31 Day Challenge 2012 & 30 Days of Untrieds

Last year a bunch of my blogger friends did the 31 Day Challenge where you follow a list of nail polish related things to do for 31 days on your nails. Well this year I am joining in along with them!!

Here is the challenge (31st day is different from the original) that Sarah over at Chalkboard Nails has created. The challenge starts tomorrow, September 1st for anyone wanting to join us!

I am also joining in with Polished Criminals to incorporate 30 Days of Untrieds. Some of you may remember this challenge that I started last year. I thought it would be cool to get some untrieds out of the way.

Will you be participating this year? I am going to try my BEST to keep up this year and finish it out til the end!

International Haul & Such

This month I had quite the international haul come to my house!! With the help of a few great ladies I was able to get two Catrice collections that I had really been wanting and the Essence Snow White collection.

This is the Catrice Coolibri collection. Thanks to my friend Maddie, I was able to get the whole set!!! She also sent some cute Hello Kitty gummy snacks, a leopard print mini nail file, and glittery nail clippers! Thanks Maddie!!!

This collection is the Catrice Cruise Couture collection. While the colors may seem simple and not unique, they totally are!! Love them!! A BIG Thank You to Caroline from Good Lack, Nail! for these!!!

If you know me and Disney, well, we're inseparable!!! I just had to have everything from this collection and Caroline (my lifesaver) was able to get it all for me!!! Thank you again, Caroline!!! Also a thank you to Marcy for shipping them to me!!!

The HAREpolish polishes I received were Rad Cloud, Magic Mist, Dog Day Dream, and Asteroid Turf. I had gotten Rad Cloud, Magic Mist, and Dog Day Dream from the Llarowe stock. Asteroid Turf I received from HAREpolish's etsy shop.

Deborah Lippmann Between the Sheets and Boom Boom Pow arrived from my Apothica order!!

Finally, from the $0.99 Sinful Colors sale at Walgreens I got only one color!!!

Disney Nail Art Contest!!!

The Disney Nail Art Contest is really simple. Just create something original that is on your own nails  and the nail art has to do with Disney! Anything that is related to Disney you can do on your nails!!

Disney movies, Disney princesses, Disney theme parks, Disney Junior, Disney Channel, etc...

I chose to do Disney as the theme for the nail art contest because Disney is one of my favorite creators when it comes to movies...and my daughter's. Plus, we are going to Disneyland soon and it is one of my favorite places on earth!

With any contest comes rules. The rules are:

1. The nail art picture you submit must be yours!

2. Nail Art can't be submitted if on a fake hand with fake nails

3. No stealing pictures from the internet and claiming them as yours

4. There is no limitation as to how many photos you can submit, but please make sure each submission is a different design

Be sure to check out my original post regarding the prizes!!! Go check out those goodies!!

Your nails are your canvas!! Be creative and let those creative juices flow onto your nails!! You can use anything on your nails that will translate to nail art. For example: acrylic paints, nail polish, stamping, beads, flocking, etc....

GOOD LUCK!

Contest starts August 10, 2012 8:00am pst

Contest ends September 1, 2012 8:00pm pst

Thank you so much for following me and all of your comments are greatly appreciated!!

Indie Feature: Dollish Polish

Dollish Polish The Hero of Time

The Hero of Time is a polish created by Dolly in a Zelda Duo consisting of this one, The Hero of Time, and Hylian Princess.

  

The Hero of Time is a representation of Link, a hero in the game The Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Time.

The colors in this polish represent Link perfectly! Here is Link:

Now I'll show you the polish and let you decide if it's a great representation or not!

What do you think?

Now onto my swatch!

I decided to layer this polish over Icing Shimmer which is a gorgeous nude gold with gold shimmer. I thought it would compliment the gold/yellow glitter in the polish.

As you can see, the glitter consists of multiple shades of green glitter, brown, and yellow/gold.

Dollish Polish can be purchased through multiple online stores as well as through the Dollish Polish store. You can follow Dolly on Facebook as well to get shop updates!

I happened to purchase this polish through Overall Beauty's pre-sale a few weeks back. Overall Beauty shipped these super fast and they were packaged so well!! I will definitely be shopping from there again!

Liquid Euphoria: Euphoric

I recently stumbled across a very old polish.

Liquid Euphoria Euphoric!!!

Liquid Euphoria's are known for their wonderful color shifting pigments! This one in particular was a deep jelly purple with green to teal color shifting. It is awesome!!!

This was such a stunning polish to have on my fingers and it is purely magical!!
