Happy Hump Day!
Today's challenge is Stripes and I pulled my inspiration from this beautiful modern quilt seen here on flickr (Copyrighted, so I'm not going to steal the pic. Just go check out its loveliness, please.). I just loved it and knew that I wanted to try to recreate those funky stripes.
I used China Glaze White on White, Essie Power Clutch, and China Glaze Towel Boy Toy for my funky modern stripes. It was kind of fun because all I had to do was cut up some tape in crooked (but straight) lines, apply, and paint. YAY! My lines bled a little because I put the top coat on before my stripes were completely dry, but I love how it turned out.
Hope you enjoy!

Keep Calm and Paint Your Nails
Ten fingers and ten toes: just a playground to paint, play, and polish every night or whenever I feel bored. Welcome to the place where I can showcase this teensy obsession of mine.
I'm no fancy schmancy nail artist nor am I hoarding over 100 bottles of nail polish (yet). I am just a lady who likes to paint her nails and get a little funky with it (or as funky as I can get away with).
Currently, I own 60+ bottles of polish all kept in sturdy shoe box. I remember when I bought all of them and for what occassion, a gift of memory that I got from my Momma. As if that much polish weren't enough, I plan to expand my collection soon (don't tell my husband).
Here are some of my previous endeavors (and please excuse the poor quality of picture produced by my measley little cell phone):
Now, that's just me dabbling in nail art. Nothing fantastico. My real passion is finding that beautiful color, and currently I'm on the hunt for the perfect neon, nude, and top coat. I also love the attention I catch with my snazzy nails - it's just a bonus.
Until the next polish bottle opens...
