Hey internets, wanna look at my nails some more? Sure you do! You're fascinated!

I typically do my nails at night, when I've done (most of) everything I need to do for the day and don't have to worry about smudging them with a last-minute laundry load or whatever. Which also means that some days I am just too tired to even think about sitting at my desk for half an hour playing with tools and polishes - with my window open to the night, the plaintive cries of lambs drifting through, so that I don't stink up my room any more than strictly necessary.

The first time I tumbled into bed instead of doing my nails I felt bad about it... for about five seconds. Then I remembered that this challenge is for me and me alone and I do not actually give a damn whether I complete it within the mandated 31 days. I have other things to give a damn about!

On to the pictures, I know that's what you want, you vultures:

Colour VIOLET:


Violet nails with floral pattern on accent nails

Colour BLACK AND WHITE:

black nails with little panda faces on the accent nails

Colour METALLIC:

chrome magnetic polish over green and copper metallic polish

Colour RAINBOW


nails striped orange, pink, green, purple and violet

Colour GRADIENT:

gradient nails going from light violet at base to deep purple glitter at tip

Pattern POLKA DOTS:

reverse colour scheme polka dots on tip and base, in mint and periwinkle

Pattern: STRIPES


glitter purple under black stripe pattern

Pattern ANIMAL PRINT:

black nails with gold stripes in vague zebra pattern

Pattern FLOWERS:

gold nails with black flowers, pink accent nails with black and gold stippling

Pattern DELICATE PRINT:

Blue star pattern stamp over light pink base

My favourite manicure so far is the polka dots, with the panda nails a close second. What do you think?

I can see them now! And they're awesome. Man, metallic nail polish is really cool. PRETTY SHIT ON YOUR NAILS WITH SCIENCE!

And I like the polka dots!

Pandas are WIN.

I envy you your nails.

I think they're beautiful, and that manicures could be your day job.

I love the panda nails! I think the metallic came out extremely well, too - I can never get that lovely banding on more than about half mine.
