Let's do the TIME WARP again!
This challenge was basically to recreate a manicure of another participant. This was such a difficult challenge. The manicures were all so amazing and well executed that I was intimidated to recreate any of them. However, when I saw the manicure created for Day 4 (Lights, Camera, Action!) by The Polished Squirrel I new that this was the one I wanted to attempt. Stephanie was inspired by the classic fairy tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses. Here is her incredible manicure & a bit of the story if you're unfamiliar with it.The version I grew up with was slightly different from the one Stephanie recounts. The book I remember is this one:
I always loved the story, but the illustrations in this particular book were to die for. They were so stunning. The story I remember is different from the one Stephanie told in that the soldier in her story was a gardener in the above tale AND in the one above the princesses were under a curse. To solve the mystery, the gardener was given a magical golden flower to put into his lapel that made him invisible unlike the cloak of the soldier. Due to these differences, I changed the manicure ever so slightly to include the flower instead of the cloak. Below are the trees of the silver, gold, and diamond forests with the magical flower on my pinkie.
Polishes used: SinfulColors Black on Black, Barielle Granite Glitter, Barielle Gold Digger, China Glaze Champagne Bubbles, NfuOh 61, Barielle Green Opal, OPI Stranger Tides, and marquis rhinestones

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThanks so much for using my mani as inspiration! You did an amazing job!!! While I was doing mine, I actually thought it would look awesome if I had leaf-shaped rhinestones, so I'm glad I finally got to see it this way! :)
