He Sees You When You're Sleeping. . .

Did anyone else find that slightly creepy as a child?

The prompt for Challenge Your Nail Art's 12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge is Santa Clause or Elves.  I decided to re-create the first nail art design I ever did which was a design by Cutepolish.

Santa Hat

I had been admiring nail art for a while and felt like I could never do the amazing things others were doing.  When I saw this design I knew I could try it and a passion was born.



For this design I used Nina Ultra Pro French White and Julep Karmen.


It is a rather simple design that anyone can do, so if you are thinking about taking the nail art plunge, give a try.  You know you want to.  All the cool kids are doing it!

31 Nail Art Challenge Take Two Day 23: Fashion

I have an elusive pattern.  I have tried two others times before and it didn't work out.  I saw a tutorial by cutepolish and this prompt and I thought. . maybe. . . it couldn't hurt to try again. . .  I was wrong!  My unicorn is the argyle print.




I feel ashamed to show you these, but this is all about documenting my learning process.  I WILL to this design again and I will keep doing it until I CAN do it.  I will until I can say, "Argyle, you are my. . . insert expletive here!"


I only used three colors and they are all from China Glaze.  I used White-On-White, Little Drummer Boy, and  Millennium.



I guess it is not as bad as all that, but it definitely does not look like argyle.  Someday, argyle, you and I will tango again.  Next time though, I will lead!

Check out all the other fashionable beauties!

31 Nail Art Challenge Take Two Day 7: Balck and White

I want to make something perfectly clear.  I am not a Star Wars fan.  You can ask my friend Sarah, she has had to drag me to see the movies.  I do love the Star Tours ride at Disney Land, but who doesn't?  When I saw Cutepolish's design I had to try it and it is black and white, so fits into the prompt perfectly!  Its a win-win.



See, black and white!  Totally fits and was fun to create.


A shot in the shade.




A few more shots for you to enjoy. 

There are a lot of excellent designs from the participants and you would be missing something if you didn't check them out.


Tootles!
