<b>Hello again!</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a long time since I wrote a blog post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've mainly been focusing on IG (<a href="http://instagram.com/dagadelic" target="_blank">@dagadelic</a>) and FB (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Dagadelic/" target="_blank">@dagadelic</a>).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But! I received some items for review from Nicole Diary and <br />
figured it would be best to compile all the photos in one spot. <br />
This post is a bit picture heavy so get ready!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the first decal I tried. I did a base of Zoya - Snow White. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Half the images had an opaque background and the other half had a clear background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both were easy to work with and showed up nicely over my base.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this decal I did a base of KB Shimmer - Leggo my Mango.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, half the package was opaque and the other half was clear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find neon oranges to be notoriously hard to photograph... but the image</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
below is my left hand and these are the decals with the clear base. </div>

Out of all the decals, these are probably the ones I had the most trouble with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The images kept folding over on the clear decals; on the opaque ones they just didn't stretch as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm hoping this was just user error. I probably should've been more patient.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The base for these was Zoya - Brittany.</div>

For this mani I decided to skittle the clear and the opaque decals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did a base of Wet n' Wild - Bird Bath.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These one's applied really well. I was done in record time.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last but not least - 22! This mani was probably my favourite of the bunch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tropical greatness! I did a base of Nubar - Sour Apple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the decals in this pack had a clear base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The toucans were a little hard to work with at first because they're so small</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it's best to just go slow. Or put two on one nail like I did. No one will be the wiser!</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over all I was very impressed with the quality of these decals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The images are great - all very opaque. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the excess image around your nail comes off very easily with a little bit of pressure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically - if your base is tacky, anything that's not attached to it will come off nicely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only thing that bothered me about these decals is that you couldn't get</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a full ten digit manicure with the same background. For that you would have to order two packages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only one that wasn't like that was 22.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But having said that...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I totally recommend these. Fun, easy, and totally affordable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was only one sheet, which surprised me, but there is ten separate designs so in theory you could do a full manicure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The designs are sheer so you need to put on a base colour underneath.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To keep it simple I went with white. The instructions on the back are very straight forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut it out, drop it in water for 10-20 seconds, dab your nail with a bit of water, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
take out the decal, put it on the nail, and slide off the back of the decal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had no issues with application - the smudges you can see in the photos are my fault, I didn't realize they were wet still. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clean up was super easy. The film is thin enough that it comes off where ever you want it to. </div>

I was contacted by <a href="http://www.ladyqueen.com/" target="_blank">Lady Queen</a>, a company that sells a huge variety of products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose to try this plate, since anything nail related is always my first go to,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I also got a necklace (see that below!). <a href="http://www.ladyqueen.com/nailart.html" target="_blank">To check out the nail art section click here!</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The plate came as usual with film on it, no scratches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The etching was deep enough and I had no issues with the image picking up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the variety of "watermarble" options. And the two faces are a clever addition.<br />To get the plate go here:<br /><a href="http://www.ladyqueen.com/ghost-woman-heart-flower-nail-art-stamp-template-image-plate-hehe040.html" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; text-align: start;" target="_blank">http://www.ladyqueen.com/<wbr></wbr>ghost-woman-heart-flower-nail-<wbr></wbr>art-stamp-template-image-<wbr></wbr>plate-hehe040.html</a></div>

If you want to try anything from the store then I highly recommend it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had direct contact with Perlie and she answered all of my questions and kept me</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here's the necklace....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it. My only issue was that the ends of the gold necklace were pretty sharp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I put tape on the ends and covered it up, which fixed the problem.<br />To get the necklace click here:<br /><a href="http://www.ladyqueen.com/unique-fashion-golden-silver-neck-ring-blue-eye-necklace-sp0504.html" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; text-align: start;" target="_blank">http://www.ladyqueen.com/<wbr></wbr>unique-fashion-golden-silver-<wbr></wbr>neck-ring-blue-eye-necklace-<wbr></wbr>sp0504.html</a></div>

Hey there friends! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As promised here is the manicure I wore for Halloween.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little bit of WM and some freehand.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did a base of <b>Nubar - Sour Apple</b> on all my digits and then<br />once my WM decals dried I stuck those bad boys on.<br />I think the addition of my <b>Northern Lights Topcoat</b> made it a little more magical *.*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I started with an outline of the face using black acrylic paint.<br />The hair was next, and then I worked on the hat.<br />You can't tell but I also made her hair sparkle.<br />And I swear to you - from far away her lips were perfect.<br /><br />So that's it! Let me know what you think in the comments.<br /><br /><b>xo, D.</b></div>

Happy Halloween everyone!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always loved Halloween - it's a chance for everyone of all ages to have fun</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and there's really no rules. You can stay in and watch a scary movie, you can trick or treat,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can set off fireworks, or you can go out and dance with a strange person dressed as a superhero.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like Halloween has a little something for everyone.</div>

This nail art isn't what I'm actually wearing today for Halloween (stop by on Monday!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I wore this over a few days and loved the Halloween-y-ness of it all. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had yet to use a stamp for my mini Halloween series so</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I figured it was the perfect time to use one of my Bundle Monster plates.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pumpkins and haunted houses, oh my!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's it my friends! I hope you have a great and safe Halloween night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Go and get your freak on, whatever that may be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if you're dressing up let me know what you're going as!</div>

Have you ever seen a werewolf?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me neither, but I'm always on the look out turning a full moon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Could you imagine what it would be like to suddenly transform and to loose your marbles?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's said that the only way to alleviate some of the symptoms is to drink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wolfsbane Potion - or at least that's what I learned from Harry Potter.</div>

I did the white base first, then I did the design over top with white acrylic paint,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then I went out over all my work with the black. I really have to encourage you to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
use acrylic paint. When I saw different bloggers using acrylic paint I didn't understand why they didn't just use polish. <br />Let me tell you friends my eyes have been opened the last couple weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using acrylic makes the lines so crisp and the polish you put over top really adheres to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Freehand just became a little easier.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is everything to me. The blue glow isn't as strong as the green glow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it charged pretty quick and photographed really well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that's it! I'll be doing the next part of my Halloween series on Monday and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can expect a little more glow action because I am obsesssseeddd.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know what you think!!</div>

Hey all! So Friday's post was abandoned due to the fact that my photos<br />didn't turn out at all. Shit happens. But today I've a got another Halloween look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />I know lot's of people don't necessarily like the gore-y aspect of Halloween so<br />I wanted to make a mani inspired by one of the best parts of the season - candy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ended up doing the half moon candies freehand and I swear to you the lines </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
look way straighter in person. Damn close ups. I shake my fist at you.<br /> And I got a bit of tip wear on my index opening up a box. Oops. -.-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In any case I thought these were bright and fun and pretty Halloween-y.</div>

Hey there beautiful people. So last weekend was Thanksgiving here in Canada.<br />Aside from stuffing my face and throwing my workouts out the window I also had to<br />have a mani to celebrate the occasion. So I went with leaves. And a big old tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CETIRAtshfU/VEANLNFgNTI/AAAAAAAADQE/L2QV3A_b3KU/s1600/SAM_2332.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CETIRAtshfU/VEANLNFgNTI/AAAAAAAADQE/L2QV3A_b3KU/s1600/SAM_2332.JPG" height="358" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved how the silvery blue of <i>Chase The Clouds Away</i> played against the<br />colour combos in the leaves and the tree. It all felt very Fall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I wore it all weekend with no chipping.<br />Ellagee you are amazing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />And what am I thankful for? My love, my friends. my familia, and cheese.<br />Both figuratively and literally. Wait can I say - I'm all class. <br /></div>

Woot Woot! It's my 2 year blogiversary today friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although, I have to say, it doesn't feel like it's been two years at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With every passing milestone we're told to reflect and to see how much we've grown.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think in the last two years my photos have vastly improved - when I look back now at the photos I used in the beginning I tend to cringe. Why oh why did I think using a blurry cellphone camera photo was appropriate? I've also learned a lot about the blogging community as a whole. It's like an entire world nobody understands until they go down the rabbit hole and start a blog. There's great people; there's some crazy talented people; and there's also some crazy whack jobs too. But with all the nonsense that goes on there's still so much support. Thank you to all my loyal followers and to all of you who make this crazy nail art roller coaster so much fun. Couldn't have done it without you. Now let's keep this crazy train going with a mani and a giveaway!!</div>

Watermarbles are so the key to my heart right now, and this one is no exception.</div>

My boyfriend thought I painted in Sprung after I was done - but no! that's all decal baby.</div>

I ended up freehanding some fleurs too because I broke one of the decals but I still think they're fun.</div>

Hey all! It's been a week since I last saw you last and as promised I'm back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a mini Halloween series. First up, a twist on a classic. </div>

I've been a little watermarble crazy since I discovered turning them into decals.<br />They turned out very Halloween-esque I think. My pinky is my favourite.</div>

I used <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/15pcs-nail-painting-brushes-5pcs-double-ended-dotting-tools-p-14052.html" target="_blank">a tool from this set</a> (third one from the right - the tiny metal dotter)<br />but it can easily be replaced by a toothpick. So don't worry if you don't got the tools you can still try this! </div>

Hey all! So this will be my last post until next week - October 10th.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm taking a week off from posting to refill my creative juices and to destress.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I come back I'll be doing a series of Halloween inspired looks and I'll try to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
do some tutorials as well. Oh! And it's my 2 year blogiversary on the 11th so stay tuned for something special. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also have a guest post in the works and there's a Thanksgiving mani to do</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so October will be a busy month for me! Lots to look forward to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to do a comprehensive post on all the looks I did for the 31 day challenge so here it is.</div>

Holy cow! We've reached the very last day of the challenge, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which means I had to honour nails I love. So I drew inspiration from <a href="http://instagram.com/judyrox" target="_blank">Judyrox</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an amazing nail artist who's photos I often obsess over.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

It was one of those nights where I was up close and personal<br />with my nails, drawing tiny details. Judyrox had a design on 2 digits but I decided to<br />make it a full manicure. I think my favourite nail is my ring finger *.*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's it friends! The challenge is done.<br />Tomorrow I'll be posting a comprehensive post about all the looks I did and you can tell me your favourites. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then after that I'm taking a break. <br />Not too long don't worry, I just need to refill my creative juices.<br /><br />Let me know what you think of these!<br /><br /><b>xo, D.</b></div>

Hey all! So it's the day before the last day of the challenge!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I had to find a tutorial to draw inspiration from, so I found</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://instagram.com/p/rREkqOByJV/?modal=true" target="_blank">this tutorial by Sloteazzy</a> and put my own little spin on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did all of this freehand and I'm pretty proud because I was in a bit of a rush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sidenote, <i>Highlight of my Summer</i> is also a tinge greener than photographed (damn neons!!).</div>

Welcome to day 28! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's prompt was to find inspiration in the supernatural. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but once I found these little alien guys it was love at first sight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cfB6Jpp2m8Y/VCmaLU2zGHI/AAAAAAAADHo/Yn6sqHsZrLM/s1600/alien.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cfB6Jpp2m8Y/VCmaLU2zGHI/AAAAAAAADHo/Yn6sqHsZrLM/s1600/alien.jpg" height="292" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(<a href="http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/news/ufo_extraterrestrials/2013/06/03/6098.html" target="_blank">Image Source</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with a base of <i>Beyond</i>, then I freehanded the shape of the head and filled it in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that I added the eyes, mouth, and nose using <i>Licorice</i>.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
These made me so happy. So freaking holographic in the sunshine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I'm going to have to recreate these later in the month and make them glow in the dark *.*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be seeing you tomorrow with a look inspired by a tutorial. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey all! So there's only a few days left in the 31 day challenge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and today for 28 I had to draw inspiration from a flag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to combine both the Polish flag and the Canadian flag since </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they share the same colours and they both represent my heritage.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy Saturday beautiful people. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today marks the 27th day in the 31 challenge and the prompt was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to draw inspiration from artwork. I did a little digging to find something fun</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and creative and I ended up falling in love with this piece by Callow Lily.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G1nB8UqaiAQ/VCcLdRE4cWI/AAAAAAAADGQ/_oxg-SKdjaQ/s1600/air_by_CallowLily.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G1nB8UqaiAQ/VCcLdRE4cWI/AAAAAAAADGQ/_oxg-SKdjaQ/s1600/air_by_CallowLily.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">(</span><a href="http://callowlily.deviantart.com/art/air-104626242" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">Image source</a><span style="text-align: start;">)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted to paint the eyes so I freehanded them on my middle and ring finger. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The eyelashes aren't quite what I wanted but I still think they look creepy which is what I wanted in the end. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BpTWvaqQC3k/VCcLeaEqMPI/AAAAAAAADGc/dZDYJJNedg4/s1600/SAM_2069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BpTWvaqQC3k/VCcLeaEqMPI/AAAAAAAADGc/dZDYJJNedg4/s1600/SAM_2069.JPG" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To emulate the hair/clouds I started with <i>Flamingo Fanfare</i> as my base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I stamped with a combo of <i>Fierce</i> and<i> Melodramatic</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that I filled in some of the spaces created by the stamp with<i> Pink Voltage</i> and <i>Fierce</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I stamped again with <i>Fierce</i>, and to finish it off I added a bit of detailing with <i>Licorice</i>. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-38ohGmxT5p8/VCcLawMIBAI/AAAAAAAADGI/84sCj5By744/s1600/SAM_2070.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-38ohGmxT5p8/VCcLawMIBAI/AAAAAAAADGI/84sCj5By744/s1600/SAM_2070.JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think these turned out pretty good. I'll definitely be drawing inspiration from more </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of Callow Lily's work in the future. But I'm curious to know what you think. Let me know!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'll see you tomorrow with "Inspired by a Flag".</div>

Today's prompt was to find inspiration from a pattern.<br />So I googled and I found this fun circle image.</div>

<br />I decided to use a beige base instead of white and I did the dots<br />with a dotting tool and a toothpick. Super easy, it was just all about being precise.</div>

The prompt for day 25 called for drawing a little inspiration from fashion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love me a good runway show so I had a lot of fun finding something to use.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ended up finding inspiration in an outfit from Missoni's collection for Spring/Summer 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j__buKGg8nw/VCI5z8g__BI/AAAAAAAADEw/3m0_BaXxLo0/s1600/Missoni-SS-2015-MFW-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j__buKGg8nw/VCI5z8g__BI/AAAAAAAADEw/3m0_BaXxLo0/s1600/Missoni-SS-2015-MFW-2.jpg" height="640" width="425" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I loved about the look was the variety of light playful colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And! It allowed me to redeem myself from my last water marble.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also have a secret. I didn't do these the conventional way </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(i.e. do a design, dip your finger in, repeat, waste a bunch of polish and make a big old mess). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead I basically made two giant decals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to the interwebs I discovered that you can do your design and JUST LEAVE IT.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that's what I did. And it works!!! I will never ever do WMs the same way again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A few days ago I posted on my FB that "Inspired by a Book" was probably</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my favourite of the whole challenge. And here she is - floral freehand inspired by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my version of Leo Tolstoy's <i>Anna Karenina</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Y0B72_TRoE/VCIz6cGTjCI/AAAAAAAADEU/jbRe5RiH878/s1600/SAM_1885.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Y0B72_TRoE/VCIz6cGTjCI/AAAAAAAADEU/jbRe5RiH878/s1600/SAM_1885.JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did these using a water colour technique. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't have acrylic paint so I just used my regular polish and water. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did a base of white first and then built up the colours, and when that was done I did the detailing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the matte top coat was the perfect finishing touch because my book cover isn't shiny at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, let's face it, <i>Anna Karenina</i> is a depressing book. </div>

Day 23 of the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge required drawing inspiration from a movie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I went to my tower of VHS movies (yes, VHS because I'm cool like that) and picked</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
out the first cover that drew me in - Thumbelina.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ended up doing a tri-coloured gradient to match the gradient rising from the candle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then I stamped some stars and a fairy to mimic the prince and his sparkly trail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy Monday everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're now onto the second day of the "Inspired By.." section.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to draw inspiration from Beyonce's video for "XO".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a shot where she's standing in front of some bright colourful lights and I loved the rainbow effect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I saw a manicure by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ErmahgerdPerlish" target="_blank">Ermahgerd Perlish</a> on IG and an idea sparked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_K8FUuBO70Q/VB-fMyPGCII/AAAAAAAADDY/2KnMUIwbUfg/s1600/XO-beyonce.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_K8FUuBO70Q/VB-fMyPGCII/AAAAAAAADDY/2KnMUIwbUfg/s1600/XO-beyonce.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't make decals like Ermahgerd Perlish did; instead I used the O.P.I sheer tints collection</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over top of my glitter base. Basically I just placed the tints in different spots and blended them a little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm super happy with how these came out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bright and fun - just like a theme park.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now all I want is some cotton candy and to ride a roller coaster.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tomorrow I will have "Inspired by a Movie" so stop on by if you want to see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The prompt for day 21 was " Inspired by a Colour". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I picked a polish - Finger Paint's <i>Shower with Flowers</i>.<br />
A glitter made up of green circles, hexes, and bar glitters. I love the little holo sparkles too. </div>

I've used the rain drops stamp on a manicure before but I've been dying to use the rainbow</div>

that was right above it on the plate. This felt like the perfect opportunity.</div>

Day 20 - Water Marble. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps the most intimidating nail art technique out there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of mess, lots of work. Well at least for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong - I LOVE a good water marble. I just find I usually have a hard time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this time I prepared - I left both filtered and tap water out for over 24 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was even feeling excited. And then I started - and everything went wrong :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was just not a good day to marble I guess.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still pleased with what I achieved, even though it took an incredible amount of work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps it doesn't look like a typical WM, but I think it definitely looks like a slab of marble.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can imagine this on a coffee table or on a kitchen counter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My thumb was perfect until I smudged it. Like I said, everything went wrong. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I think it's okay. I could've done better but oh well. On to the next.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Damn water marbling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stop by tomorrow for inspired "By a Color".</div>
