OMD 31 Day Challenge Day 6: Neon

Hi! How has all of your weekends been going? Mine has been good just painted nails and watching Youtube videos! Today I has yesterday's post that I didn't get to. It is just a simple swatch of China Glaze's Orange Knockout. I did do nail art with it and you will see that in a few days! So this polish took 3 to 4 coats. I am sure you could get a way with 2 to 3 but I was being picky! Formula wise it was good and it is also super bright! 

All products were purchase by me!
Thank you for reading and I will have today's challenge post up tonight! -Zoe

OMD 31 Day Challenge! Day 1: Pink

Hello and welcome to my first challenge on this blog! I am doing the Oh Mon Dieu Challenge by Craftynail, Eeeek Nail Polish and Brijitsdigits! I am super excited because this challenge means nail art and I need to get better on that! For day one the theme is pink! I chose to do a simple tribal ish design!  

I bought all the products used for this design!
I used OPI Pink Friday as the base and then used a small detail brush and acrylic paints for the design! Swatches of Pink Friday will come at a later date! Thank you for reading and enjoy your Monday! -Zoe


OMD 31 Day Challenge Day 3: Purple

Sorry I am so late with this post! Yesterday I went for a bike ride with my friend to Subway and that took up most of my afternoon! So I am once again playing catch up! Also, I would like to say Happy Fourth of July to my fellow American friends! For yesterday's challenge you had to do purple nails! I chose to do an ombre using China Glaze's purple ombre kit! 


I really love the quality of the picture and how it looks so crisp and clean! I wish all my pictures where like this! On my index finger I used one coat of Sweet Hook. On my middle finger I used 2 coats of Spontaneous. On my ring finger I used 2 coats of Grape Pop and lastly on my pinky I used 2 coats of Crimson. The colors look good together and they all have a nice formula! For the pictures I used a base coat and no top coat! Thank you for reading and talk to you later with another post! -Zoe

OMD 31 Day Challenge Day 5: Skittle Nails

Haha! You probably thought that I wouldn't get this post up, right? Well you are wrong I am on top of things today! So today's challenge theme is skittle nails! This is one of my best manis that I have ever done! They will definitely be in my top July mani's post in early August! So my nail mail buddy also sent my two polishes by Wet n Wild. I Need a Refresh-Mint (blue) and Tropicalia (pink.) The blue only took one coat and the pink took two. Tropicalia is one of the weirdest pinks I have ever had! It is a color in some lights and a hot pink in the other! These polishes had really good formulas and I have nothing bad to say about them!

Polishes were sent in nail mail!

Thank you for reading and I hope you like my nails! I think the two colors go really well together! -Zoe



OMD 31 Day Challenge Day 4: Black and White

I am catching up dont you worry! This is yesterday's OMD Challenge. The theme for yesterday was black and white. I tried to do a tape manicure, but the polish bleed under the tape. (If you see a white bump that is me covering up some of the black polish!) For these nails I used Zoya's Purity and Raven and Nail Tek II for the base coat!


I used acrylic paint for the dots. Not super proud of this design, but with practice if will get better! Thank you for reading and talk to you later gators! :D -Zoe

Fourth of July Nails

Hello! Happy late Fourth of July! I hope you all had a good one! Before we start I would like to say that I am very proud of these nails, I love the colors red, white, and blue together! For the mani my nail mail buddy Pleased to Please You sent me some red striping tape so I used that on my pinky and ring finger. On my index and middle I used Barry M Americano (I think that is the name) and then on my thumb I painted red stripes! My base coat is Nail Tek and my top coat is Out the Door. My base colors are Zoya Purity and Barry M Cobalt Blue.

All products besides the base and topcoat were giveaway winnings. I bought the topcoat and base with my own money!
 
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed the fireworks yesterday if you live in the US! -Zoe

Sorry! I am already behind on this challenge! I promise I will keep up though! So yesterday was the second day in the OMD 31 Day Challenge which had the theme of blue. I chose to use 3 coats of Layla's Ocean Rush on all my fingers except my ring finger. On my ring finger for a base I used 2 coats of Zoya's Purity. For my leopard print I used Ocean Rush for the spots and black acrylic paint to outline them!

All products used were purchased by me.
