#31DC2015: Violet aka OH MY GLOB!

Haaaa! It's still Sunday in South Africa so I can still post my violet nails! Talk about nailing it! Let's jump straight into it shall we?

#31DC2015: Violet

So I am a huuuuge Adventure Time fan! Yes I'm an "adult", yes it is a cartoon and yes I am turning 26 in a couple weeks but you know what? I don't care! I will always embrace my inner child. So in honor of that, I give you one of my favorite Adventure Time characters...Lumpy Space Princess.

I started out with 2 coats of OPI Grape...Set...Match on all my nails. On my ring and index finger I stuck on star studs that I painted with Tip Top Nail Chic Sun Kissed and then I top coated them with Seche Vite Top Coat...BIG MISTAKE by the way. Now my stars look all lumpy and melted but anyhoo! For my ring finger I painted the word with my striping brush and Essence Love Is In The Air. Lastly on my middle finger I painted on my favorite princess using a nail art brush, Essence Love Is In The Air, WOW Nail Polish #393 and Morgan Taylor Invitation Only.

Like I said, I am soooo bummed I topcoated my ring and index finger. The studs would've been perfectly fine but yes, I had a "moment". Anyhoo, enjoy the last few hours of Sunday!

Lots of mad love...

#31DC2014 - Day 7: Black & White Nails aka Adventure Time, Come on bring your...Gunter?

Hi lovelies! Heck, it is a stunning STUNNING day outside. Spring has definitely sprung with a little extra heat but that’s okay! Winter has apparently left the building! *crowd applauds*

Day 7: Black & White Nails

I’ll be honest, this prompt didn’t bring tons of inspiration to me because everything I wanted to do felt like I was copying someone else. One thing I definitely knew though was that I had to do an Adventure Time mani somewhere along the line of this challenge and what more perfect opportunity to bring in one of my favourite characters? I give you the I-love-breaking-bottles quirky cute Gunter the penguin.

I started by laying down 2 coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White on all my nails except for my pinky. On my pinky I layed down a coat of WOW Nail Polish #393. I then stamped some shattered glass over my pinky and index finger using Bundle Monster plate BM-208, Sinful Colors Snow Me White and WOW Nail Polish #393. On my ring finger I wrote in the sound that Gunter makes with a thin nail art brush (and a very steady hand!). Finally, on my middle finger I made Gunters body and face using a thin nail art brush and  WOW Nail Polish #393. For the beak I used Tip Top Nail Chic Sun Kissed.

Aaaaah, I am so chuffed with how this came out! I just want to paint little Gunter’s on everything! Sure, my stamping isn’t perfect but personally I think everything came very nicely together. And I finally did an Adventure Time mani! Happy warm fuzzy FEEEELS!

Wenk wenk...
