Time Warp Challenge: Let's Do The Time Warp Again!

This is my last post of the time warp challenge. I've had a great time, and tried lots of new things. But I'll be glad to go back to manicures that are simple and match my outfit, instead of trying to figure out what to wear to match my manicure!
This last challenge was to pick on the the manicures the other contestants did, and to do our take on it.
I chose to do The Polish Squirrel's "Lights, Camera, Action!" mani, which was based on the fairy tale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses.
 For those of you who know me, you know that I'm a fairy tale junkie, and even spent a summer cataloging as many different fairy tales from all over the world that I could find.
This fairy tale is about twelve princesses under an enchantment that forces them to dance in a dangerous underground kingdom each night until their slippers wear out. There father is desperate to find out why his cobbler bills are so high, and offers the hand of any of his daughters to the man who can figure it out. After many failed attempts, and army man comes, and through cleverness, and a magical invisibility cloak, solves the mystery. Each night he follows the princesses and steals a branch to prove his finds. The first night, a silver branch, the second, a gold, the third, a diamond branch.

So I HAD to do this mani.
Plus it was super cute.
The biggest difference between my mani and The Polish Squirrel's ( besides her having neater edges...I can never NOT get my fingers!) is that her branches go from tip to nail bed, and mine go from nail bed to tip.

I did a black background with Wet N' Wild Black Creme, and used Wet'N Wild chrome gold, and metalics silver for my index and middle finger, Sally Hanson Chrome for the ringer finger and some rhinestones,  and then more glitter and top coat.

Sparkly!!

I Remember when..

So, over all, not bad, and I think they look pretty great if I'm not sitting
here judging them. :D

First stop: Nail Blog

Rose Trellis. A rose design on pale mint. Perfect for Spring or Early Summer.

This is my brand spanking new nail blog. I follow so many, and am more than a little obsessed my nail polish, so I figured I might as well take pictures and write about it, instead of boring my male co-workers with talk about it. They call nail polish my "crack." I have so much nail polish it doesn't fit into one bag anymore. I need to get one of those organizers thingies for it.

Neon Sunset. Bright, bold stripes that make me feel like I'm on vacation when I'm working.

I'm not the most original nail blogger, but I've certainly got lots of enthusiasm. I have super short nails, as I'm a working violinist, and have to keep my nails short. but that has never stopped my love of fantastical polishes!
Hopefully my skills will progress along with this blog.
My next post will be on Sunday, where I will show my recent nail polish haul, and do a few reviews.

Hugs and kisses,
Suz
