Hey my loves!
I have a secret to tell you, I have a love hate relationship with my nails. When I say I have a love hate relationship I mean that I love how my nails look when they are freshly polished, but I hate polishing them. I have the shakiest hands that you could ever imagine (thank God for nail strips). I have tons of nail polish and thanks to Sally Hansen my collection just grew even larger. Every Sunday I said I would paint my nails for the week. That lasted for about a month and my motivation quickly started to fade.
So I was excited to see the Sally Hansen I <3 Nail Art Contest. Now in no way shape or form am I some fancy nail artist. I can barely draw a straight line or even polka dots (smh), but I thought it would be fun to partake in the challenge.
So for the month of March the theme is “Inspired by the Runway.” I went on a massive Google search and found something that was simple enough for me to do and add my own little twist!
I chose the Modern Racing Stripes spotted on the hands of the lovely models for Monika Chiang during New York Fashion Week Spring 2013.
Check out my creation below!
What I Used
1. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Cinna-Snap 340
2. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Silver Sweep 230 down the “center” of my nail on my middle finger
3. Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips in Check Please! 235
4. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat
Cinna-Snap 340, Insta-Dri Top Coat, Salon Effects Check, Please! 235, Silver Sweep 230
I didn’t want to get too fancy and put a silver strip on each nail so I opted for the Check, Please! nail strips as a symbol for the end of the race when someone waves the checkered flag. For an amateur, I think I did pretty well!
