13 Days of January, Day 13: Something You've Never Tried Before (Zoya Delight Collection Nail Art!)

Press Sample

Good afternoon, readers! I have the final 13 Days of January challenge mani for today! It is the last day of January so I am really proud that I was able to complete this challenge before it ended! Woohoo! The prompt was Something You've Never Tried Before, so I'm using the brand new Zoya Delight Collection and a ikat ruffle nail art design. I am just so excited about this new collection, it is so perfect for Spring! Three cremes and three shimmers, and they all look gorgeous together in one mani!

13 Days Of January, Day 12: Re-create One of Your Old Manis (Milani Fierce Foil Half Moon Dotticure)

Press Sample

Good evening, readers! I'm playing catch up in the 13 Days of January challenge so I can post the final mani tomorrow as planned. For Day 12, we are supposed to recreate one of our old manis. Well, I recently received the new Milani Fierce Foil Collection and I decided to recreate one of my favorite Milani creme manicures with the new foils! You can find my original design HERE-- a half moon dotticure. Today's version is a lot more sparkly, but it's also not as defined because the colors aren't as solid as the original cremes.

13 Days Of January, Day 11: Complement and Contrast (Dotticure)

Good afternoon, readers! The 11th prompt for the 13 Days of January challenge is Complement and Contrast. I have no love for complementary colors. There, I said it. I decided to go for more of a contrast using a neutral base and bright colors in this mani. Zoya Rowan from the new Naturel Satins Collection is a gorgeous taupe with a low-sheen finish and I knew it would work perfectly as the base in this mani!

13 Days Of January, Day 10: Blobbicure (OPI Fifty Shades Of Grey Nail Art)

Press Sample

Good afternoon, readers! It's time for the next nail art mani in the 13 Days of January nail art challenge! This is my least favorite prompt for the month and you will see why. We are supposed to do a Blobbicure and I just don't like them. No offense to anyone that does beautiful ones out there, but this is my 3rd try and I just can't get into them. However, I didn't want to fail at the challenge so I'm posting this anyway. 

13 Days Of January, Day 9: Rainbow (Geometric Tape Mani)

Good evening, readers! I have a rainbow manicure today to share with you for the 13 Days of January challenge! This geometric design is currently my phone wallpaper from Erin Condren and I knew I wanted to try nail art inspired by it. With so many fun colors, the Rainbow prompt was the perfect time! I used striping tape and 10 creme polishes to create this look.

13 Days Of January, Day 8: Artwork (Splatter Nail Art)

Good evening, readers! Are you ready for Day 8 of the 13 Days of January challenge? The prompt is Artwork and I tried my hand at art similar to Jackson Pollock. His turn out more like drizzles of paint on canvas, but I splattered polish on my nail using a coffee stirring straw for a similar effect. This is a color combo I picked, it isn't related to any of his paintings that I know of.

13 Days Of January, Day 7: Green Base (Spray Marble Nail Art)

Good evening, readers! I have the 7th prompt in the 13 Days of January Nail Art Challenge for you. That means we are officially past the half way point in the challenge and I'm still here! Yahoo! The prompt today was Green Base so it kinda of left it open to anything! It has been a while since I've done a spray marble and I love how this one turned out!

13 Days Of January, Day 6: Inspired By Pinterest! (Color Block Nail Art)

Good afternoon, readers! I have a second nail art look for you today. The prompt for Day 6 of the 13 Days of January Nail Art Challenge is Inspired by Pinterest. I love looking at nail art ideas on Pinterest and this is an idea I came across a few weeks ago and have been wanting to recreate ever since. Unfortunately, I have tried and cannot find the owner of this tutorial. If you know, please comment! This is a color block look and I love the color combo!

13 Days Of January, Day 5: Reversed Polarities! (Reversed Doctor Who Nail Art)

Good evening, readers! Time for the second mani of the night, this one is for the 13 Days of January challenge! Day 5 has the hardest prompt yet: Reversed Polarities. It was discussed that it meant to swap colors on objects so the grass would be blue but the sky green, etc. I decided to go with a reversed Doctor Who mani! White TARDIS? Pastel galaxy mani with black stars? GOOD CAT instead of BAD WOLF? Yes please! Any reason for a new Doctor Who mani is a good reason in my book. Let's take a look!

Good morning, readers! TGIF! Are you excited for the weekend? It's time for the 4th nail art prompt in our 13 Days of January challenge: Monochromatic. Of course I had to pick my favorite color family: orchid purples! I followed another tutorial from Idiot's Guides: Nail Art for this look!

13 Days Of January, Day 3: Half & Half! (Metal & Wood Nail Art)

Good evening, readers! I have an interesting manicure to share with you today. The nail art prompt for today's challenge was Half & Half. I asked Mr. Adventures In Acetone for some ideas on the topic and he said wood and metal! So here is my attempt at half metal, half wooden nails.

13 Days Of January, Day 2: Happiness! (Sprinkle Cookie Nail Art)

Good afternoon, readers! It's day 2 of our 13 Days of January Nail Art Challenge! Today's prompt is Happiness and I was struggling to find a good topic of inspiration for this mani. Tons of things make me happy but don't translate well onto nails so I went with a simpler idea: cookies. Cookies make me happy. Even for my birthday a few weeks ago, I requested cookies over a cake for my celebration. The prettiest cookies for nail art were rainbow sprinkled, so here we are!

Good morning, readers! A group of blogging friends and I have come together for a modified version of the Crumpet's Nail Tarts 31 Day Challenge for 2015. We will have a lot of similar nail art prompts, but just 3 times a week (because, new nail art every day for a month stresses me out!). The good news: this will bring tons of nail art to Adventures In Acetone for the month of January! It's been years since I've done a challenge that wasn't with The Digit-al Dozen and I really hope I will be able to keep up and enjoy it as a great start to the new year.

For day 1, our prompt is Follow A Tutorial. This was a no brainer for me, I still have the wonderful Idiot's Guides: Nail Art book by The Lacquerologist sitting on my nail desk with tons of tutorials to try out. In case you missed my full review on the book, click HERE (it's available for pre-order right now, and officially releases on Tuesday!).
