Dragon Lady Nails

Finals

Hi all, sorry for the lack of posts the last few days, had a power outage then finals week. Good news is my finals are done as of 8pm tonight and I should be back to regular posting tomorrow. So in the morning I will re-do my Gradient mani for Day 10 of the challenge and my mother is coming over later to have me do her nails for a Christmas party so maybe you'll get a shot or two of hers as well. Sweet dreams all!

Much Love, The Dragon Lady

Day 9: RAINBOW nails

I love this mani, makes me really not want to do tomorrows challenge. I went for a sort-of double rainbow, I did a rainbow sponge with Color Club Peppermint Twist (pink),China Glaze Peachy Keen (orange-peach), Lemon Fizz (yellow), Re-fresh Mint (green), & Bahamian Escape (blue), and Sally Hansen No Hard Feelings (purple). Then to make it EXTRA rainbow-y I topped it off with China Glaze Fairy Dust (holographic micro glitter in clear base).

I think that I will definitely be doing this mani again, every time I look at my nails it makes me smile. I just might re-do this for finals week.

**UPDATE** Fixed missing pics and part of post from Day 8: METALLIC nails and Day 7: BLACK & WHITE nails. =)

Day 8: METALLIC nails

Better late then never right? So here are my nails for day 8's metallic nails. Managed to score the Color Club Foiled set a couple days ago from Ross, which was AWESOME!! Especially as I was getting ready to buy it on eBay for about $18 more than I paid. I had just decided to just pop in and look at their nail polish and BAM! there it was and it was the last set. I guess the polish fairies were with me that day. LOL

Anyway, I used Hot Like Lava...I love this color! This is two coats, no base or top coat. This polish was pretty opaque in one coat, so I will definitely have to try konading with it too.

Day 7: BLACK & WHITE nails

Well, I really like how this mani looks. I made my first two frankens and used them, unfortunately I seem to be fighting with my camera to be able to capture even a fracture of the awesomeness of these frankens. So I will edit this post tomorrow, hopefully to post some decent pictures before I switch to my rainbow nails. As for the 31 day challenge, I think I will be taking a break after day 10 and will pick it up in January 2012. There is a short 12 Days of Christmas I'd like to try, plus finals, one of the kids needs help with a report due in like a week, plus the vacation around the 28th to the coast. I think I will enjoy finishing this 31 day challenge more if I give myself some breathing room. I am not saying I won't try to post daily still, I just feel like playing with some wintery/Christmasy mani ideas while it's the season. Hope this doesn't disappoint anyone.

**UPDATE** Kinda sorta got some pictures to work. These really don't show the opal like qualities of these two polishes but you can kind of see it in the black polish. I think I need to build a light box.
