31DC2013: Day 26, inspired by a pattern

Patterns are awesome. They are. The thing is, we already had 10 days dedicated to them. But don't you worry, I have just the pattern you need, that hasn't been used in the challenge! 3D cube pattern! I mean. how can you not fall in love with this geometric, optic illusion print? I know I did! I really liked yesterday's color combination,...

31DC2013: Day 25, Inspired by fashion

When I first set my mind to do the 31DC, I just KNEW I'm gonna ask my friends to look for some crazy fashion for me to use, since I'm not much of a fashionista my self. But it the end, I needed no help! Few weeks ago [don't expect me to know when], New York fashion week took place, and links for the collections, and one caught my eyes in...

31DC2013: Day 24, Inspired by a book

After yesterday, I looked for something simpler to do. So I took inspiration from a wonderful, well written, full of emotions book, "The Fault In Our Stars", written by John Green [which is an awesome person!]. While the Hebrew cover looks somehow like the painting "starry night" by Van Gogh, The original cover is very simple, so I went...

31DC2013: Day 23, Inspired by a movie

That one was a sure thing for me. My all time favorite is Grease. No, for real now- I've seen it over 10 times, heard the song many more times, I own the DVD, and yesterday I got my hands on a vinyl records set! So I knew Grease is gonna be it. Pinky to pointe I presented different outfits in the movie- Pink Ladies jacket, T Birds...

31DC2013: Day 22, inspired by a song

When I've heard "song inspired" I imidiatly wanted to go with the one and only, that makes me go nuts in lipsing, Britney Spears. Now, I wanted to go with some old school classic such as 'Baby one more time', but ended up going for the song 'Holg it against me', because it's video has alot of sceance I could take Insperation of. So here...

31DC2013: Day 21, inspired by color

*Intentionally ignoring the fact I've missed two posts, and hope to fill them up later.* This is the part of the challenge that I was the most excited about! It just feels that this time, I got more space to do what ever I want, be much more creative about things! So as many other bloggers, I interpreted this day as "inspired by color name",...

31DC2013: Day 18, half moon nails

Half moons can be either boring or exciting. In today's case, it's some-where in the middle. One of those classical "It looked better in my mind" sort of nail arts. But I still like it. Alot. Just not as much as I would expected. I decided to go with a full coat of the base color, and using the hole punch stickers method, I created...

31DC2013: Day 17, Glitter nails

Glitters, glitters all around! For this challange I had the idea in mind. I wanted to recreate The Nailasaurus diamond jubilee diamond. But after I did my manicure, I found out that it's connected to her in an another way. As it turned out, we both been using the same polish in today's challange. And to top all that up, I used another polish...

31DC2013: Day 16, tribal print nails

I still haven't missed a post, but let me tell you, it's very tiring. Man, I should have thought it through deeper. But on to the positive side- I'm getting to do stuff I wanted to do for a long time, and this is one of them, Ikat print! OK, I'll be the first to admit that it didn't turn out that great, the black out lines in particular....

31DC2013: Day 15, delicate nails

It's my birthday you guys! I know I'm pushing the limits here, but give me a break, a girl can party in her birthday, right? Since the begining of the challange I was wondering about what I'm gonna do for this special day. And I came up with something both delicate and festive, bunting! I started with a grey base color, because this...

31DC2013: Day 14, floral nails

This day is the one I was afraid of. I do NOT like floral print. I don't know why, but I guess it just looks old for me. I mean, why would you wear you grandma couch as a dress? Any how, apparently I was right. Even after finding a pattern I wanted to do, I failed doing it. I ended up being really frustrated, and went with something...

31DC2013: Day 13, animal print nails

I came up with today's manicure quit early in the day, but was too lazy to do it till now. I didn't want to go with the classical animal prints, so I thought about it for a while, and decided to go with a parrot! two of them actually. Four of my nails are devoted to the red parrot [don't expect me to search for his name], and...

31DC2013: Day 12, stipes nails

Oh my, oh my. The nail-art goddess sure does not give me an easy life! Stripes. Easy. This time I even had an idea. Wanted to use my texture polish for the stripes. So I applied glue [as a peel off base coat] because it's glittery. Applied base color, and striping tape, and then the texture polish. Peeled off the striping tape- TADA! No...

31DC2013: Day 11, polka dots nails

Another day, another mass for me. Ugh I'm starting to feel that it's a bit over my head :/ Anyway, today is another day where my friends turned up as a great help. After me panicking in the chat, they came through! Snow man nails! Why, you may ask- cause it's freaking hot outside and I want winter! Not that we have snow here, but...

31DC2013: Day 10, gradient nails

Man, today was not an easy one for me. It makes me worried from the challenges to come... Since I did a gradient two days ago, I know I can't get away with just a simple gradient. At first, I thought about doing a gradient using my first two new texture polishes, but when I put the first one on, I realized they don't have the texture...

31DC2013: Day 9, rainbow nails

I have to admit, I wasn't too excited about today's challange. For me rainbow is either too childish or the homosexual flag, to be honest with you. After coming up, and canceling, tons of ideas, I decided to simply taste the rainbow! Oh... yeah! It's a skittles mani! And boy, this mani was a rough one! My nails ended up too...
