Day 6- Inspired by L’wren Scott

Today i had such a hard time choosing what to do! there was one that i immediately wanted to do but i thought it wouldn’t turn out very well so I was going to do another dress but I was looking at my stamping plates and I saw a pattern that looked like the one I originally wanted to do! Yay! This is the dress:

Day 4- Inspired by Elie Saab

Today was inspired by Elie Saab. Many of his designs have plunging necklines, so I decided to integrate that into my mani, it didnt really turn out very “deep” but I thought it still looked very classy and I have already gotten compliments on it! :)

heres the dress:

Day 3- Inspired by Stéphane Rolland

I know, I’m a day late, but I was out doing mothers day things with my family all day yesterday, so I didn’t get a chance to post! 

I based my nails off of two different outfits. almost all of his designs are monochrome, i think the only colors i saw other than black/white/gray were red and gold. I based my nails off of these two outfits:

Day 2- Inspired by Oscar De La Renta

Hi! Today’s mani was inspired by Oscar De La Renta, there were soo many beautiful dresses I had trouble choosing, but my nails have been colorful for a while now so I decided to go with a black and white design inspired by this:

I think I could have done better, but I didn’t have time to redo it :/ I’m still happy with it though!

Challenge

Hi all! I guess I just missed having a challenge in my life too much, because I am (sort of) hosting one! I didn’t come up with this idea, I honestly just changed the dates! I don’t know who made it, but if you do please let me know, I would like to give them credit for this super fun idea!

(EDIT: i found who made this challenge! yay google! check out the orignal designs at: http://www.valiantlyvarnished.com/2013/04/couture-nail-art-challenge-day-1.html  :) glad to give her credit, this is an awesome challenge!)

Now I don’t know anything about fashion (honestly, my boyfriend is more fashion-conscious than i am!) but this challenge seems really fun to me, especially because I have only heard of a few of these designers, and I cant tell you any of their styles or anything, so in starting this challenge, I really have no idea what I’m getting myself into! hey thats half the fun right? maybe.

anyway, heres the picture of what the challenge entails. I changed the dates because the original ones were from april. also, i made it change every 2 days because i know that i am always sad when i have to take off a super cool mani, and i know this will be super cool because they are inspired by fashion!

without further ado, here is your picture:

No More Challenge

Well, I feel like I haven’t posted in a while (it has only been 4 days!) but for the past two months I’ve been posting every day for the challenges I’ve been doing, so now I have to think on my own! My camera’s batteries died, so I had to take some pictures with my phone so they aren’t the best quality, but my camera will be back up in no time! For this one I got lazy and decided to stamp again (at least it looks like I did something complicated ;)

haha)
