Hi everyone!
Here it is. Week 2 of the Challenge which is a mani inspired by an upcoming holiday. To go along with my Halloween polish posts, I decided to do a Halloween manicure.  I'm not very creative when it comes to thinking of nail art, so I took to Google and went to work!

Instantly I found this page HERE and I decided that it was possible for me to attempt to recreate it. Her nail art is crazy cool and I'm so glad I came across it!



I hope I did it some kind of justice! LOL. I've always stayed away from nail art because I just kept it in my head that I couldn't do it, therefore, never attempted it. But as I was doing this mani, I really had fun! So hopefully I will do the occasional nail art attempt here and there.

Hi everyone!

So here we are! My Week 1 post of the Challenge.

This week's challenge is a mani inspired by your favorite cause/charity. I couldn't decide which charity or cause is my favorite because there is just no way to pick one. So I picked one of the charities that I actually contribute to - the ASPCA- The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

I have a special credit card that donates a certain percentage a year to the ASPCA depending on how much I use it. You know who the ASPCA are; they have those super sad commercials on t.v. that show these poor, defenseless animals who have been abused.  I am a huge animal lover and I find it so heartbreaking that so many of them need us to protect them :/

So here is my ASPCA mani.



Thumb: Leopard print: 2 coats of Sinful Colors Nirvana for the base. Dots of Sinful Colors Flirting Nails. Then with my dotting tool, I drew black lines around the dots using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black Out.

Index: Tiger print: 2 coats of NYC Pumpkin and with the same black SH polish I drew lines with my nail striping brush

Middle: Zebra print: 1 coat of Konad Special Nail Polish in white and the using stamping plate m69, I stamped the zebra stripes with the same black SH polish

Ring: Giraffe print: 2 coats of Sinful Colors Flirting Nails and with my striping brush I striped lines with Orly Pure Porcelain

Pinky: Pig: 1 base color of Orly Pure Porcelain, the same black SH polish for the eyes and ears using my dotting tool, and China Glaze Mom's Chiffon for the ears and the snout.

Soooooo...what do you think? What's your favorite cause/charity?

Hi everyone! Am I confusing you yet with these challenges? LOL. Hope not.

So real quick, I posted a few days ago that I am no longer participating in the 30-Day Challenge, but I did mention that there was a new one in the works. Well, it's finally complete and it starts today! The lovely ladies from my Facebook group all came together and compiled a list of prompts for an 11-Week Challenge.

How this works is, instead of a daily challenge, (which is tough for most of us to keep up with), it will be weekly. So you have all week to complete whatever the prompt is.  I'm excited!


Cheers to Week 1! I can't wait to work on my mani for this! Eeeeek!

XoXo,
jess
