Seven Deadly Sins - Sloth

This week's Seven Deadly Sins theme is Sloth...which is very fitting because I have been incredibly lazy with all things nail art this week. The Sloth phrase fit perfectly with my feelings this week:

(Only if you want) Create a manicure inspired by your laziness...or whatever...I'm so tired...

I'm already a day late for this week's mani and keeping with the spirit of the theme, I was incredibly lazy with my nail art in that I didn't do any nail art ;) 

I did, however, use a really fabulous and pretty polish to make up for it! I actually used an undie for this polish so I did two steps for tonight look! Impressive, right? Anyway, this is Cameo Colours Lacquers The Mother over Zoya's Evvie and I just love this color and the glitter and ugh! It's just so squishy and pretty. The Mother is a teal jelly with square glitter and I'm just obsessed with square glitter lately. I don't feel too badly about not doing nail at because I think these sparkly swatches slightly make up for it ;) 

 Happy Polishing (and easy) ;)

Seven Deadly Sins - Day 3: Greed

Happy Friday evening/Saturday morning to you all! I'm still holding up in regards to the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge and this week's theme was greed. The challenge phrase is what you might expect for one filled with greed: 

Remember, more is more...don't hold yourself back! 

Well, this meant that I pulled every single nail art item I own out of my Helmer and plopped it onto my workspace looking for inspiration. And I struggled to find it! I hate when that happens. I ended up being drawn to a gold themed Essence nail art kit that had some diamond shaped glitter and got to hand placing entirely too much of it over Milani's Black Swift. 

However, once I had done just one finger I thought my brain and hands were going to call it quits. To add to my frustration, I didn't even like how it looked after all that! Grr. I refused to give up on them though so I grabbed my Born Pretty Studs and added a few of those.

I never thought I'd say it, but I really love the rhinestone studs! The gold and black is just so fierce and bad-ass and I just love them! I wish I had done my entire mani with them, but hindsight is always 20/20. The best part about these studs is that you can reuse them! 

If you'd like to grab some of the rhinestone studs for yourself, use my code (SRL91) for 10% off your entire order plus free shipping world wide from Born Pretty :) If enough people use the code I get to host a giveaway that you all will have a shot at! 

Happy Polishing!

Seven Deadly Sins - Day 2: Gluttony

This past week has been crazy busy for me and I haven't been able to do as much nail art as I'd like - hopefully I'll be able to make up for that this weekend! 

So, for today, I have something fun and different than my normal manis. I am progressing with the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge that I started last week with a bunch of fabulous nail art ladies. This week's theme is Gluttony and I chose to go with the following challenge phrase: 

Skip your diet and paint something that makes your stomach growl!

Well, nothing makes my stomach growl more than DONUTS. Yes, they are in fact my favorite and if they are around I have zero self control and can't say no to them. I am definitely a glutton when it comes to them so I figured it was fitting to paint them for today! 

I love them so much that I couldn't even wait to take a bite out of them ;) 

Make me feel better...please tell me someone else out there has as little restraint when it comes to food as I do! ;)

Seven Deadly Sins - Day 1: Lust

Good Evening my dears! I am excited to say I'm participating in a fabulous nail art challenge with some even more fabulous nail art bloggers! Alice from One Nail to Rule Them All and Helena from Nail Wish put this whole challenge together and I'm excited to come up with manis for each of the themes! I'll be posting either once or twice a week for this one, depending on how busy/tired/what TV shows are on ;)

Each week we'll be doing manis to match each of the Seven Deadly Sins and the first one is Lust. From the challenge: 

Day 1 - Be a bad girl and make something you have wanted to do soo badly.

Well, I have wanted to do Ikat themed nails for a stupid amount of time so this was a perfect excuse to go for it! I think I'm leaning towards liking them! I used four colors for this one - OPI's Houston We Have a Purple as the base, Urban Outfitter's Eyes Wide Closed (black), Zoya's Pippa (Yellow), and OPI's My Vampire is Buff (cream).

Happy Polishing :)
