200 followers and some bug pokemon!

I broke 200 here on the blog! That's so exciting! I appreciate all of the nail friends, so thank you for being here!


As for TODAY! Shorter post. This week on the pokemon nail challenge:

BUGS!

now, while not my favorite pokemon type (really, Viridian Forest was my least favorite place) the bugs certainly have interesting designs! And I picked the better of the two cocoon pokémon, Kakuna!

Almost incapable of moving, this POKéMON can only harden its shell to protect itself from predators.

Used Manglaze Fuggen Ugly as a base!

Chg Happy Go Lucky, Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow,  Sinful Snow Me White and Chg Liquid Leather

Topped the ring and pinky with Poshe to be consistent! (I didn't feel like matting out the art! ^_^)

And the giveaway is still going until the 24th! Giveaway Info!

same nail polish time, same nail polish place!

It's not very effective...

Hey there, Nail Friends!


I'm a day late for water type week here in the Pokémon nail challenge!

 But we're a laid back group of ladies (who you are welcome to still join!) and everyone's accepting of tardiness. Speaking of this group, there were some AMAZING pieces of nail art this week from all these talented people and you should check them out! Inlinkz links at the bottom!


So where should I start...hmmm. Well I was just wandering around aimlessly, wondering what pokémon I should choose this week when I was given a golden pokéball. Whatever could be IN IT! It must be the most amazing pokémon in the universe! So I cracked it open and what do I get?

That pic was too good not to use. ANYWAY NAILS!

Sassy Magmar

Hi there, Nail Friends!

I just couldn't come up with a silly title....so I had to go with descriptive. Because this pokémon is SASSY!

An anecdote:

I'm sitting on my computer trying to figure out which fire-type pokémon when my boyfriend says, "what about Magmar?" and then a pause. "You could do him doing duckface"


CRICKETS

That is Magmar. And these are magmar nails!

Yes Magmar. LOVE the camera!

Bacon!lava!

Pokédex entry: "Its body always burns with an orange glow that enables it to hide perfectly among flames." (source:http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/magmar)


magmar....is totally trying to seduce the camera. But doesn't realize he's surrounded by bacon!lava. And he has carpet fuzz on him. lol. FIRE TYPE WEEK! Mostly a success!

Polished used:
Zoya Purity (base of white)
China Glaze Salsa
China Glaze Happy Go Lucky
China Glaze Papaya Punch
China Glaze Liquid Leather

next week is my favorite type! :D

make sure to check out the other awesome ladies and their pokémon this week~







Until next time, Nail Friends!
same polish time, same polish channel!

What's that in the tall grass~?

Hello, Nail Friends!

It's dangerous out there without a pokémon! Wild oddish are in the grass! But can you tell which is a pokémon and which is just a plant?

Hint: one of these are pokémon! (the one you can barely see!)

Take it away, Dex!

"Oddish. The "weed" pokémon. During the day, it keeps its face buried in the ground. At night, it wanders around sowing its seeds." (Source: http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/oddish)

Thanks.

That's RIGHT! It's week one of the Pokémon nail challenge! Hosted by yours truly and Sharra from The Blahg, this challenge is a pokémon a week from each of the different types. This week is Grass-type pokémon and I chose Oddish! (He was a very popular little guy this week, scoring 1st place in number of nails he adorned!)

And he's SO happy to see you!

For this mani I used:

a teeny paintbrush

China Glaze Liquid Leather

Cult Nails Manipulative

Sinful Colors Snow Me White

China Glaze Salsa

Zoya Shawn

Sinful Colors Innocence

Zoya Skylar

China Glaze Aqua Baby!

Squirtle! Use Bubblebeam!

I told you I'd be back, Nail Friends!

This mani took a LOT longer than I thought it would (though I don't know why I thought it'd be fast. I take forever when I'm doing nail art!)

So Sarah from Chalkboard Nails is holding a blog contest like I mentioned in my giveaway post a few hours ago. The rules are, and I copy and paste quote:

• Only one entry per person, please.
• You must do these designs on your own nails.
• Your design must use a dotting tool of some kind.
• You can use the brush that comes with your polish to aid in your design.
• Stamping is discouraged but not prohibited. I really want this to be about the dotting tool and its possibilities!
• You may not use acrylic paint for your design.
• You may not use nail art brushes for your design.
• Your design does not have to be a new design.
• You must submit your designs through the Inlinkz tool at the end of this post between now and Monday, March 5th. 
• This contest is open internationally, excluding Italy (Llarowe does not ship there).

Check out the contest HERE!

Now, I got into nails because I could do art on them, so art-based contests make me super excited! I thought about what I wanted to do for a couple days and finally I decided that you can never go wrong with Pokémon! And here's how it went!
