Nail Polish Challenge Week 28: A Flag

It's Monday...
      Welcome back guys. I hope you all enjoyed your weekends. Sadly, it is Monday again so back to the work week and also back to the nail polish challenge. We are on week 28 already! Only three more weeks left of the challenge. I can't believe I have managed to keep it up this long. This week's theme is a flag. I have always had a love of Denmark since I had a 7th grade assignment on it. It just seems like a pretty cool country to live in. I decided to pay tribute to one of my favorite countries other than my own. Here is the Danish flag on my nails...
I had to turn my hand so the flag would display right.
     This was super simple to do. First I painted my nails two coats of my Cruella De Vil Disney Villains Varnish. It is such a deep solid pretty red. You can't tell from the picture, but this one actually makes your nails shine even without a top coat. Then I just took my cheap dollar store white nail striper and painted sideways crosses that were closer to the nail bed and longer towards the nail to creater the flag of Denmark. I didn't even put on a top coat because the shine from the Cruella De Vil was quite enough. That's it! Told you it was super simple. That's all for this week's challenge. I will see you guys on the next one. Until then take care guys!

The 31 Week Nail Polish Challenge!


          Good after noon everybody! It's a beautiful sunny fall day here in the midwest. As most of you already know by now I am an active member of the Candles By Victoria message board The Pouring Pot. And they had a thread for the 31 Day Nail Polish Challenge, well a few other girls and I loved the idea, but being practical there was no way we had the time to do and redo our nails everyday so we decided to turn it into a 31 Week Nail Polish Challenge.

Week 31 5/6-5/12: Re-create your favorite challenge!

      I know this is a long term commitment so we will see how long I can keep it up. Since this week's challenge was red I decided to do a True Blood inspired simple nail look. I used Zoya's Sooki for the top which is a gorgeous bold blue based red and then on the inside of my tips I painted them black in China Glaze's Liquid Leather. Thought I'd give it a simple edge with the black tips since it is October after all.  
Such a pretty red!
And the inside tips are black and red.
     Well that is it for this post. Please look forward each week for the next challenge pictures. Also I have another new Fortune Cookie Soap haul and review on their Halloween Soap Box coming up so come back soon if you are interested in that. Hope you all are having a wonderful day and I will see you guys next time. Bye! 

Buh Bye!
