31 Day Nail Challenge Day 23: Inspired by a movie

Good Afternoon!  Today's challenge was to do nails inspired by a movie.  I decided to do Madagascar because I love the penguins in that movie and I'd been wanting to do penguin nails for awhile!  I like these penguin nails because while *most* penguin manicures feature cute little penguins, this one features criminal masterminds who are clearly up to no good.  This was a lot of fun to do.  I used Sephora by OPI Never Enough Shoes for the base color, then acrylic paint for the penguin face and beak.  I used the Never Enough Shoes for the eyes and black Stripe Rite for the eyebrows.  I love it and can't wait to see what the other participants come up with!  Check them out over at Painting Outside the Line's Facebook page.

31 Day Nail Challenge Day 9: Rainbow Nails

Hello!  Today is day 9 of the 31 day challenge, rainbow nails!  For this I decided to try my hand at freehanding with some acrylic paint.  Orly Rage is the base color, acrylic paint on top, then Out the Door holographic top coat.  My hand wasn't super steady for the rainbow, but I like it.  I went to Michaels to get the acrylic paint and wound up with a whole bunch of fun stuff to try out on my nails!  I especially can't wait for what I have planned for day 24: Inspired by a Book.  For now here is Day 9!

Looking at it on the computer screen now, I think the holographic top coat looks like bubbles in the paint instead of making the rainbow look shimmery.  Whoops.

9 Days down 22 to go!!
