#31dc2014 Day 22 Inspired By A Song

I'm blue daba-di daba-die, daba- di daba- die! I have a blue house with a blue window, blue is the color of all that I wear…. And so on… Apologies for getting this lovely song stuck in your head ;)
I was inspired to do a blue mani to go along with this catchy tune

#31dc2014 Day 21 Inspired By A Color

For today, I decided to take inspiration from the names of the polishes, instead of a color in general.  My inspiration polishes are China Glaze Smoke and Ashes and Zoya Blaze, naturally leading to a fire design.

Oh Galaxy manicure, how unloved you are.  It's been a year since  tried you last, and honestly I did not miss you very much.  I think this manicure may have converted me to a galaxy fan!

Also, my poor pointer finger just can't seem to stop breaking lately, so I did a pretty major nail chop to even everything out.

#31dc2014 Day 17 Glitter!

Today is glitter day! I wanted to do some more glitter placement nails, and thanks to OPI Peel Of Basecoat I was able to save my little glitter nail :)  I used Zoya Aurora to accent my glitter colors.

#31dc2014 Day 8- Metallic

This manicure reminds me of a brushed metal surface with some rivets and add ons. Everytime I wear Stone Cold I'm wonder why I don't wear it more often because it's just so pretty matte or top coated.  I left it matte here to look more metallic.
