Pastel Galaxy

I don't know if any moms read my blog, but if you are a mom you just migth have heard of the Baby Center website. They have tons of information about babies and kids plus several chat boards. One of the boards I belong to has started a nail board that is going very strong! (Shout out to my BHB ladies!)
What's great about that is that we understand time restraints since we are all moms. We're all super supportive of each other which can be rare both in mom groups and the nail polish community. It's a neat little haven.

Anyway, we've decided to do weekly challenges. We get one theme for the week. Again as moms, getting a whole week to do a challenge works great! This week's theme is galaxies. I've done regular and Northern Lights ones. Today I decided to go with another "new" one and do pastel galaxy nails.


I followed a few different tutorials for this one and made it my own. It's not as pastel as other pastel galaxy manis, but I like some of the pops of dark colors.

I used a crap ton of polishes too:
Base is two coats of Sinful Colors Candy Coated.
I added the galaxy using Wet n Wild French White Creme, Barry M Blueberry, Zoya Pippa (yellow), Sinful Colors Fig, A-England Lake of the Lake (purple holographic), Zoya Pippa (pink), Revlon Minted (mint green that was mostly used to tone down purple base as Minted was pretty sheer), and Nubar Absolute (very lightly sponged to add the shimmery effect).

31 Day Challenge: Day 26, Inspired by a Pattern

Today's theme is Inspired By A Pattern.


I wasn't sure what to do for this challenge, so I went to the ever wonderful Google, typed in pattern into images, and scrolled until I found this one that I liked.


I used a base of Nubar Indigo Illusion. I used 3 coats to make sure of the coverage. Then I used Rimmel Wild Orchid to freehand the arcs.

31 Day Challenge: Day 13, Animal Print

Today's challenge is Animal Print.


I decided to go in a different direction for today's challenge. Actually, I've done that a lot which is pretty indicative of my personality.  As much as I LOVE leopard print nails, today I went with something I haven't tried before: butterfly print!

I started with a base coat of Nubar Absolute. It's a light blue holo. It applied beautiful. Since I tend to use thinner coats, I needed 3. Then I used Rimmel Black Satin and Rimmel French White to add in the details to make it a butterfly. Enjoy!
