31 Day Challenge - Day 6: Violet/Purple

Hi Everyone!  I have officially made it to DaY 6 of the 31 Day Challenge.  Who knew it would take me forever to do six days of posts!

Anyhoo, I have a cute treat for you, ANGRY BIRDS!!!  Yes, yes, I know there's no purple angry bird, but this is an Angry Laker Bird!  And go team, they won the last 2 games while I was sporting this look!

I got this look from a video post from CutePolish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e0hewa7iY0

I actually a more "Angry Pig" lover, but I thought this look was really nice and a fitting look for my Purple look. I've gotten a couple nice compliments on them, but it's kinda hard for random people to really see what I have on my ring finger, lol.

The purple I used is Nina's Purple X-ing.  It actually chipped really easily, so I'm not too impressed with the polish.  And yes, if you look closely, my eyes are blue...I didn't have my black accessible to me at the time, so I improvised by using a dark blue.

Sooo yeah...I have my Day 7 look ready to go, so you won't be waiting too long for the next post! =)

Here's the challenge:

I see alot of work cut out for me! LOL

Till next time!

1Up Mushroom Nails

Hi everyone!  My my my...time seems to fly.  Can you believe I'm at 19 weeks already?!?  Almost half way!!  And I'm sure the news you've all been waiting for....the baby is a boy!  What were we hoping for, you might ask?  Hmm...either or would have been fine.  I mean...each has their own benefits...and since we didn't plan the pregnancy, it's not like we were shooting for a particular sex.  And, for the record, this is going to be our one and only!  So we'll take whatever is thrown at us! =)

Anyhoo, I've been dying to do some nail art for the longest time.  It's been a few months since the wedding and my nails have almost completely grown out from the horrible jinx the nail salon put on me! Maybe in the next couple weeks, the last week part will have grown out, and I'll be back to my former glory.  Hurray!

Here's a pic of my current nails.  (Sorry it's not as sharp as other pics...this was taken on my BB.)  I just did this earlier today!  I got this design from one of the guru's on YouTube.  Her name is cutepolish and here's a link to her video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3FgpqzBf8I .

Obviously, I don't need to go into specifics.  But the only change I did make was that I put on a green glitter polish on top of the lime green, just to add that extra sparkle.  I call this version the "1Up Mushroom Nails".  The other version...not sure what mushroom is red and white.  The one that makes Mario bigger is actually red and yellow.  Oops...is that my inner geekiness coming out?  Well, the fact that I actually know what design these nails are from, coupled with the fact that I am now sporting them...yeah...I admit it, I'm a geek, lol.  Onna otaku ftw!

As a quick update, I *hope* to have a video out tomorrow or the next day.  I am going to be a bridesmaid in one of my friend's wedding, and I have an idea for how I want to do my nails for her big day!  So I figured I'd just make a video.  I won't be doing them on my own nails till next week sometime, but in the meantime, I plan to do them on my fake fingers, tee-hee.  So.....hopefully back tomorrow or Tuesday.  <3 Laterz everyone!
