Why am I Such a Misfit?

I find that spirit week sometimes inspires some great, and odd nail art. Today was based on the Island of Misfit Toys, and the criteria was to just be mismatched. I took this quite to heart, and my dad this morning (not knowing it was spirit week) thought I had gone off my rocker!

I used:

Maybelline Onyx Rush

Pure Ice Platinum Basecoat

NYC Sidewalkers

Essie We're in it Together

Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac

Julep Clara

Julep Coco

Revlon Infamous

Stripe Rite Green, Pink, and Yellow

I pretty much just included designs from all the elements in my outfit. This post taught me that I need to figure out another way to take ootd pics without my brother, since all of his turned out blurry. So became the weird leg-selfies. If you want to see my doll make-up you can check it out on my Instagram, @haleighbug333. I only took a picture of that right before washing it off sadly, so it's a little smeared. Expect more spirit filled nails from me this week!

Oh! I included a video of the misfit toys themselves in case you also had the song stuck in your head :)

You Are My Tuxedo, and I'm Your Bow-tie

These nails were made for Nailed It's 3D nail art contest, and inspired by Cher Lloyd's song Oath.

This song always reminds me of my best friend (or bist fed as we call each other) Laura. I've known her since 7th grade so thaaat's five years now! She's been with me through my wild endeavors and I've made it through (most) of her crazy ideas unscathed. I dunno if it's common practice to dedicate nail art to somebody, but these were definitely done with her in mind!

Line Games

So I'm waaay behind on the 7 Deadly Sins Challenge (thanks AP), but I still want to complete each prompt, even if I can't put it into the inlinkz. So here is part two of Lust!

This manicure called for "letting your body talk". Usually my body "talking" means it's lunch time, so I decided that it's meant to mean to just go with whatever strikes your fancy. I picked the purple since it's my best friend's favorite color and Cher Lloyd's song Oath was playing, the black striper was sitting on my desk so I just went with that, then I thought, "Glitter makes pretty much everything awesome," so that happened too. I rather like the result, I should do stuff randomly more often.

I used:

Sally Hansen Lacy Lilac

Clair's Black Striper

Stripe Rite Silver Glitter Striper

Oh yeah, how has your guy's Mothers Day gone? My Mom had to work today so we're celebrating tonight when she gets home. My brother and I made a wine bottle candle for her. We used the string/acetone/fire/ice water method to cut the bottle, and I double boiled old candles for the wax. The results were quite awesome, and we didn't maim ourselves/set anything on fire. Yeah science!

Serendipity

Hello lovlies! Today I'm going to a friend's birthday party, which is being held at Serendipity 3. To my understanding its like a fancy ice cream parlor.

I do know for a fact though that we are getting this:

It's called the treasure chest, and it's every single ice cream/ dessert packed into an edible chocolate chest. I think I will have a sugar high for the rest of my life.

I decided to frostify my nails for the occasion. Starting from my thumb are the flavors; strawberry, chocolate with raspberry syrup and whip cream, vanilla with sprinkles, mint chocolate chip (my favorite!), and vanilla with chocolate syrup and a cherry on top.

I used:

Maybelline Green With Envy

Revlon Red

Revlon Posh

Clair's White, Pink, Blue, Black, and Green Nail Art Pens

You are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine

Hey everybody! I know I've been sketchy with posts lately but I'm trying to catch up! This month's Polish days theme is Getting Back to Nature, kinda like what the weather has been stuff. Vegas has had mostly sunny skies with a few clouds, and the temperature is picking up so thats nice too. ^-^

I really love this look, its happy and sunny, pun intended xD.

I used:

So how's the weather in your part of the world girls?

Henri Matisse- La Gerbe

For day 27 the challenge calls for nails inspired by a piece of artwork. For an art student this was very hard, I've seen at least a thousand pieces that could work in the past three years. I decided to go with one that I had seen in person at the LACMA, Henri Matisse's La Gerbe.

It was made in 1953 and is ceramic and ceramic imbedded in plaster. This thing is huge, it weighs 2,000 lbs. You can check out more pictures of it, history, and information of the piece here.

Kelsie's Nail Files Contest Entry

I'm so excited for this, this is my first nail art contest ever! ^-^ Kelsie at Kelsie's Nail Files is having a contest for her one year blogiversary, and the challenge is to create a look based on something from her Pintrest board. Here's the inspiration I chose:

And here's the nail art:

I REALLY love those shorts. I think I will need to make them this summer. For the jean part of the nails I used a tutorial from Glamour.

Ironically I have a purse that matches too, now I just really need those shorts!

Galaxy Loophole

Today's challenge theme in galaxies, but nobody necessarily said I HAD to do the stuff up in the sky. So I found a loophole, the Samsung Galaxy phone. You can call me a cheater, but I prefer to think of it as strategic planning.

I copied all of the widgets at the bottom of the phone, the telephone, contacts, messaging, and internet. I like how this turned out, I think i'm getting better at free-handing stuff.

Bringing in the Newyear

Happy New Years Eve everybody! Are you going to a party tonight? Staying in with family? Stocking up on your own fireworks? Whatever you're doing I hope your nails are fabulously festive as well! I myself am going to a local dance with my friend Alyssa, and I still have yet to pick out an outfit. At least I have my nails covered! ^-^

Fireworks! I love how these turned out, usually I have a really hard time replicating fireworks. With the new year coming up, do you guys have any resolutions? I usually don't do them, by telling myself its something I HAVE to do it then usually never gets done. But, this year I do have one that I will be able to stick to. Throughout the year 2013 whenever something good happens I'm going to write it down and put in in a jar, so at the end of the year I can open it up and see all of the cool stuff thats happened :).

I used:

Sally Hansen Black Out

Stripe Rite Yellow

Stripe Rite Hot Pink

Clair's Neon Green Nail Art Pen

Have a safe and happy New Year!
