Summer Challenge
Hiya beautiful, I'm back with our Summer Challenge. Today's challenge is "Ice Cream." So truth be told, I had no idea what to do for this one. I thought of ice cream cones, dishes with ice cream, and nothing really jumped at me. So I went a little more abstract today, hope that's ok! |
| Summer Challenge: Ice Cream |
Manicure based on Chalkboard Nails Cookies And Cream Jelly Sandwich. Mine isn't a jelly sammy, but it's close. If you squint your eyes, it kind of looks like Cookies N Cream ice cream... Great, now I'm hungry.
Products Used:
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On! (opaque creme white)Cover Band Sticks & Stones (yessssss finally got my hands on it!)
Savvy French White White (sheer, thin white)
Cover Band Sticks & Stones
I'm sure ya'll know about Cover Band Sticks & Stones and all the Lynderella drama with it. However, I prefer this one to all the other ones just because of the size and denseness of the glitters used and the lack of shimmer or color in the base polish. After seeing tons of swatches and comparisons, I really wanted this one. It's available at NinjaPolish.com for $9 but it's usually sold out - but you can sign up for an email when it's available. That's what I did and I finally scored a bottle (or three).Giveaway
Don't forget today is the last day for my giveaway! Tweet, FB, post to get in those extra entries! Plus, once I get settled at my new place, I'll be announcing my next giveaway, which is gonna be awesome.
I'm a little crazy
I only wore this on 4 nails for a few hours for the purpose of this challenge because I needed to get ahead on this challenge so I wouldn't get behind while I'm moving! Funny thing was, I had some errands to run and I didn't have time to take it off before I left the house. I did get quite a few compliments on it, and quite a few strange looks.Have any of you only done 4 (or 5) nails and then had to go out in public? What happened? Do tell!
I love it. I just signed up for emails in a few polishes.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Hope you get some good ones!
DeleteI think it's cool, and I actually recognized the Cookies n Cream ice cream before you mentioned it! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad you did. I was hoping it wouldn't be too out there.
DeleteLovely :) I think it looks just like cookies n cream ice cream!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI've gone out with "Swatch" hands before too, and I have actually gotten a lot of compliments. I've even been asked if it is the new trend! LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha, you should have told them it is the latest trend! It'd be funny if a ton of people started wearing swatches!
DeleteLooks great!! And that's too funny a bout you going out with the swatch. I love it so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI love the cookies and cream look! And yes, I've done the swatch look. For my patriotic Twinsie Tuesday post, I literally had six bare nails and an abstract American flag on my left hand. It was absolutely ridiculous, but hey, a blogger's gotta do what a blogger's gotta do ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks!! That's such an awesome story. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
DeleteThe day I discovered the Great Ant Invasion, I ran right out to our community manager's office with my left hand done in full palm tree glory for the challenge, and my right hand completely bare.
ReplyDeleteLooks good enough to eat!
Haha that's so awesome! I love it.
DeleteYummy cookies n Creme is one of my favorite ice cream! Lol let me tell you I think that through out this whole challenge that has happened to me! I only do one hand and I'm to tired or I run out of time to do the other then i step outside and get asked why my right hand isn't done and I just say "I meant to do that" hehe :D
ReplyDeleteMine too! I've done it this entire challenge too! I'm so glad I have good company in that regard! I keep thinking it'd be nice to have an entire mani, but no, only 4 fingers, then move on!
DeleteYummy :) Simple and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm pleased with how it turned out.
DeleteBig glitters really reminds me of cookie chips in cookie n' cream!
ReplyDeleteAnd honestly, I like your version than chalkboard nail's ver...*cough*
Anyway great and tasty mani!! :D
Haha you're so sweet! Thank you. It really does look like the cookies peeking through.
Deletehaha yes! Back in october when I did a candy corn mani for halloween I only did 4 fingers and wore it out for a quick errand...there were definitely some stares :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You're in good company - apparently a lot of us bloggers do!
Deletemmm looks so yummy :D and yes, I once went out in public with only 4 nails painted, it think it was a swatch :)) I totally forgot until a friend pointed it out =)))
