Happy Labor Day to all my American friends!  I hope you didn't have to work today.  Even though I did not have to work today, I am spending the day catching up on work.  It never ends!  I am also catching up on the #31DC2017Weekly.  Today, I have a nail art look inspired by fashion.  Specifically, fashion outfits worn by Kit Harington and Rose Leslie at the Season 7 premier of Game of Thrones this summer.  I love Game of Thrones so much and was in a bit of a depression this weekend because the season is over.  So what better way to deal with it than to do some nail art inspired by the series.  Kit and Rose are a real life couple that met on set playing love interests.  How cute is that!?!?  And...they looked great together a the premier.  My manicure is a skittlette that brings both of their outfits together as one.

Random Nails of the Day

Hi folks!

With all of the reviews I do, I hardly have time to share the manicures I actual wear during the day.  I figured I could group them all together and share them here once and a while.  I got this idea from my friend Jen at AggiesDoItBetter.com.  This is collection of manicures that I actual wore for the day during the past month that haven't been posted on my blog or social media yet.  Usually, these photos get tossed into a folder on my phone for times when I don't have anything new to post.    But they want to be seen!  So let's give them their own time in the spotlight :)

Disclaimer...some of these polishes may be older, limited edition, discontinued or otherwise hard to find.  I apologize if you fall in love with something and have a hard time finding it.  But by checking out these makers, I am sure you will see something you will love even if you can't find one of these specific polishes.  Get ready for #notd spam!

Masura - Mint and Bazil

Hello friends!

Today, I have another mesmerizing magnetic manicure to share with you.  Masura is a Russian nail polish brand that creates some amazing magnetic polishes.  I just love how cool these polishes look.  The super strong neodymium magnet is key to achieving a strong magnetic effect.  I used the magnet from Masura for this mani.

Hello!

For this week's prompt, we are doing nail art looks inspired by fashion.  I am never quite sure what to do for this prompt.  So I use inspiration from a specific article of clothing/jewelry?  Do I go with a specific fashion trend or look?  Inspired by a fashion designer?  I don't know,  So I went a little vague and took my inspiration from a fashion trend but put my own spin on it.  Camouflage aka camo print.  We see this used in military battledress, hunting gear and country fashion.  I did my spin on it and added from metallic flare with magnetic polishes.  I have been enamored with Masura magnetic polishes.  They are so multidimensional and mesmerizing in the nail.  I used two colors from the Precious Stones line to create this distressed camo look and I love it how it turned out.

I have 5 beautiful polishes to share with you today from the Golden Collection by Masura.  I have shown you a few of their amazing magnetic shades (here and here) before but they also make polishes in all types of finishes.  The Golden Collection is a large lot of polishes for summer/fall 2016.  I chose 5 from the collection to try out.  I tried to get a few different finishes but you will see I was on a yellow and turquoise kick.  Again, I am super impressed with the quality and finish of all of the shades I chose.  Let's take a look!

Animal Print for the #31DC2016Weekly

Hello!

Holy moly...I am so excited to share my #31DC2016Weekly mani with you all.  I played around with some Masura magnetic polishes again and I am in awe at just how freaking cool my manicure turned out.  I am going to apologize in advance for the large amount of photos of this one mani but you need to see it.  I was inspired by a nail artist I found on Instagram through some shares on the Masura page.  The user @deryabinayulia (this is just an example of her work, you must look through ther account!) does these crazy, amazing looking snake/alligator/reptile skin manicures with gel polishes (I am pretty sure they are gel, I don't read Russian).  I am mesmerized by them.  So I tried to do my own version using magnetic polish and stamping.  I am am tickled pink with my results!

Lots of pics to come!

Blue Nails for the #31DC2016Weekly

Hi all!

I have something super cool to share with you today!  I have fallen back in love with magnetic polish.  True story, the polish that started this crazy addiction was a Sally Hansen Magnetic polish three and a half years ago.  I recently started to see Jeanette aka The Swatchaholic start doing these interesting magnetic manicures that were described as Masura Style.  The key to getting this super cool affect was using a very strong neodymium magnet.  Because the magnet is so strong, it can pull the magnetic particles even under a wet top coat.  Oh man...it is mesmerizing.  I have done a few manicures and posted them on my Instagram.  I guess that Masura saw them, because they contacted me to send some of their magnetic polishes to try out.  Score!  This is a Russian nail polish company and we all know that Russians are pretty much magical when it comes to nail art.  When they finally arrived, I knew I had to do a Masura style magnetic manicure for the challenge!
