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!

 I used:

Pure Ice Magic Base Coat

Stripe Rite Neon Pink

Clair's White and Black Nail Art Pens

Born Pretty Rhinepebbles

Clair's Rhinepebbles

Maybelline Onyx Rush

Dallas, Jessica, Laura, and I before prom :)

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish!

I recently read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and absolutely loved it, I can't wait to read the next one. So I knew that I definitely wanted to do nails based on it's sic-fi amazingness.

Arthur Dent perfectly embodies To Boldly Go... even if he didn't really have a choice in the matter. At least he has a towel. The look I was going for was stars with 42 and the Hitchhiker's logo, but it looks more like polkadots. Oh well. 

I used:

Maybelline Onyx Rush

Pure Ice Platinum Magic Base Coat

Blick Acrylic Paint

L-O-V-E

Super big apologies for this post coming at you so late! I had a crazy weekend, food poisoning, car breaking down on the side of the road, ai yi. Anyways I'm here now! For the stop in Paris I was inspired by the Le Mur des Je t'aime, or the Love Wall. This wall has "I love you" written in over 300 languages. If this place isn't romanic, I don't know what is.

I only used acrylic paint for this look, I didn't have the right shade of blue polish, and I had all of my acrylic out but no polish so I just went with it.

I thought this song was a nice addition :)

Cherry Blossoms

"See the cherry blossoms in China" is waaay up on my bucket list. They're absolutly gorgeous and I wish I could have them here in America. Well, my plum tree out front has little blossoms, but it's still shorter than me after about seven years of being there. It doesn't really count.

I used:

Essie In the Cab-ana

Essie Tart Deco

Julep Clara

Clair's Black Striper

Swords and Shields

Anybody here watch Merlin? I just finished the series, and I'm missing it sooo much already. So it was easy to come up with a medieval look, based on all the shields that the knights use.

I used:

Sally Hansen Sliver Sweep

Sally Hansen Co-balt Blue

Maybelline Bold

NYC Chelsea

Sally Hansen Pronto Purple

Venique Rolling Tides

Ciutat Comtal

 So when I googled 'barcelona fashion' there was a lot of topless women. I mean A LOT. I was quite shocked. Amongst all that I found a nice color blocked look which you can see below, third photo from the left.

I rather like the gray/pink combination, something dull with a zap. I applied this look just using the brush from the bottle, I didn't want to deal with tape/brushes/dotting tools today.

I used:

NYC Sidewalkers
