MMC - 30 Seconds to Mars Inspired Music Nails

Happy Labor Day to my American readers! I am back from my mini road trip/vacation to Denver, CO. I had such a great time, I really do love that city. The bf and I finally had the opportunity to tour the New Belgium brewery in Ft. Collins. I think that was the highlight of my trip, I love beer!

I'm finally getting around to posting last weeks Mish Mash challenge theme music. The first thing that popped into my head when I thought of music were CD's. I've recently been purchasing the actual CD instead of buying the album on iTunes. I think I like the idea of something tangible that I can hold. So I went to my stack of CD cases and the first one on top was the winner. This is my 30 Seconds to Mars inspired cover art mani.

I love 30 Seconds to Mars and loved their new album Love Lust Faith + Dreams. The cover art on this CD is colorful and catches the eye. They used a huge backdrop with the same print in their Up In the Air video and I just remember thinking PRETTY! I love dotticures because of how easy they are and since I was having a busy week last week I thought it was a perfect idea.

I used WnW A Blank Canvas for my base and about 18 different nail polish bottles in various brands and colors for my dots. I was really happy with my results, it turned out exactly how I envisioned it. Its a great feeling when you love your results.

Don't forget to check out the other ladies below and have a great week!

ABC Challenge - D is for Did It On 'Em

Hello There! I hope everyone is having a good week! It’s been freezing here in Utah and has been snowing for the better part of 2 weeks now. I can’t wait til we get some heat around here!

For the ABC Challenge today, I have something that I thought was pretty awesome. D is for Did It On ‘Em by OPI. This color is a bright greenish-yellow creme from the Nicki Minaj collection last year. I didn't like the color by its self so I decided to add some “Dots” because its D week! J For my dots, I used Zoya Storm, which I am IN LOVE WITH. I just got this Zoya polish with the Color Your World promo they did earlier this month and I can’t wait to try it out some more. Stay warm ladies and have a great day!

DOTS!

Happy NYE! I can't believe it's the last day of 2012! I have no idea where the time has gone but I'm excited to see what the new year will bring. Today I have a super simple but fun manicure I did on Christmas Eve, obviously I have been procrastinating on posting :)

For my base I used American Apparel in NEON Violet. This was my first time using American Apparel polish and I really love it! The polish went on even in just one coat and had great coverage. For my dots, I used a collection of Sally Hansen Nail Art Pens in 5 different colors that I got from my bestie for my birthday. They were so fun to use, I have a feeling I'm going to buy some more.

 

Have a safe New Years!
