Day 13 of 31 Day Challenge: Animal Print

On this day I cheated I am still sick but trying to do the challenge so I cheated... I used Kiss Nail Strips and a Silver base coat and Connect The Dots. I love Kiss Nail Strips more than the other brands I feel like they adhere better than some of the other ones I have tried out.

On to my challenge!!

Day 6 of 31 Day Challenge: Violet

Day 6 is Violet and once again I used several colors and did a splatter mani. I like how this came out because it was my first real attempt to do a splatter. First I started with a white basecoat then I tried 2 different methods first I tried the little spray bottle method which you put the polish and some thinner into a small spray bottle and spray the nails... It was kinda messy but I was pleased with the base effect then the 2 of the colors didn't show that well so I went over again using the straw method and these are the results!! 

OPI  Rumple Wiggens, Planks A Lot, WetnWild The Crown is Mine, Essie Playdate, ChinaGlaze Grape Pop, and

Day 1 of 31 Day Challenge: Red

Hi Everybody!!!

It's a new month and I think I am gonna try a 31 day Challenge along with some other bloggers...

I attempted this last year around this time and failed miserably :( 

But, I am getting better at my nailart so, why not try it again?

I am actually somewhat pleased with this mani. I used a dotting tool to make the hearts as well

Enjoy!!

Love Marilyn, DS Radiance, Hey Sailor

I'm not so good at nail art and smacked my freshly dotted middle finger against something thats why 2 of the dots are weirdos but, with that being said, I am really happy how this turned out :D

Random Mani-ness

Here are some mani's I have been doing since all the Nail Mail I have recieved!!

First up is Icing Shredded requested by Nail Designs xox

Icing Shredded over O.P.I Pink Friday and a accent nail of Essie Mojito Madness

Pre- Matte topcoat

Yes I really needed like 10 pictures of this beauty this is Nati Desejos from Brazil  I am unsure of the name of it but it is a Glitter/Flakie and I mattefied it because I believe ALL flakies should be Mattefied

I just couldn't leave it alone so I taped it off and added  Funky Fingers Wild Child and loved it

This lovely mani is from holo hump day in a group from Wednesday I used Hits Dionsio and a accent of a Impala holo that Samantha surprised me with she also surprised me with the Nati Desejos I am just in love with this combo of mani!!

I hope ya'll enjoyed some actual mani's from me I have been such a slacker feel free to yell at me and tell me to stay on it!!

I think I've lost my marbles...

I feel like I haven't posted in forever which I haven't....

BUT, I MISSED ALL YOUR FACES!!!

Today, I am sharing with you ladies my attempt on watermarbling .

 We did a group watermarble in one of the groups I'm in so that everyone could "test the waters as a group"  I  think the other  ladies did a great job!!

So, alas here is mine...

This is what I came up with at first I wasn't very happy with them except my ring and pinky so I removed them all but my ring and came up with....

THIS!!!

I also used the sponging technique that has been floating around pinterest on my thumb and with a slight touchup to make the colors more vibrant it worked perfectly...

I used Not Just for Kelly Green, Dress for the Parade, and P is for Pride  

all from the ColorClub Pride collection

Today on the Nubbin Files....

Today I have for you ladies and gents I have for you from 

OPI and Serena Willams 

Grape..Set...Match & Servin Up Sparkle 

I actually just received this polish in the mail just yesterday and proceeded to do my nails immediately this is also another epic lemming kill thanks to Wendy and her adorable son Shaun who made sure to complete my nailmail with baby kisses..lol.

He is such a handsome little man and steals the heart's of women of all ages across the land.

Thank you Wendy for helping me kill my lemming and I love your face!!!
