Here is my submission for the last day of the Get Lucky Nail Art Challenge!
The leaves don’t really look like shamrocks…but I like how it came out and the colors are St. Patrick’s Day-related!
Enjoy!
I used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Chick Chick and 2 coats Sinful Colors All About You as my base.
I detailed with Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas and Wet n Wild Black Creme.

It’s no surprise I love stamping snowflakes…most of my winter manicures featured a snowflake or two!
I had a snow day today (hopefully the last) and as a final hurrah before I retire my winter designs, I present my last Snowflake manicure for the NAILinkup!
Enjoy!
As my base I used 2 coats of Zoya Dream and 1 coat of Sinful Colors Nail Junkie.
I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 323, 319, Konad Special Polish White, and Essie No Place Like Chrome.

Gold, glitter, gumdrops!
And then I realized I did a(n) very similar exactly the same manicure for a NAILinkup with a different base. Oops…
I hope you it enjoy it (again)! 😉
I used 2 coats of butter London Tea with the Queen as my base.
I used 1 coat of Zoya Maria Luisa on top followed by a half coat (starting at the middle to tips) of Sephora by OPI Jewelry Top Coat Come to Pappa-razzi!
I dotted with Julie G Gumdrops Gift of Gold on the tips.

I do not own any pastel nail colors. No, seriously.
Today I reached for a pastel nail color to celebrate the beautiful weather (wasn’t really feeling neons yet) when I realized I do not own any! I decided to wear Zoya Dream instead…which was nothing close to a spring color!
Are we supposed to get a BLIZZARD again? Worst winter. Ever. And they say the peak for Cherry Blossoms is the beginning of April. HAH.

Day 2 of the Get Lucky Nail Art Challenge. I was thrilled when I found a sheep stamp in collection. However, I still need to practice my stamping. My poor sheep is missing half his face! Unfortunately, this was the best I could do today…Apologies!
Enjoy!
Polishes Used:
I used Mo You London plates 04 and 06, respectively from the Princess Collection and Mother Nature Collection.

Jessica from Be Happy and Buy Polish is hosting a four-day nail challenge! (Facebook group is linked here). The first prompt is “Shades of Green”.
I love the Sugar-Spun technique. It is so much fun and happy. Pair those with bright greens and glitters and they make for a very happy Monica!
Enjoy!
I started with 2 coats of Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas as my color base. (Teehee, I used CND green Stickey as my base coat!)
I added one coat of Deborah Lippmann’s Wicked One Short Day over my index, middle and pinky finger.
I used a generous coat of Serum No 5 Forest Lights on my ring finger.
I “sugar spun” with Sephora by OPI It’s Totally Karma.
