Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 27 - Pointillism

Hello!!!
Here we are at the next to last day of the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge. Awwww. Sad face...my baby is almost done.
It sure has been fun, and challenging!
Today we are going with Pointillism. This movement is the art of creating small dots in different colors to make one larger image. I of course did nothing like that, and because of the challenging factors of this challenge, decided to kind of take it easy with just some simple dots.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 26 - Graffiti

Yay!
Today is one of my favorite days of this challenge for Nail-Art-A-Go-Go!
I love graffiti - growing up in California and making lots of excursions into LA and surrounding areas, I always loved seeing the paintings scrawled all over buildings and trains. Even in the south now, we live right near a major train line and we get to see some cool graffiti on the trains when they pass through.

Today is our Watercolor prompt for the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go challenge - lots of interesting possibilites here - water marbling, many different ways of doing a watercolor mani, and the thing I chose to do - the Salted Watercolor Mani!

Hey guys!
You might remember I tried my hand at a Pop Art mani once before, with what I would consider seriously lackluster results, I basically hated it. But this one today, well I loves this one.
I actually did this mani as a tutorial for my monthly series with Pure Nail Lacquer!
So you can see that video at the end of this post too!

Hey loverlies!
Today...what day is it today? I'm scheduling these somewhat in advance because I have a pretty busy week at the end of the month here and I want to make sure I get things handled..so happy whatever day it is today!
For the NAGG Challenge, today the prompt is "Oils" - I took this as a literal sign to do a cool thing I had in my brain for a few weeks, a brushstroked mani with a twist.

So today starts the REALLY challenging (not to mention FINAL) part of the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge. I'm EXCITED! And nervous! But these were ALOT of fun, and hopefully everyone else participating thinks so, too.
Today is Surrealism, which is just about my favorite art movement. I didn't realize until after I did these that I mixed up my art movements! This should actually go under Abstract...but oh well. I'm not doing another one!

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 21 - Snow Day

If you're like me, you are probably sick to death of the SNOW.
We didn't get nearly as much as lots of places, but for where we live we got way more than we bargained for this winter, and lots of headaches to go along with it!
But todays snow on the blog is much prettier, safer and less headache inducing (I hope!)

Ok - so I am excited as I can be over todays mani!
I love robots, I have loved robots since I can remember, they are right up there with my love for Frankenstein!
So I was torn between doing them for Sci Fi day or for Pop Culture day, as you can see I did them for Pop Culture Day, and it was soooo hard not to bump them up to Sci Fi so I could post them sooner!

It's Game Night!
Ok - its NOT, but it is on the blog!
Thats todays prompt for the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge, and almost immediately I knew what I was going to do for this one. In our house, games are solely video games. But every now and then we might throw in some cards or checkers. And of course, there has got to be some snacks!

Todays prompt for the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge is Sci Fi! I can't wait to see what everyone does for this one since its so wide open and I know there are lots of scifi babies out there!
I toyed with a few ideas, some of which came to fruition in other days of the challenge, so I ended up with your classic Alien theme!

Adventure Time

Oh boy!
I am so very excited about todays post.
One of my favorite shows ever is Adventure Time. I have wanted to do some AT nails for quite some time now but everytime I see someone else do them I decide to not do them. But then this prompt came along and I knew it was (Adventure) Time!
Of course, I kept it a little simple and only did one character (albeit one with many faces) - but since BMO is my favorite character on the show, its hardly a sacrifice!

Hey all you wonderful people!
Things are getting better round these parts...still down with debilitating cramps but most other things are in check.
If only I could just lay in bed and do my nails life would be ok...good thing I had most of this challenges manis done before it even started or I'd be screwed!
We are now into the Art History week of the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge - and this is by far my favorite part of the challenge!

Oh you guys!
I swear I try my hardest not to be one of those "complainer" bloggers, I try to keep my personal biz my own, but sometimes you just gotta vent! I have had the crappiest week! So much snow, power outages, some of the worst endo cramps of my life and drama in the family...I am ready for something good to happen! I did get to purchase some of the new ILNP spring line for Valentines Day though, so it isn't ALL bad, right?!

Hi babies!!
So just when I thought this crap winter couldn't get ANY worse, we lost our power last night! Like almost immediately after I posted yesterdays blog post. Luckily, unlike when the tornado hit our city and we were out of power for 4 days, this time it was only about 18 hours. So in the span of 3 weeks we've had two snowfalls and lost water AND power. Sheesh. The snow was beautiful though! Do you have any winter woes? Come on spring!!

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 13 - Hearts

Ok - so don't laugh.
I have a new watermark on these photos because I am going to be redoing my blog layout. Its actually been ready to go for awhile now but I didn't want to spring it so soon after the last one. When I designed this current layout it had all of the ingredients of my personality but I cooked it wrong and added a little too much. Sometimes I get carried away, and after living with it for only a few weeks, I was so over it and the original simplicity I was going for in 2014. So in the next week or two I will be transitioning to a new layout I think you will really love. At some point when I do that I will be pulling the blog offline for an hour or two while I change it. Anyway - just thought I'd get that out there!

Hey guys!
This is a little late, but I'm still on the right day at least! I've been fighting being sick for a few days and of course it never fails when you're late there will be plenty of things to be make you even later! Like SNOW! And maybe I had a nervous breakdown this morning too.
Oh well....here we go with Day 12!

Well - it looks like here in Georgia we are "maybe" getting some more snow...or maybe we aren't. They can't seem to figure it out but it's all they can talk about.
I dont mind it, but it seems to make a lot of people crazy, and hopefully after the last snow we had a few weeks ago we won't have any issues like we did when we went without water for 4 days.
Winter, I am SOOO over you.

Todays prompt for the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge is Night Sky.
I toyed with ideas of space nails, stars, darkness, but in the end I opted for a sunset type of design. I do love it in theory but my gradient could definitely use some improving I think.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Day 9 - Inner Geek

Hi sweeties!
Today is Inner Geek day for the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge!
I decided to go freehand for this one and do some random little geeky items for every geek.
Unfortunately, my super thin brush I like to use for details had slipped under my table (it's since been recovered) so I had to use a different brush and I think the mani suffers because of that, but it's still fun!
