31 Day Challenge - Day 6: Your Favorite Color Family

       Happy Sunday!  My post for you today is the 6th post in the 31 day challenge being hosted by Debbie Crumpet of The Crumpet.  Today we are supposed to show our favorite color family.  Mine just so happens to be pink.  Like I said a few days ago when our challenge was pink, pink is my favorite color, but I try not to show it too much here because I would do every post with pink in it.  Lol.  Whelp, I don't really have much else to say.  This mani was pretty simple, but I really like it and I hope you do too.

Base coat:  Pro Fx Fiberized Ridge Filler

Pinky: Princesses Rule! from OPI - 3 coats

Ring: Lolly from Zoya - 2 coats

Middle: Charming Rose Creme from NYC - 2 coats and one coat of Sparked from Wet N' Wild

Pointer: Koala Bear-y from OPI - 2 coats with one coat of Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper

Thumb: White on the Spot from Milani - 2 coats with two coats of a no name pink neon from Claire's

Top coat: Seche Vite except for the pointer finger

I'm not sure what is on my pointer finger; I think maybe some snow fell on it as I was taking the pictures.

What is your favorite polish color?

Happy Saturday everyone all though I\'m sure it is Sunday for a lot of you right now.  I was really excited to wear Aurora from Zoya for this mani.  It is a part of the new Ornate Collection that was released last month.  I fell in love with Aurora when I saw the first swatches of it.  I received it in a secret santa swap that I did in one of my Facebook groups and I was pretty much jumping up and down when I got it.

     To achieve this look I painted two coats of  each polish onto each nail then a coat of Seche Vite to help it dry quick.  After it dried I applied striping tape to each nail and then painted each nail with one coat of the opposite color.  

Base coat: Pro FX Fiberized Ridge Filler

Accent color base: Aurora from Zoya - 2 coats

Main base: I\'ve Got Bieber Fever from Nicole by OPI - 2 coats

31 Day Challenge - Day 4: Pink

       All right, getting back on track.  For blog post two today I have the fourth mani for the 31 day challenge, pink.  As many of you may not know, pink is my favorite color.  I basically stay away from it because if I didn't every mani in my blog would be pink.  I got three new pink polishes for Christmas and I couldn't decided which one to use for today's mani.  With a quick google search I decided to do this design.  I love how it turned out.  If you look closely you can see my learning curve.  My pinky was the first nail I did.  While doing this nail I tried to apply the polish with the nail polish brushes in each bottle and tried to contain each polish to its own section.  I did the same for the second one and it was really runny and hard to control.  On my middle finger I applied the polish to each section with a striping brush.  On my forefinger I applied the lightest pink over the entire nail, then the middle pink starting from the light pink and all the way up the nail, and applied the darkest pink on just the tip.  This seemed to work the best.

Base color: White on the Spot from Miani - 2 coats

Pinks from lightest to darkest: Princesses Rule! from OPI

                                                 Shrimply Devine from Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure

                                                 Koala Bear-y from OPI

Top coat: Seche Vite

Sorry for the light tip wear, but I couldn't get any pictures the evening I did this, so this one was taken the next day after working for a few hours.

Now for an explanation of this picture.  Below we have Princesses Rule! and Koala Bear-y from OPI.  They were given to me from my sister for Christmas.  Let me see if I can explain how this was given to me without confusing you.  When I received this gift it was handed to me in as two boxes tied together with ribbon.  The tag told me to open the smaller box first, (seventh box down).  I start opening and it is just boxes inside of boxes.  In the smallest one was a little scroll that said: "see bigger box for gift," which happened to be the box on the bottom.  I started opening and was laughing so hard.  Finally I got to my prize!  Lol.  

     I received Shrimply Devine for Christmas as well.  I bought it with a gift card I recieved from one of my customers!  How sweet was that!

All right, enough for now.  I am glad to be caught up.  I will see you all tomorrow for purple.
