Morning dears! I am officially done! I finished my last exam last night and then hopped on a bus home right away with a suitcase packed as tight as I could. I just wanted to get home and start relaxing. Let me tell you picking which polishes to bring home with me was SO HARD! I ended up putting as many as I could into my backpack and am hoping they will do until I can get the rest of my stash.
Last week my friend Marta of ChitChat Nails announced she was holding a nail art contest! The theme was a dotticure and in your entry picture you had to hold the silliest thing you could find! You all know how much I love my dotticures so I jumped at the chance to enter this awesome contest!
To start off this look I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales the Walls which just happens to be one of Marta's favourite polishes! ;) Then I created a subtle gradient using MBSTW and Wet n Wild Silvivor. I loved how subtle this gradient was! I then added another gradient of sorts in petals up my nail in Essence Wanna Be Your Sunshine, Essie Pretty Edgy and Sally Hansen Blue Me Away.
Finding a 'silly' thing to hold turned out to be harder than I thought! You would think that a university student might have lots of silly things lying around the house, but I have been cleaning up lately so I actually didn't have much! But I do have this silver stuffed dog from Victorias Secret PINK that I thought seemed like a silly thing to hold in a manicure shot!
So what do you all think? Is this a 'silly' thing to hold in a NOTD pose? I would never pose with something like this in a real picture! I'm really excited to see what everyone else that enters the contest comes up with! The contest will be decided by public voting throughout this week beginning tomorrow. So make sure you check out Marta's blog ChitChat Nails tomorrow to see the rest of the entries!
Hope you are all having a very relaxing Sunday! I'm off to spend some much needed quality time with my family and friends :D
