80's brights!


Hello, Fireflies!

I've been slacking a bit on the NCC Challenges, I'm afraid.  I'm half-assing it a little bit today, too, by pulling a mani from the vault that fits this month's challenge.  I'm calling it a win, though, because I do like this mani, and I rarely wear yellow on its own.

Old School Gaming


Hello, Fireflies!

This month's NCC Challenge theme is Video Games.  I'm not a hard-core gamer, but I married one!  We bonded over dates playing pinball and arcade games way back in the day.

Leafy T-shirt


Hello, Fireflies!

I didn't get all four of the challenge posts done this month.  Bad blogger.  And, today's nailart is one I really liked a lot, but I don't know what I was thinking when I tried documenting it.  No polish names, no stamping plate name...  just some pretty pictures for you to enjoy!

Floral Nails, Stamped and Framed


Hello, Fireflies!

Remember last week, when I did a square glitter nail look to match a dress?  Today, I have a stamped glitter look I created to match the same dress!


It's hard to tell, but the stamp is supposed to be the outline of roses.


It just looks like a stained-glass window, though, with all that glittery goodness!


I like how the polish abstractly creates flower patterns, like the less defined flowers on the dress.
I used my generic white polish as a base, Deborah Lippmann Cosmic Love glitter, and a black striper to frame the mani.  I don't remember what polish I used to stamp, but most likely Finger Paints Black Expressionism.
Which interpretation do you like better? Stamped over glitter, or square glitter over coral?

Chocolate Holo Swirls


Hello, Fireflies!

It's nearly the end of the month, and I've just time to squeak in the last nail art for this month's NCC challenge of Candy and Sweets.  My favorite treat is probably chocolate, and I tried a new kind this month that I thought was lovely enough to eat - and paint!

Sparkly Cupcakes


Hello, Fireflies!

Time for the 3rd installment of this month's NCC challenge of Candy & Sweets.  I'm back with another stamping decal that looks good enough to eat to wear on your nails?

So Nerdy


Hello, Fireflies!

It's time for the next installment of this month's NCC challenge - Candy & Sweets.  I went a little literal with this one.

Melts On My Nails...


Hello, Fireflies!

It's a new month, and this month's theme is Candy & Sweets! My first nailart is dedicated to my husband's favorite chocolate candy -

Anarchy


Hello, Fireflies!

Today's the last day of March's Punk/Rock challenge, and I've packed it with as much irony as I can muster!

Studly Punk


Hello, Fireflies!

I've gotten a little sidetracked this month, and fell behind on my Punk/Rock & Roll challenge.  I went for the ultimate classic punk nail art first, and now I'm moving on to the next most stereotypic punk accessory - the pointy metal stud.

What's Punker Than Punk?


Hello, Fireflies!

Welcome to another month of The Nail Challenge Collaborative!  This month's theme is 'Punk & Rock" and I have, what I think, is THE quintessential Punk nailart for you.

To Thine Own Self

Hello, Fireflies!

It's time for the last nailart for February's Typography challenge.  Instead of stamping, I try a little handwriting and introspection.

Lost For Words


Hello, Fireflies!

I'm trying to catch up on this lost week of posts, and today's post is the third in the NCC Typography challenge!  I have found this one to be extra-challenging, because I have the worst time stamping words on my tiny nails.  Sometimes, the words are too big, and sometimes, I can't get a clear image.

Words are hard.

I Love You Beary Much #14DaysofValentines


Hello, Fireflies!

Today's post is a combination of the NCC challenge, with a little Valentine's Day thrown in.  The new challenge for this month is, "Typography" which I have interpreted as a nailart with words on it.  So, here's a few words, and a little love!

Purple Patchwork


Hello, Fireflies!

It's the last purple nailart for this month's purply NCC theme!  I reach back in the vault to mix it up with a little red and a lot of shine.

Purple Roses


Hello, Fireflies!

Time for another purple nailart!  Today's look has a purple to purple gradient, with stamping in purple! I think it fits the challenge...

On Purple Clouds


Hello, Fireflies!

Time for another week of this month's NCC Challenge - Purple.  I should be on tenterhooks waiting for your reaction, but I can't help it.. I'm on clouds.  Cloud nailart, that is.

Royal Purple Swirls


Hello, Fireflies!

It's a new year, and a new banner for the NCC! Pretty foil rainbows.  Seems appropriate that the first monthly theme be a rainbow color, too - purple!
