Hello Lovelies! Happy Wednesday! I managed to photograph the awesome Polish TBH pretty yesterday, but right now I have an ABC Challenge manicure for you (I'll post the Polish TBH this afternoon)!

Today's challenge letter is X, and I have to tell you, I was largely uninspired until I realized that I have a drawer full of X-Treme Wear polishes. I've had some nail art ideas in my head, thanks to my daughter, and took this opportunity to create her favorite.

For this manicure I started with a base of Sally Hansen X-Treme Wear in Grey Area. I have no idea why I haven't worn this before - it's such a pretty grey, even if it is darker than the grey from my inspiration. After that dried, I added a few different sized dots in another X-Treme Wear polish, Breezy blue. Then I added some tiny dots to the upper right of the blue dots in yet another X-Treme Wear polish, White On.

This design is actually inspired my a character in My Little Pony : Friendship Is Magic named "Derpy Hooves". She was a background character, but the fans fell in love with her uneven eyes and clutzy mannerisms, so she was adopted into the cast. My daughter is a huge MLP fan and adores Derpy, so it was only fitting that I recreat Derpy's Cutie Mark (the image on the pony's flank) on my nails. Her cutie mark is just random floating bubbles, but I think these look pretty darn cool!

I admit it - I really dig these! Derpy is a pretty fab character, and even though my base color is darker than Derpy is, I'm still thrilled with these. Now if my nails would grow faster, I'd be a happy girl! Unfortunately I had been patching a tear that was just behind the quick on my index finger, and that started to give way so I had to take my length down one last time. It does keep my right hand closer to the length on my left though, so in the end it works out. I'm just missing having *some* length.

What do you think of my Derpy Hooves Cutie Mark Nails? You get extra points if you actually know who I'm talking about!

I'll be back later with Polish TBH awesomeness, and I have some incredible Indies coming up this week, so check back!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
