When I think of light, I think of shiny things and either the colour white or yellow. My nails may look like snow but they're actually things that represent light to me.... although snow is almost here, I hope!

PCFSC: #30; Easter Bonnets
I've never hear of an "Easter Bonnet" in my life - I thought they'll be more like those lady bonnets from long time ago where women did all the housework and men had most authory... luckily nowdays there's a handy little search engine called Google.
Google told me that Easter Bonnets are hats decorated with flowers and chicken which celebrates spring and easter for the Easter parade; they're also made from straw or knitted. This was my inspiration:

... Funny thing was, I was going to stamp on butterflies and roses then layer nail decals sticker on top but I had left my stamper and scrapper back at home! Oh my.

PCFSC: #27; Favourite Pastel Blue/Green
Originally, I was going to pick a pastel green for today's nails but after adding most of China Glaze's ElectroPop Collection in my own, from falling in love with Gaga for Green.. I chose a pastel blue instead. It's definitely a sweet colour with an exciting name and I would even go as far as saying that it is the prefect pastel blue ever, from both shade and formula!
I think you can tell how much I love it from the amount that it has been used in the last month (I would have been using my crummy franken if I didn't pick this polish up) or so for the Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge :)

PCFSC: #24; Butterflies
This type of nail art is a lot harder than it looks! It's exactly like the galaxy one, looks easy because it just looks so good but in reality, it's extremely difficult. I applaud those girls who are able to draw the black lines of the butterfly in a crisp, smooth manner, I am truly amazed and I definitely know I can't!

PCFSC: #18; Lambs
I automatically thought of "Counting Sheep" when I saw today's challenge, so just imaging this is a spring night, full of stars, with little baby lambs jumping a fence, Baahh!

PCFSC: #15; Mr. Blue Sky
This manicure has been very very popular within the Japanese nail design world. I've always wonder how it was done, is there some kind of japanese gift tape that they were using? Or did they use a cloud shaped pair of scissors to cut the tape and painted it like a normal tape manicure? Apparently you don't even need any of those things, just 3 bottles of nail polish and some drying time!
It has been a mystery to me until Jane from Nailside explained it on a tutorial and she described it as a cloud! So here's my Mr. Blue sky, complete with corally-gold clouds from the sun rising.

PCFSC: #10; Unicorn Magic Day
I had no clue what to do for today's challenge! I thought of painting a unicorn or something with a unicorn but figured that it would be way too hard for me. In the end I decided to paint my nails as close as I can to Cult Nail's Unicorn Puke without all the flakies since I only really have one that's in a clearish base. What do you think? Close enough?

PCFSC: #7; Spring Sunrise
I googled images of Spring Sunrise and got many photos with the same beautiful coral skies gradienting into the night blue above and patches of grey clouds shatter around. It's just very beautiful.
Honestly, I have never witness the sun raising but I have seen it set before.
The photo above reminded me of a Sunset which kind of reflects on my manicure for today :)

Day Twenty-Nine: Inspired by the Supernatural
I've been looking forward to today's challenge! I'm not much of a supernatural girl... in fact, I'm quite opposite, almost anything supernatural scares me, Zombies on Minecraft? Dig a hole and wait for daylight to come. There is one ghost that I am very fond of, King Boo from the Mario series. He's so uber cute and the sound he makes when he's up to something mischievous makes me giggle inside as if I know what he's up to.
King Boo
As the years gone by, he's became less of an evil villain and more of a cheeky prankster who is always up to no good, I love him so much, haha. (For those who have asked me why I never show my thumb - it looks weird in photos but also I have a short thumb compared to the rest of my already short fingers and so it's rarely noticed therefore I just paint it plainly where someone else would put most of their nail art on it. Anyways, photo just for them!)

Day Twenty-Six: Inspired by a Pattern
Today's challenge is quite vague - I had no idea what I wanted to do since there is a lot of "Patterns" in the world since patterns just means anything that repeats and/or occur frequently. I decided to do my "google, close my eyes and point to one" option. When I opened my eyes, I saw a very cute floral pattern that belonged to a website design help site with a list of free seamless backgrounds.
Isn't that just cute and prefect for spring? (Even though it's going to be fall here soon, haha).
Here's my attempt on this floral pattern!

Day Twenty-Five: Inspired by Fashion
Today's nails are inspired by Nicki Minaj's tights from the Victoria Secret runway where Orlando Bloom proudly cheered for his wife, Miranda Kerr. Nicki Minaj is very famous for her quirky outfits but this one stood out the most for me.. it's soo bold and brightly coloured.

I didn't notice that there was a contest that is being held by O.P.I for the release of the Nicki Minaj Collection when I was painting until I started seeing a huge hoard of them being posted on everyone's blog. You can look at the entries here and I'm so sorry that this is another Nicki inspired manicure - I bet you're sick of seeing them!

Day Twenty-Two: Inspired by a Song
There is one person that always makes me happy again after listening to his happy, energetic but abstract songs - Adam Randall from Owl City. I am seriously a HUGE fan of his. I picked one of his top hits and it luckily did not have a too much of a weird but cute name *coughStrawberry Avalanchecough*.
Fireflies.
... and inspired by these lines:
"'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance"
and
"A disco ball is just hanging by a thread"
AND these photos of Japanese fireflies

Day Three : Yellow Nails
When I think of yellow... I think of golden glitters and my favourite shape in the entire world. Stars.
Unfortunately, what I intended to do in my head did not have the same outcome on my nails because... I'm a horrible stamper, hahaa. Either way, it still looks pretty fun and and we can pretend those fail golden stars are meant to be gold leaves, lol.
