First, if you haven't checked out Polished Plumage on Instagram, please do! This was a great idea that she's shared with a group of awesome fellow nail polish lovers, including myself. Each month has a different color theme using a unique hashtag along with #ayearincolor, and it's been fun so far! See the original post with monthly colors listed here.
January became known as #whitejanuary.
The first one was actually part of a mani swap with egyptianmani! I really enjoyed this one.
And the swap collage :-)
This was my first Pats mani for the NFL playoffs, also white for January!
This one may not be *exactly* white, but oh well! I went to a Wings game, and this was my mani!
February was blue, hence, #bluefebruary.
My second Pats mani
Blue Valentine's Day mani!
Vapid Lacquer Aphrodite
The (oh-so-fitting) color for March was green! And #greenmarch was born!
St. Patrick's Day nails...aaaand, a little bit of my cat. :-)
April brought out all the nudes...#nudeapril
This one was part of a collage a few ladies did in support of a fellow polish lover
The full collage:
Easter Nails! I used lots of Moonflower Polishes on this one.
May wrapped up spring pretty well with #yellowmay, but...I didn't...
I painted...I planned...I broke. *sad*
And the last of the first six months, #violetjune. PURPLE!!! My fave! (It may actually rival #greenmarch in the number of times I painted!)
Some ladies got together for another support mani, and it was beautiful, purpley, love and gorgeousness!
The full collage
Another mani swap mani, this time with dancingshimmers!
The collage
You can also see all of the #ayearincolor posts here! I realize this isn't limited to nails, but it has definitely been enjoyable to me to see all of the different takes. :-) It's not too late to join! We're only about half way through July now, so there's plenty of time to chime in with your mani pics!
