I was immediately thrilled to participate and I actually went to work right away trying to create manicures for the 8 themes. Unfortunately I lost my camera's USB cord so I could not upload, which meant I couldn't pre-plan the posts despite the preparation I put in:-\ Anyway...I found my camera's USB cord on Sunday. Therefore I am a little late to the party, but I will continue to add 2 posts per week that follow the themes.
Here's a little catching up...
Day 1: GRILL MASTER
I took this literally. I was not crazy about putting meat or veggies on my nails, it kind of weirded me out. I decided to create a grill on my fingernails. I really loved this. I used a base of Sinful Colors Black on Black then I carefully sponged Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby and Dr. Remedy Tranquil Tangerine to create flames. This glowed, a lot! For the grate I used Barielle Granite Glitter and a nail art brush.
Because I was too late to the party & unable to add my link, check out the other Grill Master inspired nails here or here:
Day 2: Summer Lovin'
All I could think of is Grease. I was stuck & without ideas. So I recalled one of my favorite summers, the summer my husband proposed. We were at the beach (but I really didn't want to do beach nails) and there were beautiful clear skies all week. My father-in-law was really sweet to take pictures of the whole thing from a distance (so I wouldn't know it was happening, so I wouldn't get frazzled, etc.). So this was my inspiration. I used Essie Barefoot in Blue for the background then I sponged Zoya Purity to make clouds (and a heart-shaped cloud too!). The rest of the details (including polaroid style pictures & silhouettes) were created using Zoya Purity, Sinful Colors Black on Black, and Barielle Granite Glitter. I'm not thrilled about how this turned out, but my other attempt at a Summer Lovin' manicure was worse.
Check out the other Summer Lovin' manicures here or below.
I Like the first manicure a lot :)
