February Nail Art Challenge Day 1 - Galaxy Nails

This is my day 1 Galaxy Nails mani for Erica's Nails and More's February 9 Day Nail Art Challenge.

A big part of her challenge is to support her current No Buy by using either untried polishes or ones that haven't been used in awhile. So in support of that all the polishes I used fell into one of those two categories.

I wanted to do something different with this galaxy mani than I have done on my previous ones. Instead of using a dark blue or black base color I used I Love You by Sinful Colors. Which is a beautiful dark purple glitter. This is an untried for me, I have had it for ages and never used it on myself.

I then used a makeup sponge piece to apply Endless Blue to start creating my nebulae. This is another untried color which I love. However you can't really see it in the final results of the mani.

I followed this up with Unicorn by Sinful Colors another I believe untried, if not it hasn't been used in forever. I then did a few spots on the nebulae with Tantalize by Sinful Colors, a recent gift that had yet to be tried.

I then used a nail art brush to dot and draw a few bigger stars on with Tantalize. My last step was to do a very thin coat of Glitter TopCoat by Claire's. This was a Christmas present, (which had not been used yet) from a friend I have had my whole life, how well she knows me!!!

She is very big into science and I wanted to make sure I was using the correct term for what I was attempting to create on my nails. I have provided a link attached to the word nebulae in case you would like to know more about what it means.

I hope you enjoyed this slightly different looking take on galaxy nails!!!

Please take the time to check out the awesome creations from the other lovely ladies participating in this months challenge.

Polishes used:

Naughty Nails Contest

datyorkLOVES (aka SassyNails on Facebook) Lena Loves Nails, Frugal Polish and Enchanted Nails and Fluffy Dog Tails are hosting a Don't Be A Dick To Your Cervix Nail Contest.

This is my entry for that contest. It is based off the corset I wore for my wedding...  I hope you enjoy the mani as much as Mr. PGC enjoyed the original corset......   xoxo 

So the thumb represents the bottom of the corset with the garters attached to a stocking Complete with pink butterfly hip tatto (which I do not have).

Pointer finger is just one one booby!

Middle finger is the top of the back of the corset.

Ring finger is front view with metal closures (this corset only has laces in the back).

Pinky is the wait area as seen in the back.

I made sure to get different shots of the thumb so it can be seen from the proper angle (not upside down or sideways).

Perplexing Plaid

Kiss Nail Art: Silver and Silver Glitter.

New Cover Photo

So in honor of Pink Lady joining me in my blogging and my Facebook page I decided it was time to update the cover photo of our Facebook page Polish Gone Crazy. That being said I decided it should be something that reflected us both. My favorite color is lime green and hers is hot pink. 

So after much thought I came up with a really cool asymmetrical green and pink french mani. With black and silver accents and a really cool triangle shaped rainbow gem. I hope you like it!

World Diabetes Day

Today November 14th is World Diabetes Day. 

I decided to do a blue manicure to support all those suffering from it and to do just a little to help spread awareness. 

I have many friends and family members who have 

diabetes, and would do anything to help them.

 I also found these really cool polishes that you can buy and they donate to Diabetes Research Institute, here is the link again http://tips4type1.com/ . 

I hope you enjoy this mani as much as I do.

I used Finger Paints: Laugh My Art Off and Easel Come, Easel Go!

The rhinestones I bought on Amazon.com are by Cheeky.
