Columbus Day

Today is Columbus Day and I decided to do nail art based on his exploration.  This day celebrates Columbus' arrival in the Americas.

I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue-Away, OPI Over the Taupe, Essense Color & Go Walk on Air, and Sinful Colors Snow Me White.

P&P's FFNA Challenge: Cloudy Skies

Today's theme is cloudy skies!

P&P's FFNA Challenge: Great Pumpkin

It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is one of my favorite Halloween movies.  It's a great story of hope.  I modeled this nail art after my bobbing for apples art.

P&P's FFNA Challenge: Sweater Weather

Sweater weather!  Today's theme is the one that actually convinced me to participate in this challenge.  My vision of this challenge was completely different than what I ended up doing.

P&P's FFNA Challenge: Bobbing for Apples

Today's challenge is bobbing for apples.  I was nervous about this challenge because I've never considered myself good at nail art.  But I can't get over how amazing this turned out.

For my apples, I used all OPI colors; A Oui Bit of Red, Fiercely Fiona, Who the Shrek Are You?, and St. Petersburgundy.  My goal was to create apples in four different colors. 

I cannot get over how amazing this is!

For the leaves and the stems, I used OPI Green-Wich Village and Sally Hansen Haute Chocolate.

I left my nails bare and painted on the apples.  I used a dotting tool for the stems and leaves.

This is by far my most favorite thing I have ever done to my nails.  What's yours?

P&P's FFNA Challenge: Crunchy Leaves

Crunchy leaves!  I love the colors the leaves change to in the Fall.  I remember collecting them from the ground when I was a kid.  I would take them to my mother and she would press them between waxed paper and iron it.  That was I could keep my leaves.
