But today is the final prompt for the 31 Day Nail Polish Challenge, re-create a mani you love. This took me FOREVER to find one that I wanted to do. And I'm still not completely sold, so look for a do-over sometime soon.
So after searching for hours on Pinterest, reading a multitude of nail blogs, I went back to one on my own Nailed It Pinterest board that I pinned like a year ago.
And of course, in true Pinterest fashion, I'm not sure if the link that I have on the pin is correct. So for the copyright Nazi's that might be reading this, I hope that whatever language the link is in says that it's her own nail art. ;)

I altered this slightly for my version. Since we are expecting snow today, (SNOW!!! Ugh!) I thought that the pink and lilac was just too springy. I instead used OPI's My Vampire is Buff as the base. Then because I did this last night at like 9 pm, I free handed the purple shapes- which is OPI'S Do You Lilac It? . And again, since it was slowly creeping on my bedtime, I free handed the black shapes too, which is Essie's Licorice.
I'm strangely liking the overall look, but as what happens with me all the time, is that I don't have the patience or the plan-aheadiness to have a completely dry base before attempting to tape. Oh well, like I said, I will most likely do another version sometime down the road.
Well, that takes me to the end of the 31 day challenge. How long did that actually take me, lol? I hope to still post regularly. I just got a new nail polish station upstairs, so my DH will be very happy that my crap is not clogging up the dining room table anymore. He's already got to refinish the table because varnish and acetone don't mix well. (Whoops).
Have a wonderful day, and for the rest of you in the Midwest today, be safe for the first bit of bad weather today. People tend to get all wackadoodle when this happens.
