31 Day Nail Art Challenge - Day 26: Inspired by a pattern

So, I'm pretty sure I've officially lost my motivation for this challenge. Luckily, there's only 5 days left. I don't hate this design, but I've been feeling very uninspired for the last couple days.

Anyway, this mani is inspired by the herringbone pattern, just in case you couldn't tell. As always, I don't do well with freehanding lines, but I like to challenge myself so I've been doing it quite a lot nonetheless. There's actually a small black fiber stuck to my pinky, which you might see if you magnify the picture.

Colors used:
essie - spin the bottle (nude)
essence - wonderfuel (purple with light blue/cyan shimmer)

31 Day Nail Art Challenge - Day 7: Black & White

Well, this was fun. I've always loved black & white patterns and nails, so I really enjoyed this prompt.
Also, I've said this a couple days ago but I absolutely suck at freehanding lines, so these were kind of difficult to paint. I got through it though, and they don't look too shabby.

It doesn't quite look like it, but the base is actually black. I'm not sure why, but in the pictures I took, the base looks navy rather than true black.
