Pop Culture Giveaway - Day 5!


Ok, so this is the last design of the Pop Culture Giveaway here on The Daily Nail, but I've had so much fun doing these pop culture-inspired designs that I've decided to make it a series on the blog! Might be once a week or once every two, but I hope you guys like 'em!

I'm super-stoked that so many of you guessed Day 4's inspiration- there were almost NO wrong answers in the entries!! For the final day of this giveaway, I used a movie that I loved so much that I saw it 4 times...in the theater. The imagery and characters were so kickass in this movie, I loved every second of it!

The hints:

1. Living is easy with eyes closed.

2. One of the lead roles was played by a young man who was also great with numbers.

and an extra clue...

3. There's a nail polish with the same name

Because some people apparently hate 'the claw' (TheSwatchaholic, I'm lookin' at you!)

This was my favorite strawberry. :-D

For those interested in the nails, I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On as a base, with Zoya Carmen and Zoya Arizona mixed (and used separately) for the base color of the strawberries, then I shaded them with American Apparel Lipstick and American Apparel Port. For the highlights, I used CND Bicycle Yellow and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On. For the green, I used Nubar Forest. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Stay tuned for Day 5, it's the final day!!!

For those curious what inspired Day 4's nail art, here's your answer!

It was O'Bannion's paddle in the movie Dazed and Confused!  (The splattered white paint on the last pic was a nod to when they dumped all the white paint on him for being a jerk)

Pop Culture Giveaway - Day 3!


Welcome to Day 3 of the Pop Culture Giveaway! Awesome! Day 2 of the giveaway was awesome!  So glad that so many of you were able to correctly identify the inspiration for the nail art! Today's nail art was kind of a little B$#&H, I seriously redid it 3 or 4 times, and it never came out as well as I'd hoped. Damn me for picking cartoons that have outlines. lol (bonus hint! lol)

The hints:

1. It's a heck of a way to see the world.

2. 10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck!

and an extra clue...

3. I wish I had one of the characters from this movie to help with this nail design!

Follow the Leader


Day 98

9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...NAILS! I decided to do film leader nails today because I love the way film leaders look, even though they are fairly bland, they have an interesting aesthetic to them, and plus, I've recently jumped into everything movie/film related, so they just seemed to 'fit'.

I used Orly Mirror, Mirror as a base, then mixed it with American Apparel Cotton to get the lighter grey of the rotating clock arm part, I also used American Apparel Cottonfor the white circles, and then used OPI for Sephora What's a Tire Jack? Matte for the black lines, and for the numbers. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat to get that high-gloss gleam!
