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.

ReplyDeleteP.S. I can't not get my fingers, either. I just use an eyeliner brush dipped in acetone to clean it up :)
