The New 31 Day Challenge - Day 31 - Recreate someone else's mani

Oh my God!!! How time flies!!!

We are on the last day of the 31 Day Challenge... I am both sad and happy... I am sad, because I love doing challenges. They give me headstart when I lack inspiration...

I am happy, because it was really hard posting every day. I don't understand how other ladies do it but it was really tiring for me... I guess from now on, I'll be posting every other day, just like I used to do...

Anyway, for the last day of the challenge, we are supposed to re-create someone elses mani...
The mani I chose was the color opposites mani of Lydia from Lydia's Nails Day 16: Color Opposites.

Well, let's say I tried to re-create... I looked nothing like hers... Hers was more gorgeous. But mine did not turn out to be so bad... :)

Here's the awsome inspiration!!!

And here's my interpretation... :)

I used Essence Miami Roller Girl in Bienvenido A Miami, Essence Breakthrough and Flormar Matte M102...

Well, shall we make a round-up?

It was really fun being in this challenge with all the other ladies... Thanks Debbie, for the opportunity... :) Hope to see all the ladies in another challenge soon... :)

The New 31 Day Challenge - Day 30 - My Favorite Nail Art Technique

My favorite nail art technique???

Of course stamping!!!

But first, let me introduce you to my newest polishes....

I ordered them form a local web shop called Evoria... The package arrived like this...

In it there was a box...

In the box, there were my babies, wrapped in pink paper...

And here they are... Color Club Halo Hues!!!

These are the missing ones... Angel Kiss, Blue Heaven and Halo-graphic... I know, I know, these are old news, new 2013 holos are released, but please, I just got them... And it is impossible to keep up with the polish companies... :)

Here are all my Halo Hues... The old ones have a black cap... I wonder why...

Anyway, back to the challenge, I have two coats of Halo-graphic on my nails. And I stamped them with Konad Special Black and Cheeky Jumbo D...

There is a tutorial for making water spotted nails. I loved it sooo much and tried to make it. I tried hand sanitiser, alcohol, perfume, cologne... But I failed every single time. Then I remembered. I had the Cheeky Jumbo D and it had a pattern just like the one I wanted... :)

Sooooo, why bother... :) See, that's why I love stamping! You have endless possibilities!!!!

Enjoy the holo bomb!!!

The New 31 Day Challenge - Day 29 - Inspired by a Blogger

Oh, I follow many blogs... And I get inspired from them a lot. So when I saw the Nailasaurus with this mani, I knew I had to copy!!!!

I used Zoya Ziv as my base color.... After placing the tape, which took almost an hour, I painted my nails with Pastel 68 and 100...

I loved how this one turned out...

And the awkward hand position, only to show the thumb!!!

The New 31 Day Challenge - Day 28 - Inspired by my favorite colour

He he, my favorite colour... Aren't you sick of seeing purple? Well, I'm not...

Honestly, I first thought of doing another color but then I changed my mind when I remembered the new Flormar Matte Purple I bought yesterday... :)

Yes, Flormar released a new matte line... It has 12 matte finish colors. Mostly one coaters. I have tried the black and the wtihe for stamping. They work, but not as pigmented as other stamping polish...

Anyway, for today I have M111 on my nails. It is a dark plum/eggplant color. I wanted to try layering for today, because this polish did not look enough... So I used Sephora's flakies... Both of them... :)

And then I added even more glitter... The Jordana glitter is awsome... I will use it again soon... :)

And finally, the poor Flormar was no more matte.... :)

Here are the colours I used... :)

The New 31 Day Challenge - Day 27 - Inspired by Me...

I prefer black a lot in my life... I love black because it suits everything... It makes you look thinner... It looks elegant... And I wear black most of the time...

Because if this, if someone is about to make a mani that is inspired by me, it should definetly be black...

So, here's my black mani with Rimmel Precious Stones in Diamond Dust...

Diamond Dust is a black based polish with tons of glitter in it, both holographic and normal. I expected it to be on the sheer side and used one coat of black underneath but it really was not necessary. Two coats would have given the same result.

The brush is loaded with glitter, so you don't have to go dabbing around to have an evenly glittered surface. The formula is nice, drying time is normal.

Surprisingly, this one dries to a semi matte finish and feels a little gritty... It is just like the little sister of OPI Liquid Sand... :)

I used one generous coat of Poshe to add extra shine and I can still fell the grittiness on some fingers... LOL

A blurry one to show the shine

The New 31 Day Challenge - Day 26 - Inspired by my country

I live in Turkey and I'm proud to be Turkish. I believe our flag is one of the most beautiful and meaningful flags around the world. So for today, I chose to paint my nails to the colors of the Turkish Flag...

The flag of Turkey is a red flag with a white crescent moon and a star in its centre.

The current design of the Turkish flag is directly derived from the late Ottoman flag, which had acquired its final form in 1844.

Its measures have passed by a law during the Republic period on May 29, 1936 which formed the shapes and measures of the current flag of the Republic of Turkey.

Ottomans used several different designs, most of them featuring one or more crescents.

There's a saying that after the Battle of Kosovo -1389, Sultan Murad visited the battle field, and all he saw was a field all in red because of the blood of the dead soldiers. Some say the Sultan Murad was in tears with the scene right before his eyes, and the reflection of the moon and the star in the bloody field inspired the idea for the flag of the victorious Ottoman Empire.

Turkish flag from the Bosphorus

I used Essence Snow White for the base and then stamped with Sally Hansen XtremeWear in White On. The plates I used are MASH 32 and Cheeky CH04.

The New 31 Day Challenge - Day 25 - Inspired by my Childhood

My childhood was all about watching Mickey Mouse cartoons on the TV... I still adore Mickey and Minnie and had a great time visiting the Disneyland both in Paris and Orlando...

So for today, as my mani inspired by my childhood, I have Mickey and Minnie... :)

My drawing skills suck and I'm not that good at freehand but I really liked how this one turned out... I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out, White on, Cherry Red and Mellow Yellow for this mani...

And I got inspired from this amazing mani...
