Harry Potter Flag Nails

Hey Everyone!!!

In yesterday's post I mentioned Harry Potter flag nails. I really wanted to do these on my own nails, but I thought it would be a waste to take them off or have them chip. I painted the different house flags of Hogwarts on each nail.

I used this picture for the flags!

Here are some pictures of the nail wheel!

I hope you like it! If you want to know any colors used let me know :)

Day 28 - Inspired by a FLAG

School has been crazy these past few weeks. Exams are starting which totally sucks the life out of me. I am hoping to finish up with my challenge posts before the end of the month. Woah, dream big!

For today's post I really wanted to do Harry Potter flags, but I couldn't bear to put them on my nails only to have them chip. So I did them on a nail wheel and I'll post those later!

For the challenge though, I decided on Argentina's flag. It's a simple white and sky blue striped flag with a sun in the center.

I didn't really do the sun justice, but I did my best!

I used China Glaze Sea Spray for my base and China Glaze White On White for the stripe. For the sun I used Orly Spark.

I hope you like!

Day 27 - Inspired by ARTWORK

Hi!

For today's manicure I was seriously hung up on doing something wild like Van Gogh's Starry Night or a famous Picasso painting, but instead I went into an entirely different direction.

I still plan on painting Starry Night in the future, but I figure that would take too much time for me to do it justice.

So I went with an untitled painting by Atsuko Tanaka.

It isn't something I would usually look at and think it would look nice on my nails. But I went with it anyway.

I don't know what to think of this mani. I'm just not sure if the painting really translates well into nail art. I'm constantly looking at everyday objects and being like wow that would look so cool on my nails. haha I can't be the only one that does this... I used China Glaze White On White and China Glaze Liquid Leather.

Day 26 - Inspired by a PATTERN

Hi Everyone!

Here is the mani for inspired by a pattern. I wasn't inspired by a particular print but I decided to use my new stamping plates I bought from BornPrettyStore! I love all of my plates and this company!!

I ended up using a lighter color on the paisley stamp and it was a little faded so I just traced over with the blue stripe rite. 

Weee! I'm almost done!! How exciting :)

Day 25 - Inspired by FASHION

After looking through Spring runway collections, I decided to go with a piece from Dior. 

I used a base color of China Glaze Sea Spray and then added different color blocks using Scherer Chameleon in Dreams, Galactic, Blue Frost. For the black squares I used a black Color Club nail art and Deborah Lippmann Edge of Glory flakey polish. :)

Day 24 - Inspired by a BOOK

You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes

You can steer yourself

any direction you choose.

You're on your own. And you know what you know.

And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

- Dr. Suess

Oh, the Places You'll Go!

I love this book.

 I based my designs off the following photos:

Going along with this theme, here is a picture of the world map! My roommates and I are deciding where we want to travel and places we've already been. 

We just bought it yesterday, so we aren't even close to noting all the places we've been. This whole map is going to be filled with places we want to go. 

As some of you may know, this challenge has "officially" ended, but I fell behind. I'll be tweeting when the new posts are up, so be sure to follow me! @nailpolishrehab
