Mint Mani for Talia Joy

Hi and good evening. Today's post is very special because a young girl, Talia Joy passed away a few days ago from 2 types of cancers. Talia was a thirteen year old girl who was a talented makeup and nail artist. She was on the Ellen show where is was made an honorary Covergirl! So the nail art community decided to do mint mani's because Talia's last Instagram post was of her mint manicure. I chose to do a simple swatch of Sally Hansen's Mint Sorbet in her honor!

This is two coats of Mint Sorbet without  a top coat. For my base coat I used Nail Tek's Intensive Therapy II. Thank you for reading and have a good evening! -Zoe

OMD 31 Day Challenge Day 18: Delicate

Hello! Good afternoon everyone! Today I have day 18 of the 31 day challenge and today's theme is delicate. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do for today because when I think of delicate I think of something that can be broken like glass. I didn't want to try and do glass nails because I don't know where I would start so I thought alittle more and came up with this design that reminds me of a flower!

I used two coats of China Glaze's Naked and then used acrylic paint for the dots. For my base coat I used Nail Tek Intensive Therapy II. Stay tuned for some more posts today! I am slowly catching up! Thanks for reading! -Zoe

OMD 31 Day Challenge Day 16: Ruffian/Half Moon

Good evening everyone! Long time no nail art post! Finally getting back into the blogging mood after being caught up in training for cross country and P.R.s and such! All missed nail art posts will be completed at the end of the month! Todays challenge is todo a ruffian or a half moon. I took the swatch of China Glaze's Orange Knockout and added one coat of Hanging in the Balance in the half moon shape to my ring finger. The half moon isnt perfect because I did it free hand and the polish got kind of chunky, but I think it looks fine! So I hope you all had a good Tuesday and I will talk to you guys lata! -Zoe :D

OMD 31 Day Challenge Day 10 and 11: Metallic and Stripes

Hello! Sorry for the lateness. (I seem to always start my posts like this.... maybe I should get on top of things!) Yesterday was busy and I didnt have time edit and post these. So for day 10 and 11 the themes were to do metallic nails and stripes. I combined the two to make it easier. 

For day 10 I did a simple swatch of China Glaze's Platinum Silver with 2 coats. You can't tell in this picture but this polish shows all the brush strokes! It is super annoying but with top coat you can't tell as much. The formula was good and didn't take much effort!

For day 11 I just took a fan brush dipped it in some black paint and went over my nails. This looked better in my head but it was worth a try! So that is it! Hopefully my day 12 nails will be up tonight! Thank you for reading and see ya next time! -Zoe

OMD 31 Day Challenge Day 8 and 9: Matte and Textured

Hi! Sorry I missed two days in a row. Today I was lazy! For this two days I just did a simple matte mani, using OPI's  I saw...U saw...We saw...Warsaw. This is my favorite dark blue ever! I used 1 coat of the dark blue and one coat of Essie's Matte About You. Then once that had dried I took some silver rhinestones and put a border around my nail and top coated it with another coat of Matte About You. That is about it so thank you for reading! And by the way my theme day for today will be up tonight! -Zoe
