Challenge Day 1 - Red

So about a month ago a coworker and I set out to start the 31 day challenge only to quit so suddenly. I'm not quite sure why we fell out of it, but we did and now I want to get back into it. So these first posts were done last month when I still had my long nails. For starters here is what the challenge looks like:

Challenge Day 1 - Red
I wanted to create a lace type mani so this is what came to mind.
For the base I used Color Club Cadillac Red, For the lace part I used China Glaze White on White and a dotting tool, and for the thread I used Sinful Colors Black on Black, the dots on the lace are Sally Hansen Red Carpet, and of course I finished with Seche Vite.

Of course I will have to skip Tuesdays and Sundays for my other challenges but I'm really hoping to keep up with this challenge. And woohoo I'm excited for my birthday BBQ later today!

Red Carpet

Happy Valentines Day!!! Yes it is the day of love and I'm bummed I wasn't able to do something sweet for my boyfriend. I went to the mall last night in a rush to buy him the shoes he keeps talking about but they were sold out of his size so I had to order them and now they won't be here for another week. Yes I know I waited and should have went earlier but I had this whole surprise planned out for him. Oh well just going to keep my surprise to myself in case I end up doing it for another occasion. On to the mani...Since we celebrated V-day on Sunday and went out to dinner at Pier 70 Aqua by El Gaucho which was AHH-mazing!! The service was good, the food was delicious and the view was fantastic, I highly recoommend the place if you are looking to impress anyone. For the mani I started with Sally Hansen Red Carpet, which is a beautiful red which reminds me of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz's glittery shoes.


As you can see it sparkles just right

Then decided to do something fun and funky so using scotch tape I take off my nails and used Sinful Color Black on Black to get a fun effect. Also added some hearts to my ring fingers and also my thumbs but I forgot to take a picture of those, sorry. For the hearts I used my Konad stamper and Bundle Monster plate, the polish was Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep.



When I was all finished I showed my nails to Allan (my boyfriend) and asked him what he thought. He looked at them and said they look like chocolate covered strawberries and it makes me want to eat them. I then had to look at them one more time and laughed my ass off. But it turned out perfect to me.
