Day 6 - Forever Mani

6:00:00 PM

This is my last post of the SNAAARKM Challenge. I know that the last day is supposed to be water marbling, but I can't do it. I attempted it, and failed, and on Saturday I will post a rant post about how much I hate water marbling.

Anywhoo, here are the links to the last 5 days....

Today I bring you the forever manicure. This is the manicure that I would wear the rest of my life if I had to. Planning wise, this was the hardest day for me to come up with. What in the world would I want to spend the rest of my life wearing?!?!

As we all know, I love nail art, and I rarely do anything simple on my nails. I figured if I was going to be forced to wear something the rest of my life, I needed to have something on it to make it pop. Something simple but with a twist. Here's what I came up with

Colors Used:

Funky Fingers - Queen Cupcake
Sinful Colors - Zeus
Essie - Shine of the Times

I wanted my Manicure to have purple in it since this is one of my all time favorite colors. When I purchased Zeus, I wasn't sure how I felt about the polish. After painting on the base for my Dot Flowers, I fell in love! It is this gorgeous grey purple with a subtle pink shimmer. It is a polish you must purchase and try for yourself at least once. If you hate it, swap it, but I can guarantee you will love it as well.

To match the pink shimmer in Zeus, I grabbed Queen Cupcake. This polish is pretty in it's own way as well. I'm not one typically for light pastel pinks. I love dark or hot pinks...you know colors that stand out and scream HELLO I'M ON YOUR NAILS! This pink has a pretty subtle gold shimmer in it which to me, makes it perfect. I do not think I would like this polish if it was a flat. It matches perfectly with the shimmer in Zeus that I had to use it. Since this is the forever manicure, I figured that I should use my lighter, more subtle colors that would be workplace appropriate.

Once painted on, I decided I needed to do something more, and I remembered a manicure I did a long time ago. The Simple Dots were a tiny way to add some umph to an otherwise boring manicure. This was the something more I needed to forever have on my nails. Also, since I'm obsessed with Shine of the Times, I threw on a coat of that. I think though, if I were going to wear this forever, I'd skip the Shine of the Times and just let the natural colors of the polishes stand out.

All together I loved it. It also taught me that while I love nail art, simple nails can be just as fun and cute.

What did the other SNAAARKM girls pick to forever wear on their nails!?!?
