Today's post is for the 3rd #clairestelle8june prompt, "inspired by fashion". In case you weren't aware, this month the #clairestelle8challenge on instagram is being sponsored by picture polish, who will pick a winner and award them a $150 shopping spree on their website. Pretty cool!
Side note: I broke a nail while rock hunting (boohoo!) so I'm rocking a shorter mani now.
So for today's mani, I did a search on pinterest until I found a fashion look that inspired me. Here is my inspiration piece:

It's been a little while since I've done a mani inspired by fashion, but doing this I was reminded how much fun it is to do. There are so many great ideas in the fashion world that translate easily to nails!
For this mani, I first painted my pointer/middle fingers with a nude polish. My ring and pinky got a bright orange to match the skirt.
To get the look of the stripe down the middle of her shirt, I decided to piece together a couple of images on my silicone mat. I started by stamping the diagonal parallel lines on this MoYou London "Holy Shapes 05" plate, then painting the outside of the lines with my Sinful Colors "Navy I Do" polish.
The pattern on my pinky and ring fingers comes from this MoYou London plate from the Mexico collection. It seemed like the best match to the skirt that I had in my collection.
I think this is my new favorite from you. I love your interpretation of the skirt's pattern and then the simple stripe down the other nails...that is actually my favorite part. I think it's because it reminds me of an idea for a steampunk shirt that I'm trying to source materials for. It's just so clever. 😍
ReplyDeleteOh and sorry you damaged your nails _and_ didn't find the rock. Sounded like good fun anyway though! 😉
DeleteThank you so much! We did have lots of fun, even though we didn't find it. Found some neat trails we might revisit sometime when we feel like going on a walk.
DeleteAre you making a steampunk shirt? Sounds really fun and interesting! Are you going to a convention or is it just for personal use?
Going for walks is the best day to day exercise, imo. :) The shirt is for personal use. I have lots of sewing projects. I should probably be sewing instead of painting my nails. LOL
DeleteThis turned out sooooo cute 😍 love how you translated the outfit onto your nails!
ReplyDeleteOh and I hope you win this contest!!!!
DeleteThank you! A lot of people are participating in the challenge, but it sure would be exciting to win!
DeleteThis nail art is a perfect match for the outfit. I am a big fan of these kind of nail art...just I need more time to do them :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I love doing nail art inspired by fashion too- I always see colors and patterns mixed that I never would have come up with on my own and it's fun to make something "outside the box!"
