodlines Series: Say hello to my favorite series of all time! The Bloodlines series is by Richelle Mead and is a spin off series of the Vampire Academy Series. Shown is a golden lily. 
17. It's Kind Of A Funny Story: I have the book and seen the movie. They were both so beautiful. 
18. Hunger Games: I guess I only got half of the symbol in this picture. If you want to see it in its full beauty, look at first picture. I have read all of the books and seen all of the movies and adored them.

#31DC2 Day 23 Indie Polish

Hey guys! Happy Friday! I hope you all had a good week. Mine was pretty stressful with school and a new puppy that is just way too stubborn. I forgot how hard it is to raise a puppy! I also started looking into colleges.

So I have a simple post for you today. I am showing you the 23rd day of 31 Day Challenge 2.0. The theme for day is indie polish. Honestly, I love indie polish but I never buy any. I hope to start to soon though! Out of my very very limited collection of indies, I have the perfect Mortal Instruments collection from Fandom Cosmetics. If you don't know, I am a huge shadowhunters fan!

My base is 2 coats of China Glaze Metro Pollen-tin. On top of that I have Fandom Cosmetics My Magnificent Self and To Love is To Destroy. I topped it off with Nicole by OPI Drying Drops.

#31DC2 Day 22 Glitter

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great day. Overall I had a good day and I am super excited for today's post! I did some nail art last night for the 31 Day Challenge 2.0 and it may be one of my favorite manis that I have done. The prompt for day 22 is glitter but I didn't want to just have a glitter topper over a polish. So I went for a design that I have wanted to try for a while, and added a gold glitter design over top.

My base color is Essie Naughty Nautical. Over that I randomly painted some small lines and dots with China Glaze Mingle with Kringle. After that I put some black polish over water and sprayed it with hair spray with the web effect. With some striping tape, I added the gold glitter triangles with China Glaze De-Light. I finished the design off with Sally Hansen Diamond Shine top coat.

12 Days of Christmas Challenge Days 8 & 9

Hey guys! I have been putting two days into one, for this challenge for a while and I will probably keep doing so. But I am doing the manis on time, you can see the photos on the Facebook group page if you are a member. So are all of you in the Christmas spirit yet? It has been creeping up on my lately more and lately as I make and buy gifts for my family. We still don't have our Christmas tree yet, but we will have it this weekend!

The prompt for day 8 is Christmas decorations. I decided to go for something mildly original: the star on top of the tree. I also have a water marble that actually turned out nice and some glitter. I used NYC French Tip White as my base for the Christmas tree. Then I used Sally Hansen Tan Lime and Zoya Bar. The water marble is Sally Hansen Tan Lime, Sally Hansen Green with Envy, and Sally Hansen Red Carpet. The glitter is Zoya Bar.




The prompt for day 9 is glitter. I went pretty simple with this prompt. Shown is Sally Hansen Rosey Shooter over OPI Green on the Runway. I love this combo together.

#31DC2 Day 2: Yellow or Green

It's the second day of the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge 2.0! You can find more info about this challenge from its creators, which are listed in the photo to my left! Today you can choose between yellow and green. My choice was yellow!

Today I was rather lazy and didn't really do nail art but glitter. The end result reminds me way too much off bumble bees! But I do like it. Plus the yellow smells like bananas! I can't stop smelling my nails.

For this design I used Sally Girl Banana and Fandom Cosmetics To Love is To Destroy. I topped it off with Essie Good to Go!



Day 2: Yellow or Green:

Supernatural (The TV Show) Inspired Nail Art

Supernatural is the main reason that I haven't been blogging as much as usual. I feel in love with that show and have been watching it all the time. Like really, its a problem, I don't do anything else. So I thought I would show you guys some love for Supernatural with nail art! But first here is a summary:

Supernatural is about two brothers, Dean and Sam Winchester. Their mother died when they were young and a demon killed her. Their dad, John, became obsessed with hunting monsters like demons, vampires, werewolves, and all sorts of killers. Then it became a family tradition and the brothers start hunting as well. There is also romantic/lusty relationships, physic powers, other hunters, and Bobby. 



I used OPI You're So Vain-illa for my base. My thumb is inspired by a Angel Banishing Symbol and I used NYC Black Velvet and China Glaze So Blue Without You. My pointer is inspired by Dean's car and they are his license plate numbers, I used NYC Black Velvet. For my middle finger I did a galaxy with way to many polishes to name. For my ring finger I drew a pentagram with NYC Black Velvet and outlined it with Sinful Colors San Fransisco. My pinkie finger is a gun drawn with NYC Black Velvet. I topped it all of with Essie Good to Go.
