Day 30- Recreate Your Favorite Mani

Wow I can't believe that this month (and this challenge) is already over!! It seems like it went by so fast! This mani wasn't based on anything, I was just looking at my stamping plates and I wanted to do something cool! I really like these colors together! Look out for more stamping in the near future ;)

Colors:

Base Coat- Essie Grow Faster

NYC- Sidewalkers

NYC- Wine Bar

Revlon- 24K

Bundle Monster Stamping Plate BM201

Top Coat- Seche Vite

Day 29- Inspired by a Song

This wasn't so much inspired by a song, more an album cover. I have wanted to do this for a while, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. In case you dont know, this is the album cover for Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. and honestly i'd be surprised if you havent seen it before!

I just wish I had a thinner brush!

Day 28- Inspired by Fashion

this mani was inspired by this Alexander McQueen dress. My thumb hit my camera just as I was about to start taking pictures, and my camera battery was dying so I didnt want to take the time to fix it :(
