Giavanna’s dragon nails

I finally got to do my daughters nails again. She rarely ask me and it kills me as I have all of these polishes and ideas for her and she would rather paint her nails herself. I used a shimmery gray background that she picked out and my gold dragon decal stickers. It was her idea to add the red gems in the corner.  New Years is a 80’s/90’s theme. I’m not sure if I am participating yet order not, I had a outfit all picked out for a regular new years. If I can’t find a neon tutu and some neon leg warmers to go over leggings I am going to dress regular.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go:Achromatic

OK finally back to doing a daily nail art challenge! I feel that this one is way out of my league as I have no art skills whats-so ever. Well it can’t hurt to try.

First up Achromatic, no lie I gad to look this up as I had no idea what it was. What it actually means is the absence of color( Thanks Google). For today I did a black, grey, and white camo design with black and white glitter accent nail.

Day 1 Red: Black widow spider

I wanted to do something non traditional for todays mani. I wanted to highlight the color red so I though of a black widow spider. I got inspiration from Spellbinding Nails Halloween nail art you can see it here. Only difference is I had to do it by hand not stamps.

Swatches Ruby Kisses and Ruby Kisses HD

What is a girl to do, waiting for her nails to grow back so unable to do art on her nails……swatches! I have the free time why the hell not.

Ruby Kisses is one of my favorite polishes to buy, not only are the colors pretty, but there are cheap as well I get the bottles for a dollar a piece at the store where I buy my hair (if ya didn’t know I have weave in my hair most of the time). It is a creme base polish with smooth application and they also make glitter polish.

Dec 12th Holiday Movie

I was not a fan of this challenge. I swore off all holiday movies and refuse to watch any of them when they come on TV. I know its a shame and I have a 8  year old. Its not that I’m anti- Christmas I just think I grew out of it. Except for Shrek’s Christmas- when Puss was telling the night before x-mas and his eyes got huge when he was playing with the Christmas balls.

So for the the challenge I asked people what their favorite movie was and the majority was Christmas Vacation. I tried to do a santa getting electrocuted like on the cover of the movie. Again I have no artistic talent whatsoever.

Dec. 9th Snowmen

I really wanted to do something different this time besides what I normally do for snowmen so I decided to do a melting snow man on one of my nails. I did not want to do a big production due to I’m a day behind and I would just have to take if off to do the next days task.
