Shelly's Sassy Saturday nail art contest May 2013


My latest manicure was for a contest on Facebook. The owner of the page (Shelly's Sassy Nails) has a nail art contest at the beginning of the month with a different theme for each. This month's theme was : Fashion. It could have been anything from your favorite outfit you own,or an outfit you've seen somewhere else, or an accessory you have seen or own. Anything you can replicate the design of on your nails. Well I first picked a dress I had seen Nicole Ritchie wear somewhere. But before I could do that I was looking through early entries and saw some else had done something too similar and hers looked better than what I could have done so I wasn't about to embarrass myself that way so I searched for something else. Here is the original dress
Because you can use whatever you like to make the nail art I was going to use a stamper I have to make the flowers. I tried looking through my own things but didn't find anything that I wanted or possibly even could replicate so I looked online. There is this one designer I love her stuff(but soo can't afford lol) and it's Betsey Johnson and I found this purse of hers I loved so I did that. Didn't win ( did I mention that theme was MY idea lol ) but I'm proud of how it turned out. I think I'm finally learning how to do this right. Let me know what you think. Here is the original purse and my nail art 
The gold was to represent the chain and I tried to do the leopard print to the best of my ability. Not bad for my first time lol. That print is one I have to keep practicing on for sure. That's all for now check back for more manicures(I'm getting in a mood to do more of these so watch out!! Lol) TTFN(ta ta for now) :-D
