In the Fashion

Hey, lovelies!

Today's post features a mani that I did to match one of my favorite dresses.  I really love the challenge of creating a design that mimics/matches an outfit I'm wearing...

 Colors Used: Zoya - Yara, OPI - "It" Color, Julep - Denver, Sally Hansen - White On

If I was smart, I'd take a pic of the dress to go along with this post.  Alas, I am not that smart (translate that into "I'm lazy").  Just trust that it matched my outfit well lol. I started with 2 coats of Yara as my base, an olive-green creme with gold glitter bits...

 

 I then took a medium sized dotting tool and did 2 rows at a time, first dotting then flipping it around to the pointy-end and dragging.  It was actually a pretty quick and easy design :)  I topped it with OPI RapiDry.

 Yay fashion!

Has anyone else attempted recreating the textile of their outfit on their nails?  Love it, hate it??

Until next time!

Recreate Your Favorite

Hello, dolls!

So I'm almost positive that it's still May somewhere right now.  At least for the next hour?  Well I'm just going to go with my delusions lol.  This is my final mani for the Hobby Polish Blogger challenge.  We were supposed to recreate our favorite and I decided I'd take a stab at The Bubbly Brunette's fashion inspired mani :)

 Colors Used: Rimmel - Black Satin, OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls

I really, really love this look.  I loved the nail art Madame Brunette did originally and it was my first choice for recreation.  When I finally took a look at all of the other ladies fabulous mani's, this one just kept popping out at me.  I couldn't resist!

I did 2 coats of Black Satin as my base color.  I then used a double-sided dotting tool for the design.  I love love love it!  You should check out the fierce Prada fashion that inspired this....

Two cheers for fashion!

I really enjoyed doing this challenge along with getting to know some wonderfully fantastic bloggers :D  There will be another Hobby Polish Blogger sponsored challenge for the months of June and July.  Best believe I'll be participating!

Until next time!

Inspired By Fashion

Hey there!

I'm super duper excited about today's post!  I am starting my Hobby Polish Bloggers challenge for the month of May.  Yay!!  I am especially excited because I have decided to do these in order which means fashion comes first :) 

 I am so very much in love with the show Mad Men and Joan Holloway (played by the lovely Christina Hendricks) is my favorite character.  She's sassy and her outfits are to die for!

 Colors Used: Love & Beauty - Cobalt, China Glaze - Hey Sailor, Sally Hansen - White On

I started with 2 coats of Cobalt and then used my striping brush to paint on the square and outline.  I could have taped them off for straighter line but... I really have not patience for dry time!  I've had to force myself to take pictures right after I'm done painting on the off chance that I might smudge my nails from impatience lol.

I top coated it and called it a night :)

I can't wait to see what the other ladies have in store!  I'm planning on completing this challenge these first 2 weeks in May so that there wont be any conflicts/confusion with my other May challenge.  I've got lots of brain-storming to do lol...

Until next time!
