Animal Style

So today's nails are for the west-coasters, whom I hope will recognize them as the In-N-Out Burger cup design!! :) I LOVE In-N-Out, it is one of the places that keeps me here on the west coast! :-P I had it for dinner last night, and while I was eating, I looked at the cup and thought that the design would make for good nail art. Now, mind you, I've had In-N-Out of the idea list for some time now, but the original intent was to include it with a bevy of other fast food logos, but when this idea presented itself, I had no choice but to dedicate a day to it. :-D

The inspiration (I swear I heard angels singing, and possibly children's laughter):

The nails:

I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with China Glaze Salsa for the palm trees, line, and squiggle line. Topped it off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Hmmm, maybe Ill have it for lunch again today... Cheeseburger , no onion, fries lightly well, and a Dr. Pepper, please!!

On a suckier note, I get to have a root canal today, *cry* so I'm freaking out a bit.

Fortunately, GLEE is on tonight, so I have something to look forward to!!! YAY I'm so excited!

Love this! Love In-n-Out too. Do NOT love that you are having a root canal, best of luck and hoping for no pain for you. LOVE that you are a fellow Gleek! :)

I had this on Saturday, In n out is so good! Feel better...the root canal isnt that bad, but eat before...it sucks being hungry and NOT being able to eat :)

Awesome. Had a root canal last September. If you dont have any pain right now then your rc shouldnt be that bad. I had to get 4 filings today and Im hating life but my teeth must be on point for my trip to Vegas in June.

Poor Ms. Nail - If I am not mistaken, you had no cavities until college and the discovery of Mt. Dew :) - hope your root canal went well - you aren't supposed to catch softballs with your mouth!! Cute nails - I really like them!! did you guess this was Mom?

Great nails, so simple, yet perfect! They make me miss In-N-Out Burger and LA!
Hope your root canal goes quickly and painlessly...

I have tried to watch Glee, but my dog is absolutely terrified of the show- so unless I want to deal with 60 pounds of quivering, drooling, panting puppy, I have to pass it up. Go figure.

I hope the root canal went well. I had one 2 years ago and while I was still drugged my husband took me to SmartPet and I ended up with 2 cats.

Love the nails and love your blog. I've been following it for months now but this is my first time commenting. You're adorable and so creative! ;-)

I'll have a cheeseburger, fries well-done, and a Neapolitan milkshake. Oh wait, I'm stuck in New Jersey and we don't have In-N-Out... sigh. :(

Love these nails!
