Summer Fun Challenge Day 7 - Summer Stylin'


EEP! This challenge has flown by, just one more to go!

For today we have Summer Stylin', meaning something inspired by our fave summer fashions. As always with these challenges, I *JUST* (see the asterisks? It means I'm serious) came up with a great idea that would have been soo much more in tune with the theme but, alas, it is 3am and I'm scheduling this before sleep. Maybe one day I'll create the mani in mind as an ode to one of my most used things!

Back to the nails; I was pretty stumped so I just took inspiration from the shirt I was wearing while shopping earlier in the day. I use this type of loose-fitting shirt with a little tube/bra thingy under them. It's one of the few things that don't make me want to murder the boyfriend when he hugs me and I'm overheating. It's 'fresh' is what I mean, comfortable to wear in the heat. Oh nevermind, just look at the pretty pics:




For this look I used the big fan brush that came with my brush kit. I've recently learned it has many uses for makeup, but I'm yet to discover how else to use it for nails. I just placed some drops of polish on some parchment paper, dipped the brush and painted my nails with that. If I got too much on the nail I would brush it off with one of the clean sides of the brush. I'm holding the actual shirt in the second pic there so you can see where I sort of got the idea. I definitely ran in another direction with it though.

Then, because it looked so empty, I stamped with Wet 'N Wild black creme and DRK-A.



Why two different stamps? BECAUSE I CAN. Mostly because I couldn't decide which one I wanted to stamp with, but also because I can. Who's gonna complain about two different stamps? No one right?! NO ONE?!

Sorry, I'm a little yelly. If you're interested in knowing the polishes I used or a more 'in-depth' instructions, let me know! Always happy to oblige after I've had some sleep.

Have a good Tuesday! Sidenote: the new Spider-Man movie is pretty damn good! Poor Tobey.

    1. Thank you! Hope you enjoyed the movie! I liked his sarcasm. The dialogue was legit funny in some parts.

    1. You should! Ooh do something with blue and Harvest Moon! That would look awesome.

      Yep, they always feel cuddly when it's 102 degrees. Which is odd because my guy is always hotter than I am.

    2. Blue and Harvest Moon you say... challenge accepted!

      Mine calls me the ice queen because it can be the middle of winter and I'll have the air conditioning on. I do not handle heat well, I'm a special snowflake lol.

    3. I lol'd at special snowflake. I handle heat like a champ. And by that I mean I'm almost never hot and I rarely sweat. When I do, however, please stay away. It will not be pleasant.

      Mine calls me a little engine because, when we sleep, I apparently get really hot and it's the only reason he cuddles me. Because he gets cold in the mornings. We're odd ducks, I think.
