Wow…I completely did not update the blog with my looks from the 31 Day Challenge! I kept up every day over on Instagram but just never get the time to write up posts here.

I had a lot of trouble matching polishes for ombre looks. Ombre nail art is one color, with  different shades on each nail versus each nail showing a gradient of every shade. I always second guess what goes well together and I stare at combinations debating which look better.

I finally settled on these colors and think they work really nicely! Blue and green and my favorite colors to ombre style because I have the most polishes of each.

I wanted to tip my nails with a little glitter but regretted it when I went to take photos. The silver was so shiny it stole the show and I had to color correct the original base colors!

Regardless, I hope you like this look…I definitely do!

I am still down with the hip flare and am using a combination of a cane and  walker to get around. Last Wednesday I went climbing but I felt really good afterwards. My current flare did not start until mid-Friday so I don’t know if they are related but I cannot see any other correlation!

Unfortunately, I was supposed to clean my room and bathroom this weekend but could barely get out of bed without assistance. A cluttered room does not usually bother me but when I am sick it gets on my last nerve. I just can’t stand laying in a disorganized environment when I cannot do anything about it. Do you feel like cleaning more when you’re ill, too?

Sometimes, if I do not have the luxury of a full clean I lightly tidy. During a bad flare I am unable to move very much so I incorporate a little re-organization when I do get up. It only takes a couple of extra minutes to put little things away and I feel a whole lot better! Of course, this is not the time to do any heavy lifting, like vacuuming, but a little dusting goes a long way! If I have to get up to go to the bathroom or get something to eat I might as well do a little housework as well. I feel like I am actually getting something done without tacking on extra movement.

 

I wanted something quick and easy for today’s nail art. The ombre style is very RA-friendly and a no-hassle way to include multiple colors! I hope you like my slightly embellished ombre look!
