NEWBIE!

GREETINGS!

Yep, this is my very 1st post. ( a scrub to the nail world, ;>...) So, with that said, you are probably wondering 'why start a blog'  right! Welp, of course i had some help, I got inspired first by the lovely bloggers here:

then, this Awesome 31 Day Challenge

and finally my husband made the light bulb go off ..."Why don't YOU start a blog"...{ dinggg}lol. Now Im officially a nail blogger.

I wanted to put a twist on it though and show my nail creations on a budget. I only purchase polish if it costs more than 1 buck-$2.99  I mainly use very inexpensive polishes { NYX girls, Sinful Colors, Kleancolor, etc} and of course any clearance polishes China Glaza, Orly, O.P.I. The reason behind this is simple....I paint my nails often, so the polish just has to last 2-3 days max. 

So here we go....{drum roll please}

DAY3: YELLOW


                                                                          FLASH

-NYX Girls 'My Sunshine' (NGP 125) used as a base on all nails except ring finger. I used two coats. I love the NYX girls formula, easy, opaque and drys fast. What more can you ask for in an {inexpensive} formula?
 -essence colour & go 'Mellow Yellow' (51) on my ring finger. I used three coats. This is only the second time using this color and this time around it was a runny, color separated mess,{continued with mani anyways}. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem besides shaking it up a million times. Maybe I'll franken.
-for the design I place dots on my nail with NYX Girls and Kleancolor 'Black' (5) and quickly using a thumb tack going in a swirling motion....{tadaaa}

W/O FLASH

What do you think? I had fun.

I forgot to take pictures of the first two days {sorry}
Also, for this challenge, I will be challenged for sure to try to do my nails everyday for 31 days with the two little ones. Wish me Luck!
