Day 22 - Inspired by a SONG

For today's post, I honestly had no idea what song to pick. I had no clue. Until I looked at my desk and realized the perfect song. Like the true college student that I am, I have a solo cup near at all times. So then I thought of Toby Keith's Red Solo Cup. LOL. This song is so ridiculous. Kind of like my nails.

So here is today's manicure! And by today, I mean this should have been posted yesterday.




Down at the bottom you can watch Red Solo Cup if you have not yet heard the song, and also there is a picture of where I originally saw the beer pong outline. 



Polishes Used: For my thumb nail, I used Sinful Colors Black on Black and ULTA Non-Stop Red for the lettering. For my pointer, middle and ring fingers I used Non-Stop Red, ULTA Blue Streak, and a white acrylic paint for the person and pong ball. For my pinky finger I used a Color Club red nail art and Sally Hansen Wet Cement for the base color.

Day 9 - Rainbow Nails; USE ALL THE COLORS!

Day 9 - Rainbow Nails

Today is rainbow nails! What better way to show off my inner 90's kid than with Lisa Frank inspired nails. If you don't know who Lisa Frank is then you have not lived.

Obviously a fashion icon. 
That is what it looks like when you throw up rainbows. Lisa was ahead of her time. Little did she know we would all be copying her rainbow gradient with animal print 20 years later. Looking through the shop confirmed how timeless Lisa Frank really is. She's been selling the same exact stuff, for what, 30 years and kids eat this up like its a brand new idea. Marketing geniuses. Now if only she'd come to the land of grown ups and collaborate with Betsey Johnson or someone who would accept her inner wild child and make some rainbow leopard/zebra print pumps! Seriously. I'd buy them in a heart beat.

So I guess I'm done rambling for now, onto the manicure!









Here are the polishes I used. When I said in the title "USE ALL THE COLORS" I literally meant I used so many colors.

There are a few polishes I can't remember names for at the moment so I'll update them later when I get the chance!

If I didn't make it clear earlier, I just want to say that I freaking love Lisa Frank. She combines all of my favorite things: bright colors, glitter, animal print, cute furry animals and makes these fantastically horrible creations with them. What more could a girl ask for in life? Nothing. Well... except maybe some more nail polish.


I'm obsessed with this manicure. Usually I post these manicures hoping people will like them, but this one I don't even care because I'm obsessed enough for everyone.


Be sure to check out what the others did for today's mani! And follow us on twitter too!




P.S. This manicure is dedicated to my roommate! She had a poster over her bed sophomore year that was most definitely Lisa Frank. Even though she swears it was just some abstract grown up rainbow splatter thing, I know better. I can spot a genuine Lisa Frank creation a mile away. So here's to you Erin, embracing your inner 90's kid before it was cool.
