Artsy Wednesday: Inspired by Animation, Adventure Time Nails!

Adventure time! C'mon grab your friends, we'll go to very distant lands. With Jake the Dog, all over my nails, the fun it never ends, Adventure Time!

Using Pretty n' Polished "I'm Not a Banana" and Zoya's Creamy, I was able to create the perfect Jake the Dog manicure. I'm pretty proud of how this turned out, it's so cute!

Artsy Wednesday: Two Colors

NEONNNN!

I chose neon yellow (China Glaze Celtic Sun), and a neon pink (Zoya Ali), to create a yellow and neon orange (yay color theory!) saran wrap manicure! I love this for summer, and it goes nicely with my new Curlformer curlers (which I purchased with my own money).

NEON!

Artsy Wednesday: Inspired by Graffiti

I knew I wasn't going to be able to really emulate graffiti with this manicure; I've never been that good at sharp outlines, so I wanted to take the "inspired by" of this week's theme and run with it.

I was fortunate enough to win a set of MASH nail art brushes from a giveaway Set in Lacquer ran, and I wanted to give the fan brush a shot, to add artistic strokes of bright colors to my nails.

I used Julep's Eileen as a base, and the It Girl April colors, Eden, Abbie and Mackenzie as the bright bright bright graffiti stripes. The white base really made these colors pop, and the manicure kind of reminds me of fruit stripe gum.

I'm really honored to be able to participate in Artsy Wednesday, and you should all DEFINITELY check out these other, very talented Artsy Wednesday participants.

Artsy Wednesday: Easter!

Easter has the best candy of any holiday.

That has nothing to do with today's manicure, chicks in Easter grass. I've thought a few times that Zoya's Pixiedust shade Vespa was a pretty perfect Easter grass shade, and Creamy is the perfect baby chick yellow. By their powers combined (plus some Angelina and Pia for eyes and beaks), we have chicks in Easter Grass!

Little cuties :)
