Inktober Day 19: Sling

Today's prompt was a tough one! I got stuck on an arm sling, and couldn't get my mind off of it. Unfortunately, an arm sling isn't really that artistic, at least in my mind while I was doing this. BUT...in the spirit of Halloween, I thought about what a sling is for: to support broken bones. And broken bones are very on-trend for the season, so I thought about doing an x-ray look.

Then, I got tired after 3 nails, and added glitter.

Inktober Day 19: Sling

The art was done with all OPI shades: Skull & Glossbones, "Liv" in the Gray, and Black Onyx. The glitter I used is My Three Glitters from Sonoma Nail Art. Thank goodness for that, because my eyelids were way too heavy to do two more nails!

Glitter and Nail Art: Day 7

Here's the last post in my glitter and nail art week. If you're looking for some kind of inspiration and motivation to challenge yourself and your nail blog, consider doing a week of glitter and nail art. It gives you enough wiggle room to keep your manicures simple, but still requires that you do more than just layer some glitter over your regular polish. It forces you to think outside the box and is challenging enough to stick with without feeling obligated.

For my final design, I wanted to showcase the glitter mainly, so I did a glitter gradient. The glitter is Clockwork from Sonoma Nail Art. I scored this one during her last sale, in addition to Pinot Envy. I have shown you the two others I have here and here. I piled Clockwork on at the base of my nails over Rising Star (OPI), which I painted over Posh (Revlon). I love Posh and I'm glad I bought it.

I hope you've enjoyed glitter and nail art week at Nailed It as much as I have! Keep an eye on those Etsy stores as some restock constantly, some randomly, and some at a very specific time which they will tell you outright if you ask or check their info sections.

Fantasy of Perpetual Indulgence

Today's nails hardly needs any blog-talk accompanying it. It's so flippin' amazing, but it's also a rarity currently. The amazing glitter shown here is Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from Sonoma Nail Art. It's a seriously remarkable. I originally wanted to do it over yellow as advertised on the Sonoma Nail Art blog. I wanted to try something else though, so I chose a HOT pink, Flip Flop Fantasy (China Glaze).

I seriously considered buying 2 of these polishes to offer as a giveaway prize, but then I thought that wasn't fair to the other girls who were waiting for the shop to open like me. My heart was racing faster than ice cream on a hot tarmac. When I actually got this bottle and another into my cart, I was certain they'd sell out before I could finish PayPal's transaction, but they didn't and I got a confirmation message! I felt happier than a starved-for-attention actress mentioned for her terrible fashion choices.

What's Black, White, and Full of Glitter?

THESE NAILS!

I literally couldn't handle the giggling that kept spewing out of my mouth when I thought about all the awesome glitters I've accumulated. So, I did the only thing I could think of...put one on each nail!

Now some of these you've seen already, but I couldn't repeat a polish on another nail, so I resurrected them.

Here are the candidates:

• Left Hand
• L.A. Girl Uninhibited 
• All That Glitters Spotty Dottie White
• Lynderella Connect the Dots (linked to Ilarowe's shop where it's currently being sold)
  
• windestine Carbon Copy
• Sally Hansen Multi-Faceted

• Right Hand
• F4 Polish Holy Cow
• Dandy Nails Colorblind
• windestine Asbestos
• All That Glitters Spotty Dottie Black
• Sonoma Nail Art Sonoma County Gazette

Sadly, only Holy Cow is available from the Etsy shops, but you can definitely nab the Sally Hansen and L.A. Girl more readily.

Oh...and the green is Just in Lime! (Sally Hansen Insta-Dri).
