31 Day Challenge Round Up!

Hey Everyone! I can't believe that I successfully completed the 31 Day Challenge a few days ago! I meant to get this round up post done yesterday, but I've been feeling a little under the weather so I put it off. I'm really proud of Emily and I for sticking to it and creating some amazing nail art along the way!

I think that the hardest part about this challenge is the pace, near the end I started to struggle for sure, but that's the challenge! I'm really proud of some of the nail art I created and I have rounded up all the nails I did into a nice little grid here! Clicking on each picture will bring you to the original post where you can see what polishes and technique I used.



I can't believe it's over! I love seeing all the nails I created on one page together :) You can also view all of these nails on my 31 Day Challenge Pinterest Board! I hope you had as much fun seeing what I came up with each day as I did creating them!

Thank you SO MUCH for all your comments throughout the challenge, it really made it a lot easier to get through it with all your awesome comments! And on that note if you haven't entered my Cult Nails Toxic Seaweed Giveaway yet then what are you waiting for?!

butter LONDON Disco Biscuit

Morning folks! As promised in yesterday's post here is my full swatch post of butter LONDON Disco Biscuit. Let's get right to this baby!

Disco Biscuit is part of the Spring Summer 2012 collection and is described as a, Tropical hot pink with an undercurrent of of tiny iridescent glitter particles. I adore the final product of Disco Biscuit, but this polish is a little on the trickier side in application. My swatch shows 3 coats and there is still a bit a VNL showing. I'm ok with this, but I know a lot of people have issues with doing this many coats. Also once this polish dries it is a little on the dull side. The jelly dries to almost a matte rubber finish. I added a coat of NYC In a Minute Top Coat to bring out the glittery shine!

Disco Biscuit is a hot pink jelly with iridescent blue glitter running throughout it. As I said it's a little on the thin side, but as long as you apply it tenderly this baby really shines through!

I picked up Disco Biscuit at the Ontario Blogger Swap, but you can purchase it at Ulta's or wherever butter LONDON products are sold!

Born Pretty Store Gold Studs

Afternoon darlings! I've got a pretty cool mani to share with you featuring 2mm Gold Square Studs from Born Pretty Store! I love adding studs to a mani as it's such a simple way to spice up your nails without too much effort!

For this mani I started off with the fabulous butter LONDON Disco Biscuit on all my nails but my index, which I used Revlon Bare Bones. A full swatch post of Disco Biscuit will be coming up later because I really did love this polish! I then added a line of 2mm gold studs on my thumb and one stud at the base of my pinky and index nail. On my middle nail I added a third of Bare Bones using a striping brush and then put studs along the seem of the two polishes. As an accent on my ring nail I stamped with BM-202 and Billie Gold.

I really do love Born Pretty Store for nail art supplies. They are inexpensive, free shipping and of the highest quality. To apply these studs all I did was put a strip of top coat where I wanted to place the studs and then used a dotting tool with a tad of topcoat to get the stud to stick to the dotting tool and then placed it on my nail. Add one coat of quick drying top coat and those studs are stuck in place until you're ready to take them off!

These studs can be found here for only $4.58 for essentially a lifetime supply. Seriously you'll never be able to run out of these things! I love using studs, because anyone of any level of nail art skill can add these. Also they sit relatively flat on your nail, so if you hate things sticking up from your nail, unlike rhinestones, these shouldn't bother you!

What do you think of these studs? Have you ever used any before? Would you buy them? Hope you're having a fabulous day! Thanks for stopping by!

The studs used in this post were provided for my honest review. 

31 Day Challenge Day 31: Recreate Your Favourite

WOW! Last day of the challenge! I can't believe that we have finished the challenge! It feels crazy that for the past 31 days I've managed to post different nail art and not managed to go completely crazy! Not going to lie now that were at the end I'm glad I can post whatever I want for a bit! :D

I had such a hard time trying to pick one of Emily's creations from the past 30 days. She did some amazing manis that are for sure on my recreation list in the future! I finally decided to recreate her amazing Day 27 Inspired by Artwork nails!

These sugar skull inspired nails really stood out to me in their amazing originality and creativity! They are simple and eyecatching and I freakin LOVE THEM!

I used Milani White On the Spot as a base and then used 2 different polishes on each nail and a dotting tool to create these! On my thumb I used Nail The B.Y.T.C.H. Fruity Cutie Butte and China Glaze Gothic Lolita, my index I used Essie Knockout Pout and Ulta Wicked, my middle nail I used Essence You Belong to Me and Essence Let's Get Lost, on my ring nail I used Revlon Sorbet and Essence Wake Up! finally on my pinky I used GOSH Forest Floor and Essence Lime Up!! And I used It's So Easy Stripe Rite Black and White. Phew that's a lot of polishes!

I'm not going to get into detail about how this was done, because Emily will have a tutorial up soon! Once she posts it I will link back here for you :)

This challenge was SO MUCH FUN! I can't believe it's over. I'm super stoked to see what mani Emily chose to recreate so head over to The Lacquerologist to see what she chose!

Thank you all so much for all your sweet comments throughout the challenge. Make sure you enter my Cult Nails Toxic Seaweed giveaway! Love you all! <3
