May Nail Art Challenge - Doodles!

Is anyone else living in sweltering heat in the middle of May?? It's been so hot here that I have not felt like doing anything at all. Despite it being after 10pm here, it's still 88 degrees! Yikes! Does not bode well for the coming summer. 

I did get my act together to an extent though and finished the next theme for the May Nail Art Challenge. Doodles! I took this very literal and just went for it. I painted the "paper" background first which I actually really loved just plain! 

May Nail Art Challenge - OOTD

The latest theme of the May Nail Art Challenge is OOTD - or Outfit of the Day. I've really enjoyed doing these in the past and this one was no exception. Yesterday was the boyfriend's only day off so we got to grab some awesome Mexican food and I got to bust out my new coral dress! I really love the detail around the collar and I new I'd have to recreate it. 

 I used OPI's My Vampire is Buff as the base color, and used my medium length striper brush to create the coral line work with wet n' wild's Heatwave. This coral has become one of my favorites because it's so bright and fast drying. 

May Nail Art Challenge - Neon

Obsession has a name and it's Serum No. 5 Day Glow. 

Today is the Neon theme for the May Nail Art Challenge and since I own exactly 2 neon colors, I figured I was going to be short for things to do for this theme. However, the fabulous Amber at Ethereal Nails got me Serum No. 5's Day Glow as part of a nail mail package. It is the perfect neon/bright/magic color in the history of ever. 

This polish dried matte and somewhat textured so I put a top coat on them to give it a bit more consistency. I really love how these look and I really can't stop staring at them. 

May Nail Art Challenge - Star Wars

May the Fourth be will you, my fellow nail art lovers! Today's Nail Art Challenge theme is Star Wars. For those who didn't know, May 4th has been dubbed Star Wars day since May the 4th sounds very much like May the Force ;) 

I admit I was kind of worrying about doing today's mani - there is so much pressure when it comes to something as well known as Star Wars. Certain images are so well known that recreating them never does them justice. I originally wanted to do something related to the intro scroll scene of all the Star Wars movies, but alas, my nails are not long enough. Instead, I decided to try my hand and their iconic logo, some lightsabers, and a stormtrooper! What do you think? 

May Nail Art Challenge - Flowers

Hello lovelies! I have a super super quick post for you tonight.

I think I said something similar at the start of last month, but holy cow! Can you believe that it's already May! Happy May Day to you all :) I'm doing another monthly nail art challenge for this month and the first theme is flowers again! I love me some flowers. I put these together in about 20 minutes so that's why there isn't too much going on with them. I think I like them? I keep going back and forth on them! 

I used Zoya's Neely (ZOMG AMAZING) as the base color, and the flowers are made up of SOPI's Leotard Optional, and Lime Crime's Milky Ways and Lavendary. What do you think?
