MoYou London 31 Day Nail Art Challenge: Day 15 Love

Happy Friday lacqueristas!

I'm both happy and bummed that the end of the week is here because it means a new rotation waaah but that's ok cause it's still Friday! Anyone have any exciting plans for the 3 day weekend?  I'm sleeping, doing laundry, and maybe the movies.  I realized I have gotten so far behind in these 31 nail art challenge posts.  I'm just too exhausted the last several days to create a mani, photograph, edit pictures, post to instagram and then do a blog post.  But I said that was going to happen didn't I lol.  Nevertheless I have put up a lot of posts this week including the new teaser photos from Pueen Cosmetics soon to be launching plate collection so go check it out!  Now onto Day 15 and oh lord love...

Mani-louge

Basecoat / Topcoat:  CND Stickey / Sally Hansen Diamond Flash

Gradient: Orly Satin Eloquence Satin Style and Satin Gala

Stamping polishes: Mundo de Unas #1, 2,  Color Club Hot Like Lava

Stamping plates: MoYou London Princess 10, Comic Collection 05, and Mother Nature 05

 
Hail the Comic Collection!  Totally underrated and underused IMO.  I say that knowing I myself am guilty of not taking advantage of these awesome plates.  Let's pause and talk about shoujo manga.  I don't know if you've realized it yet but I am clearly a otaku.  When it comes to tween-teenaged romance nothing beats shoujo which is basically comic books aimed at teenage girls about those doki doki heart fluttering moments when you work hard and achieve your love with the most popular guy in school and life is great...oy! Even though I've read a ton lol they just kill me.  Totally unrealistic and ridiculous, but that's the point of a good comic right?  So why am I talking about this instead of the art? Because I pulled Comic 05 with the sole intention of creating a lovey dovey mani themed around the shoujo genre.



So for the life of me I can't recall which holo I used for the accent polish here.  I'm sure it will come to me and I will update it later definitely an indie pink linear.  So thoughts ladies? I kind of wish I'd let the hearts play out along the edges instead of flowers but I'm still so pleased with this main.  Note the blush on kissing couples cheeks lol that was my special effect ;)  Anyway sorry to be running so far behind on these posts.  IRL I'm already at Day 23!!! Thanks for reading and see you next post...

MoYou London 31 Day Nail Art Challenge: Day 13 Childhood

Happy Sunday lacqueristas,

I don't have an AIS post today as likely I won't be able to get to it with the daily MoYou London challenge eating up a majority of my time these days.  Whine moan and complain right? Lol nope! I've pretty much hit my stride minus the post for day 14 because that one was a doozy, but otherwise I'm feeling good kinda floating through these challenges now.  Today I've got Day 13 nail art for you.  The theme was Childhood.  Ah the nostalgia ;)

Mani-louge

Basecoat/Topcoat: CND Stickey and Sally Hansen Diamond Flash Topcoat

Base colors: Lilacquer Selkie, IMN Northern Lights in Silver, Orly Tennis Ball Neon, Ablaze, Hot Tropics, and Tropical Pop, Essie Shake Your $$$ Maker, Color Club Endless Summer

Stamping polish: Mundo de Unas #2

Stamping Plates: MoYou London Pro XL 04, Princess 09 and 10 

For this challenge I decided to create a mani with elements of things I loved as a child. And what I loved when I was a child was simple - Lisa Frank, Minnie Mouse, strawberries, anything bright colored, and stars.  I still love all of these things which is kind of surprising though I no longer collect Lisa Frank items.  When I think about it my mother always said I was her most difficult child - a picky eater, sickly, and finicky about everything.  Lol lord things have so not changed! I guess we are who we are from the moment we are born until we die and if we are lucky we learn enough to change some of our poorer bad habits ;)  



So how about you ladies are their things that you still love as a child that stuck with you as an adult?  Did you like the mani?  I think it was fun and bright!  I hope you liked my day 13 post and are enjoying the warm weather, if you have it, this weekend.   Thanks for reading and I'll see you next post...
