Though I must say I really enjoyed everyone's designs and I love how much people put of themselves into this, talent and story wise. good luck everyone!
I have to go with Lunuland's Jersey Shore themed nails, because they're great on two counts -- a hilarious, awesome idea, and really great details (those tighty-whities are truly impressive).
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Simply Rins!
ReplyDeleteSo many great entries!
ReplyDeleteBut I think i have to say that two of them definitely stood out to me.
1st. Soffio di Dea- the scenery near her home nail design is SO BEAUTIFUL! How fortunate to live near such a beautiful evening skyline!
2nd. Cherie_Jayla- drawing funny faces on paper in her kitchen to make her two year old laugh was really adorable and truly feels like a nail design that feels like "home"
wish time hadn't caught up with me. really wanted to enter this one. oh well. Congrats and Good luck to all who put in the time and effort!
All the designs look FAB!!
My faves were the Sesame Street and cookies and milk ones! If I had to pick one though, it'd be Sesame Street.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to pick just one as everyone is so talented.
ReplyDeleteBut the detail in Soffio di Dea's landscape is awesome. Beautiful.
Definitely milk & cookies! Nothing beats it, not in this contest and not in real life. :)
ReplyDeletei love Amoeba's and Cherie_Jayla's
ReplyDeletewho knew so many people can paint art on their nails??? :)
Ashley Rautenstrauch- Let's Go Buffalo!!!
ReplyDeleteSoffio di Dea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNaluma's nails are my favorite!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like maRyya's !
ReplyDeleteI have to pick me to win. :) and it should be Wine Country, not wind country... that would be Chicago, right? :)

ReplyDeleteThank you so much to those who voted for my nail art -- Simply Rins
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this! :)
Good luck to everyone who joined!
I'll go for Simply Rins, the one with moving eyes. Her idea was very unique. Just by placing those moving eyes that's usually just used for other craft purposes, she totally reinvented modern nail art. It is both fun and funky. I also loved how each member of her family was represented. It's like bringing her family together if only through her nail art, including her dog! Brilliant!:D
ReplyDeleteHi =)
ReplyDeleteI vote for MaRyya! I like the flowers =)
