31DC2014 Day 27: Inspired by artwork

Hi everyone,

So today the theme is inspired by artwork. These inspired by prompts are actually a lot harder than I anticipated and once again I found it hard to decide on my inspiration. In the end I decided to go with Roy Lichtenstein, who is famous for his pop art style artwork. Here is my design:

I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White, No7 So Simple, Avon Nailwear Pro in Real Red, Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black, Fing'rs Heart2Art Catch So Greys, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Yellow, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Blue

Hi everyone,
So for today's prompt - Inspired by a pattern - I decided to try my best to recreate a pattern on a vest top I bought for my summer holiday this year.
Here is the pattern:

I bought this vest top for £4 from Primark.
I decided to pick a section of the pattern and recreate it on my nails, here's the outcome:

31DC2014 Day 25: Inspired by Fashion

Hi everyone,
So for today's theme, Inspired by Fashion, I've decided to go for a trend which has been pretty popular over the past few years and is constantly re-inventing itself: Peter Pan Collars. Personally I love them, they can be both smart and casual and there are so many different colour combinations to choose from. I decided to pick 4 of my favourite combinations to show you on my nails. 
Here's my design:

I used No7 Foxglove, No7 Totally Teal, Models Own HyperGel Purple Glare, Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Licorice and Sinful Colors Snow Me White

31DC2014 Day 24: Inspired by a Book

Hi everyone,
So todays theme is inspired by a book. Personally I love reading so when I saw this prompt I was really happy. After looking through my bookshelf I decided I couldn't choose just one book so instead I chose a book series! I decided on The Princess Diaries which I enjoyed reading when I was younger. The book covers are really bright and colourful too!

Here is my design:

31DC2014 Day 23: Inspired by a Movie

Hi everyone,

So today's theme is Inspired by a Film (or should I say movie). I decided to do some nail art representing one of my favourite films from the last few years: Pitch Perfect. It's such a funny film and one you can watch countless times and still love. 
Here's my design:

I used No7 Stand Back, No7 So Simple, Models Own Nail Art Pen in yellow, Models Own nail art pen in blue, Models Own nail art pen in white, Max Factor Diva Violet, Barry M Gelly coconut and Rimmel Lycra Pro Aqua Cool, Models Own Purple Pearl and NYC Ink Stain

31DC2014 Day 22: Inspired by a Song

Hi everyone,

So today's theme is 'Inspired by a song'. Personally I love music, I'm always listening to it in the house, when I go to town, wherever I am music is always on (when possible!). However for some reason I struggled with this theme but in the end I decided to take a big risk.

So some of you may know that I am a Hindu and my family are originally from India. I love Bollywood films and the songs are always so glamorous and colourful. Therefore instead of an English song I decided to show parts of a song from one of my favourite Bollywood films from last year: Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela - modern day version of Romeo and Juliet with a Bollywood twist (You can see the trailer here). Another thing I love about this film is that it is set in Gujrat (an Indian state where my family is from). 

Anyway enough about the film and onto the song!

Here is my design:

I used Avon Nailwear Pro + in Real Red, Avon Nailwear Pro + in Licorice, Barry M Gelly Coconut, NYC High Line Green, Revlon Gold Coin, LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Gold, Models Own Peacock Green and Models Own Nail Art Pen in Yellow

31DC2014 Day 21: Inspired by a colour

Hi everyone, 

So today's promt is inspired by a colour. The colour I have chosen is pink. To be honest I'm not really a fan of pink in general however recently my collection of pink nail polishes has at the least doubled in size! I decided to do a pink ombré design with a little bit of a geometric/tribal design.

I used Models Own Strawberry Tart, Graffiti Nails Butterfly Pink, 17 Miami, Nails Inc OMP!, Models Own HyperGel Sundress, LA colors Art Deco striper in Black and LA colors Art Deco striper in White.

31DC2014 Day 20: Water Marble

Hi everyone,

So I'm going to be honest when I first saw today's prompt - water marbling, I was a bit cautious. A lot of bloggers struggle with water marbling and I could tell I was going to be one of them.

I can see why people hate water marbling. It's a pain and so messy. I did do a water marble design today, but instead of using water like you're supposed to, I created my own method and did a dry water marble.

Here's the final result:

I used Models Own HyperGel Turquoise Gloss, Models Own HyperGel Purple Glare and Models Own Sundress

31DC2014 Day 19: Galaxies

Hi everyone,
So for day 19 of the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge the theme is Galaxies. I tried out galaxy nails for the first time in February for my 18th Birthday nails (you can see them here). This time I decided to use purple again add in some green to match my base colour Ciate Starlet - a stunning green and purple duochrome.
Here is my design:

I used Ciate Starlet, Models Own Grape Juice, No7 Totally Teal, Models Own Peacock Green, Magenta Pearl, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Max Factor Fantasy Fire and Sinful Colors Snow Me White

Hi everyone,
So today's theme is glitter. The design I've decided to do is based on a design I saw over at Roaring Nails (you can see Robin's design here). Robin's design and colour combination is absolutely stunning and I decided to do my own version of her design for today's prompt.
Here's my design:

I used Models Own HyperGel Turquoise Gloss and Models Own Southern Lights

31DC2014 Day 16: Geometric

Hi everyone,
So for today's nail art the theme is geometric. Personally I really like geometric nail art however for some reason I struggled to come up with a design for this prompt. In the end I did manage to come up with a design using my Barry m nail art pens which I usually use for this style of nail art.

I used No7 Stand Back, Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black and Barry M Nail Art Pen in White

31DC2014 Day 15: Delicate Print

Hi everyone,
So for today's theme, Delicate Print, I decided to go back to some freehand metallic nail art, which I also did on day 8. This time as the theme is delicate, I decided to draw butterflies on my nails as their wings are so pretty and detailed!

I used Models Own Aqua Violet, LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in White, LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Rainbow Glitter and LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Purple/Blue Glitter

31DC2014 Day 14: Flowers

Hi everyone,

Here's what I came up with:

I used Models Own HyperGel Purple Glare, Barry M Matt White and No7 Galaxy

31DC2014 Day 13: Animal Print

31DC2014 Day 12: Stripes

31DC2014 Day 11: Polka Dots

I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Models Own Grape Juice, Maybelline Color Show Iced Queen, Models Own HyperGel Purple Glare and Sinful Colors Amethyst

Hi everyone,

So today's prompt for the 31 Day Challenge is definitely one of my favourites - metallic. Those of you who read my blog often will probably know in a big fan of metallic nail polishes - especially in the winter! Today I thought I'd combine 2 of my favourite things: metallic blue nail polish and delicate freehand nail art.

I used Barry M Gelly Coconut, Models Own Grape Juice and  Models Own HyperGel Purple Glare.

31DC 2014 Day 5: Blue

Hi everyone,
I was so sad to take off yesterday's design, I loved it too much - I think I'll have to recreate it sometime, but anyway let's get on with today's design! So for today's prompt blue, I decided to go for a geometric design. This design is pretty simple and easy to do, but I've never done it before so I thought I'd have a go! 

I used Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, Barry M Gelly Guava and NYC Ink Stain

31DC 2014 Day 4: Green

Hi everyone,
So today's colour is green. Green is not my favourite colour in the world but I do love turquoise and jade! I decided to do another negative space design but this time it's a bit more detailed and I love this design!- I don't want to take it off tomorrow! 

I used Graffiti Nails Pistachio and Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Licorice

31DC2014 Day 3: Yellow

Hi everyone,

So for Day 3 of the 31 Day Challenge the theme is yellow! As I mentioned in yesterday's post i'm not really a fan of yellow nail polish, I think I just find it too bright against my skin. My sister on the other hand loves yellow so I borrowed a few yellow nail polishes from her and decided to try a nail art technique I've never done before - Saran Wrap! 
Here is the outcome:

Barry M Gelly Coconut, Rimmel I Heart Lasting Finish in Sunshine and Models Own Luis Lemon

31DC2014 Day 2: Orange

Hi everyone,
So it's day 2 of the 31 day challenge and today's theme is orange. Orange isn't really a colour I'm that keen on especially for nail polish (neither is yellow but we'll get on to that tomorrow!) but recently I discovered Nails Inc You're a Peach, a pretty peach nail polish. I decided to corporate the nail polish into some nail art for today by creating a negative space design. 
Here's my design:

I used Nails Inc You're a Peach and Nails Inc Atomic
