31 Day Challenge (v.2!) Day 22: Inspired By A Song

Morning Ladies! Welcome to Day 22 of the 31 Day Challenge! Have we really been at it this long??

Today's Challenge is: dun dun dun! Inspired By A Song! I had some grand plans for this one, but.....I got sick. I still feel rather icky but I managed to do a less insane version of the mani I had planned.

I'm putting this one under a cut since it could be deemed offensive.


So awhile back someone on Twitter mentioned my fave SNL/Lonely Island bit ever. My twisted little brain just knew I would have to use it as my song inspiration, even though it's raunchy and I'm sure at least a few people will be offended. But I have a twisted sense of humor and this always cracks me up. In fact, the first time I saw this sketch, I about wet my pants.

For this mani I used my fave neutral base, OPI Skull and Glossbones. Then I painted the "scenes" using acrylic paint and a detail brush.

So, at risk of being offensive, I give you.....
Di*k In A Box (As portrayed by Stick Figure Dude)!

So lemme break it down for ya: My index nail is Stick Dude just feeling all cocky and sure of himself (the bubble in my top coat was NOT stretegically placed...just a hilarious coincidence). My middle nail is Stick Dude proudly holding up his box, very sure that his gift idea will be well received. My ring finger is stick dude wearing the box, also proudly, and my pinky just says "Di*k In A Box", in case it wasn't obvious what stick dude was doing.

Not an epic mani, but still fun and it made my husband crack up. I wish I wasn't sick so I would've been able to do it up right, but this was honestly all I could handle. In fact, I'm off to be miserable some more. I do have a couple posts for later, but right now Ibuprofen and sleep are calling me.

Be sure to check out the Varnished Vixens and their (probably less offensive) Song Manis!

31 Day Challenge, Day 22: Inspired by a song!

I admit it. I am strange. I didn't want to use a song that was popular or mainstream, and this one just screamed to be done. I sing this song with altered lyrics to both of my kids, and it's just popped up in so many areas of my life (in albeit silly ways) that it was an obvious choice.

I give you........dun dun dun!...Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of The Bumblebee"!

I used Sally Hansen's Smooth and Perfect Color Care polish in Air as my base, and freehanded the Bee's and the flight path. The flowers on my right thumb are little Fimo flowers I picked up from Sally's months ago but never seem to use. The premise of my mani is that Nikolai the Bumblebee is going on a journey across my nails to find the flower patch. My kids found this incredibly amusing!

If Hub's was here I would move my nails into "story position" to show you Nikolai's progression. Hehehe. Yeah, I am a dork. ;) Feel free to point and laugh.

Thankfully tonight's challenge is something I have been looking forward to and actually am inspired for!

Happy Polishing!
