31 Day challenge, Day 5. Blue!


I love blue! I usually say green is my fav color but I think blue actually is. I love all shades of blue and one of my most favorite spaceships is blue. The T.A.R.D.I.S.! So, since I can't get nerdlacquer's I Think You Call Me...Sexy, I made my own Tardis blue. I call it Bigger On The Inside. Here ya go!

(P.S. I am not currently wearing it, I made it while I still had luxurious long nails. boo)



I decided to bling it up a little with Icing- Call Me Glitzy!
Like I said, I love blue!  This polish came out better than I ever hoped. Three easy coats(really it's opaque in two) super easy clean up and the shimmer is to die for. I didn't even want to put the glitter on top cuz I just liked looking at it so much! My favorite blue.

Happy Manicures!

Disney Hero!






Today we have The Disney Hero.  If you remember, I grabbed the villains from The Emperor's New Groove, so now here are the heroes to save the day. 

Emperor Kuzko is a selfish, arrogant, horrible leader of an ancient Inca society. He is turned into a llama by Yzma(the villain from last week) and ends up relying on Pacha for help.  Pacha is a good honest villager who raises llamas and alpacas.  He helps Kuzko back to the palace and back into a human body.  He also helps Kuzko become a better human being and a wonderful leader.  The nail designs are (thumb to pinky)the steamed pill bug for the happy couple, Kuzko's crown, tribal designs from the cover of the movie, Pacha's Village, and Pacha's Poncho. I really like the pill bug and the village. 




Yay! Look at the hot steamy pill bug! I Love it.  Well, that's it for me today. Next week I am super excited for the end of this challenge so I can do the ultimate hero and villain.

Happy Manicures!

Disney Villain!



Week 3, Disney!  I was originally thinking princesses and evil witches/queens/stepmothers, but really that's just conditional thinking from my lovely Sweetpea.  I finally started thinking outside the box and came up with my favorite disney movie ever...

Emperor's New Groove!!!

I love that movie! It is so hilarious and the good guy is kind of a minor character.  The bad guys don't die or get banished, one is turned into a kitten and the other becomes a scout leader. The main character is like an antihero.

So, for the villains we have Yzma and Kronk.  Yzma is the real bad guy(gal), Kronk is her henchman and doesn't really realize that he's with a bad guy. For my nails I did (from thumb to pinky): Yzma's Cape thingy, A tribal design in yzma's colors, The label on the extract of Llama, Kronk's uniform, and The hammer from Yzma's fantasy.

Favorite quote from these characters:
"I know, I'll turn him into a flea, a harmless little flea. Then I'll put him in a box and put that box inside another box and I'll mail that box to myself.  And when it arrives, HA HA HA, I'LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!!" LOL

OK, here are the pics:



I love the llama label.  I'm going to do a whole mani with animal silhouettes.

On thursday the heroes come to save the day!

Happy Manicures!

X-Men Heroes!

I am overwhelmed by how much you guys liked the last post.  Thank you so much for your comments! This challenge is so much fun! So, today we did the heroes to come in and save the day! Since my last was X-Men villains obviously I wanted to do the X-Men heroes today.  I went for the aesthetically pleasing Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine.  I am very pleased with how this turned out, in fact I took off all but storm and painted the rest of my nails like that.  The lightning bolt makes me happy.  Now, without further ado:







I loved this one!  I am also really happy to have it done on time.  I also want to thank my wonderful Fiance` Dingus for his amazing help on these manis.  He came up with the gambit one.  (That one is my second favorite.)  I am just giddy right now, this is so much fun!

Happy Manicures!
