Just because tulips have met....



Today's Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge was tulips.  Again I have to apologize for the state of the picture because I keep forgetting to bring my camera to class and then on the one day I DID remember I somehow forgot the memory card.  Seventy hour weeks will do that to your brain!!  But I'm surprised how well I've been keeping up with the challenges despite my camera issues.  :)  I just managed to get the entire China Glaze Magnetix and Hunger Games collections and I'm thinking of swatching them for you guys soon.  My swatches aren't the greatest so I'd love feedback from you guys as to if it's something you'd be interested in seeing here. :)  I will be swatching some of them anyway though alongside some polishes I have which are similar to them.  I also am going through my collection slowly but surely and trying to shave my growing 600 + collection down into something more manageable.  So watch my blog sale page closely! :)  Anyway back to the nails.  I used Catrice Am I Blue or Am I Green for the base, OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI? for the tulip and Zoya Pippa and Hard Candy The End for the stamen.  Enjoy and thanks for following along!!

The Spring Challenge for today was inspired by Daffodil's.  I actually did several nail art designs for this but ultimately, I hated them all.  I'm not super into flowers on my nails and daffodil's are tricky to make look appealing anyway.  So I decided to look at it from a different perspective--the inside.  I was loosely inspired by this picture:


See how the orange stamen sort of creep up the yellow inside of the daffodil?  Pretty, no?  And as there are more floral challenges to come it kept me from having an entire month of flowery nails!!  I hope you all enjoy these, and thanks so much for following!! I noticed that I've now surpassed 200 followers and it's so exciting to me how many of you are following along with me.  I'm still not sure how I feel about giveaways, BUT something very special will be coming soon I promise!!

Base is: Zoya Pippa and orange is Models Own Tangerine Queen
