Black & White 10 Day Challenge Day 7: Glitters

Hi guys! I took an unexpected break from blogging this weekend, but I am hoping to get back in the swing of things again this week!

This is Day 7 of the Black and White challenge I have been participating in. The task is black and white with glitters, so I thought this polish fit the bill. It's Voodoo Doll from Nail-venturous Nail Lacquers! Sadly, I really hate how my application of this turned out. I got lazy and didn't feel like removing my previous mani (Essie Navigate Her and btw I LOVE this color), so I layered Voodoo Doll on top. Which wouldn't have been an issue, but I didn't paint neatly enough to cover the green. Blah.

So I took this off pretty quick and changed my mani entirely, but I hope to wear VooDoo Doll again soon and really do it justice because it is an amazing polish!

Black & White 10 Day Challenge Day 5: Black on Color

I am finally getting around to posting! I hate when I am so busy there isn't time to blog. But I didn't want to miss a challenge post...so here it is! This is Day 5 and we are now halfway through. The task for today was black on color. I let my husband come up with this mani since he was actually home and was in the mood to be creative.

So here is the first layer of the mani. Index to pinky: Orly Fresh, Frisky, Frolic, and Zoya Lolly.

Using an assortment of black glitters, Dustin quickly put together a cute topcoat for me. Very fun!

What would you ladies think about a glitter mix on You Mix like this?

Don't forget to see what the others participating have done for today's challenge!

Black & White 10 Day Challenge Day 4: Color on White

Hi lovely readers!

This is Day 4 of the Black and White Challenge! So far I am hanging in there! :)

The challenge task for today is color on a white base. This was easy because the possibilities are endless! I chose some colors that I knew would show up on white that probably wouldn't normally show up on other colors as well. I like the subtle effect it gives. I used Color Club Pretty in Platinum for the base, which isn't totally white but it still works! :P Plate is XL from You Mix and the colors used from pointer to pinky: China Glaze Life Preserver, China Glaze Peachy Keen, China Glaze Aquadelic, and OPI Fly.

It's kind of a funky combo of colors, but that's what I am all about these days!

Go see what the others participating in this challenge have come up with today:

Black White 10 Day Challenge Day 1: Black on White

Hi!

Today marks the first time I have done a blogging challenge! Even though it's only 10 days and they are spread out 3 days apart, I hope I can stay committed! :) I was invited to join this challenge by one of my first blogger friends, the lovely Dolores from Colorful Bottles Blog.

So the first day is black on white. I chose Orly Au Champagne as the base. This polish has such a unique finish. I definitely prefer this finish to a creme for white. Then I topped it off with LA Girl Glitter Addict in Uninhibited. Such a simple combo, but I LOVE the effect! Looks like cookies 'n cream right?
