Hello Everyone!!!

Today's Prompt is "Inspired By" THE SUPERNATURAL Don't get too many ideas for this prompt. Last year I made fairy free handed which took me hour and hour. So this year I decided to keep it simple.For today challenge I made a Evil Eye which is believe to be cursed. Supernatural isnt?

The evil eye is a curse believed to be cast by a malevolent glare, usually given to a person when they are unaware. Many cultures believe that receiving the evil eye will cause misfortune or injury.

Colors are from Hello Kitty collection. I have used Acrylic paint to draw that white circle. What do you think about this mani. Supernatural enough? let me know on the comment below.

Hello Everyone!!!

Day 27 of the challenge is here that is "Inspired By" ARTWORK and I cant believe how close we are to the end. Just 4 more challenge days and it will all be over again! For today challenge we have to do nails inspired by artwork. So as always I turn to Google for Inspiration. And I choose artwork that is minimalist and that what I liked about it.

Hello Everyone!!!
Today's Prompt is "Inspired By" A PATTERN. I don't know if I should take anything specific as pattern. Last year I took square as my Pattern this time its random lines :P

Its the same Metallic blue that I used for Metallic challenge. I know I am never gonna use this polish agian. So just decided to make some use of it. If it stays on good condition than may be will use it for Metallic challenge next year :D

There is nothing much to say about this mani. I have just drawn some random lines which resulted in rectangle and small shape (: Comment below and let me know what you think about.

Tomorrow Prompt : Artwork

Hello Everyone!!!

Today's Prompt is "Inspired By" FASHION. I had no clue what to make on my nails for this challenge .Until an hour ago I was forced to came up with something. As usual I turn to my "Best Friend" Google for some help. And as always it never Disappoint me :D I searched fashion and yeah tons of images popped out on my screen. I keep scrolling down *Bam* found a gorgeous picture of Emma Watson. And I honestly thought I can interpret the dress she was wearing.

Photo Credit:thefashion-court.com

Colors are from Hello Kitty Collection.

Once I was Satisfied with the image I choose I searched more about it. What I found was quite surprising for me. Emma Watson wore this dress 2013 Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala – PUNK: Chaos to Couture on May 6, 2013. And this elegant dress is a Creation of Non other than Prabal Gurung. What surprising on that. I did his design last year to :D I picked up his design this year as well unkowingly ;)

Like I said I thought I could interpret the fashion on my nails.But umm I dont know I don't feel satisfied with the mani. As I was no mood of giving it another try so this is what you will get for this challenge. Lets just hope I have done enough justice for this beautiful creation. Comment below and let me know what you think about today's design.

Hello Everyone!!!

Today prompt is "Inspired By" A BOOK. As you might know I read books whenever I get time and its kind of habit of mine to read a book before I sleep. Even it just a page I have to read it. Thanks to internet there are lots of good E-Books available. Recently I read all the Robert Langdon series (Angels & Demons , The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, Inferno) by Dan Brown. NO my inspiration for today's Mani isnt from any of those books :P

Today mani is from the book that on my "next read" list. HATCHING TWITTER:A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal by Nick Bilton. As you know I am a big Twitter-holic. So I definitely want to know more about it. I think this book will be somewhat like the movie The Social Network for Facebook.

Colors are from Hello Kitty Collection.I used striper to create the feather and nail polish bottle itself to create the egg.

Because I dont owe a book I have attached a book cover on the images (I have the Robert Langdon series :D). I will be reading E-book and if its worth reading again and again I will think about buying it. I love the Final product. Its satisfying. Have you read any book that I mentioned? I hope you like today's Mani. Let me know on the comment below.

Tomorrow Prompt : Fashion

Hello Everyone!!!

I was happy with today's Prompt that is "Inspired By" A MOVIE. I have done tons of movie nail art. And Movie is one of the most inspiring factor for me to make a nail art. I was pretty excited to do it. I of course didn't had clue on which movie to work on. Than it hit me I recently watched Transformers: Age of Extinction, why not make a nail art out of it. So I searched the Google and lucky I found image that helped me transform the Main Character of the movie Optimums Prime on my nails.

I loved the movie. Explosion, Robot Fighting what there not to love? But as a series it was disappointing. It was a great action movie but not great sequel.

I have Attached the Image that helped me interpret Optimus Prime on my nails

I have used Acrylic paint to create this manicure. I wrote TRANSFORMER On my Index and Middle finger and Prime is on my accent nails. I am pleased with the Final product. Let me know what you think about this manicure. Comment below (:

Tomorrow Prompt : A Book

September 23, 2014 12 comments

Hello Everyone!!!

We have reached the most exciting part of this challenge since yesterday that is "Inspired By". I think this part really pushes to get out of our comfort zone. Today's prompt "Inspired By" A SONG is the only theme that I knew what I am gonna do since the beginning of the 31DC2014. I was super excited to put my idea on reality :D

As you might know I am a Huge EMINEM Fan :') I always somehow wanted to dedicate a nail art to him. But I never quite got chance or didn't find a way to did it. So here was the opportunity and I decided to use it on the spot (: Let me show you how I interpret one of the Hugely successfully song of Mr.Marshall Mathers (:

Yes its "RAP GOD". I love the song way too much. Its one of my favorite song from his album MMLP2. Recently Eminem's Rap God sets new world record for most words in a song. One section of the song features 97 words in 15 seconds, for an average of 6.5 words per second. That is seriously "Lyrics coming at you at supersonic speed" (Quoted Eminem lyrics ^-^) I just thought this the best way for me to dedicate something to him.

I have used Acrylic paint for this mani. Beside my middle and ring finger everything is done from Acrylic paint. If you have seen the video Of Rap God you might interpret the design. If not I have attached the video below. And the image that inspired me to do this mani.

Yes I have choose the background that is frequently shown in the Video.I am so pleased and satisfied with this Mani. It turned out exactly how I image it. I hope you like today's Mani. Let me know on the comment below.

Hello Everyone!!!

Today's Prompt is "Style"GALAXIES. The original idea was to make Dripping galaxies but yeah like always it turned into big mess So I settle with the Classic Galaxies Manicure.

Colors are from Hello Kitty Collection

After I snapped the pictures I realized I should have applied a coat of Glitter polish but my little sister it looks good this way, so didn't bother for Glitter. What do you think? Let me know on the comment below.
