Hello hello!
We are well past half-way in the 31 Day Challenge, and I have to pat myself on the back for making it this far without skipping one day. i tend to drop off from things once they start to bore me, I'm glad this has kept me motivated!
After today the challenges get significantly more interesting, like the next 2 are ones I've done before and failed miserably (galaxy and water marble) - so you may or may not have a good laugh in store with those guys!
But today is half-moons, and today I did a loose interpretation based on last weeks Teal Tuesdays mani.

| Started off with a base of The Balm/Hot Ticket in Better off Red. After that dried, I added striping tape to the lower portion of the nail and then on the top half I used China Glaze Westside Warrior, and on the bottom half I used China Glaze Zombie Zest. |
 |
| I finished this mani with a new Fast Dry topcoat I was sent in an order I received from Polish Me Crazy. Nice and thick and very fast drying! |
See the rest of the ladies rockin' their half-moons today:
I used:
OPI My Private Jet (I thought I had the dud version, but I think it's somewhere in between because there is SOME holo in it.)
Catrice - After Eight

This was my first half-moon (as I'm new to nailing and blogging, there will be a lot of firsts, one of the reasons I took on a blog and multiple nail challenges) and I think it wasn't too terribly bad considering. I do admit I tend to lean towards overkill at times, I think that will settle down a bit once I've gotten over all of the initial excitement!
Anyway - why not kill a V Day Mani and Half Moon all at once, right? Yeah...that's the overkill I was just speaking of!
Used here is Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris as the base, some circle dots tapey things from the office section used for the half moon template, Kleancolor Metallic Red and then a variety of Konad and Red Angel plates for the stamps (if you want to know any plates #s just leave me a comment). There are some roses, leaves, flourishes and hearts stamped on there. I love it, but the metallic makes the stamping a little difficult to read. But it's fun! Thanks for reading, and on a side note, sorry for that wonky colored cute there, I accidentally grabbed a colored toothpick trying to clean the black off my cuticles and it bled on me!
