Day 31 #31DC2014: Honor Nails You <3
Nails that i have always admired were the absolutely outrageous, too much bling, how-can-you-wipe-your-ass nails. However impractical, the creativity behind it is what I have always admired. I did some research to get a good idea of what the general set up looks like as far as arranging the pearls and rhinestones and other acrylic decorations. I knew that I couldn't actually create the acrylic accessories, so I paid a visit to Sally's and picked up a few packages of stick on flowers. I also picked up some large rhinestones and pearls from Hobby Lobby. They only had super large pearls in the packets, so I just bought those scrapbook stick on pearl letters and peeled the pearls off the glue strip. (haha ghetto, I know but you couldn't tell the difference!)
I kept my background neutral with my go-to OPI Bubble Bath and sponged on some gold nail polish. Pretty sure it was Goldeneye by OPI and Mariah Carey's Pure 18k gold topcoat (thanks clearance at Ulta!)
After this, I simply placed my bigger flowers and pearls on first, then started to fill in with smaller items until it formed the shape I wanted on the nail. After I was done, I just made sure to add plenty of shiny topcoat over the entire nail.
I only wore these for a day, but they actually weren't really too bad. The only thing I really had to get used to was the weight of it all! They didn't get snagged and I didn't have any problems in the restroom...*cough* if you catch my drift *cough*
Enough talking, let's get to the photossssssss
