Morning!! As you might have noticed the new image over to the right, that states 'On Wednesdays we wear pink, do you?' Well it's such a fun idea that the ladies from Colour Coated, Glitta Gloves & Life and Polish started. As stated by them -
"Once Upon A Time….
A couple of nail bloggers decided to let their love for the movie Mean Girls manifest itself in the form of wearing pink manis on Wednesdays.
In the movie Mean Girls, “The Plastics” always wear pink on Wednesdays. And while we’re not mean girls at all, we loved the idea so much that we tweaked it a little and made it our own.
And thus Pink Wednesdays were born!"
I too love that movie, and thought it would be fun to join in on Pink Wednesdays. So here we go.
If you're interested in joining in, you can go here and fill the form out, and just follow the instructions :)
Okay, mani time. Remember how I mentioned I purchased colored leaves with my feathers, well I decided to use my pink leaf.
Here is is prior to me cutting it
I started with 2 coats of OPI Mod About You
Then after some trimming, I again glued it on, and did 2 thick coats of SV
Gorgeous Erika, love mod about you (but have to get some thinner for mine) and that leaf is fab over it. It's a great look, can imagine it with a colour clashing outfit red and pink stripes or soemthing . love it !
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is really gorgeous Erika. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWow this looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice! Is this something special for nails or could you basically take anything and glue it and put a cover layer over it?
ReplyDeleteMod about you is my favorite pink EVER!!!! So pretty
ReplyDeletethis looks so cute and the idea is very cool
ReplyDeleteWonderful! This way I might be able to get over my fear of pink. ;) Liking that Mod About You, not only for the name but mostly I think... :)
ReplyDeletethat's a great idea... I'll purchase leaves asap!
ReplyDeleteThanks you guys!!
ReplyDeleteBreigh, Oh I'm sure just about anything thin and flexible would work. These I did purchase off of a nail site though :)
Alice, oh YAY, if you try it, you better make sure to let me know how it goes :P
All I can say is AWESOME. If you just used the leaf without the stem it would look like snake skin.
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely! I love that you try out different things and share the results with us. =)
ReplyDeleteI love it! So freakin' cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm joining, too! I'm not wearing pink today (Wednesday) because I just found out about it, and am on my way out the door to work. But next week and the weeks following, I'll be sporting my pink nail polish!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erika!
I'm in love with that pink shade <3
ReplyDeleteI swear you always have perfect nails! *indulges in a bout of nail envy* I'm really loving these feather and leaf manis, so creative and interesting!
ReplyDeleteYou are so innovative & creative!! That mani is just way too cool.
ReplyDeleteL-O-V-E!!!! When you say glue is it nail glue? I really want to try this bit not sire if I have the patience.
ReplyDeleteA-MAZING.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you joined! YAY you'll probably have the most creative pink manicures lol since you have a huge stash to pull from! Love this leaf idea, it would look so cool on all your nails I think!
ReplyDeletePerfect timing, last night I polished my nails with ChG Fly (pink)!!!
ReplyDeletereally creative and the pinks compliment each other nicely! another faboosh mani
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery Cool! I like the idea of Pink Wednesday. BTW about how long do you think that mani would last? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the leaf accent nail ..!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I'm new to the group, as well! :)
ReplyDeleteAgain, totally perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove this!!
ReplyDeletehave you ever tried/considered trying nail foils (like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG68alyYaYg)?
That is really pretty! I love the idea of Pink Wednesdays but I would only be able to go for about two weeks lol, my pink stash is very limited.
ReplyDeleteyou are always so creative..looks fab.
ReplyDeleteThanks you guys!!
ReplyDeleteStarla, haha, yes it would :)
Katie, whoo hoo!! Yay, i'm glad you're joining
Amy, no I just used clear Elmers glue. If I wanted it to last a long time, I would def use nail glue.
Elizabeth, thanks!! I love the idea, and the fact it forces me to use more pink :P
For me, it works - Yay, that is perfect timing!
Rikki, since I only used Elmers glue, probably a day, lol. If I wanted it to really last, I would def use actual nail glue.
vampiregrl36, I have heard of them, but have yet to try them.
turtlechick, umm...this just gives you the perfect reason to go shopping!!! Hahah
Such a beautiful manicure Erika. I have some of these leaves in my craft box, I must dig them out and try this. GORGEOUS. xxx
ReplyDeletelove this mani! very good idea =D
ReplyDeleteHeeeey! I'm wearing pink today! I did one of your Scotch tape designs, actually. I'm rather proud of it, though not as good as you.
ReplyDeleteLove your manicure! : D
Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the Pink Wednesday idea. And love the mani, just not completely sure it works in pink. Maybe it's because pink isn't a natural leaf colour. Sorry if I sound harsh
ReplyDeleteThis is so, so pretty. I love your nails! I am so thrilled that you're joining in on Pink Wednesdays!!!
ReplyDeletei love pink... cool idea :)
ReplyDeleteI never noticed how absolutely perfect your nails are. They are such the perfect shape, length, etc. I'm jealous! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool idea and look!
ReplyDeleteWow that looks so pretty! Such a creative idea :)
ReplyDeletexxx
Oooh Erika, I'm so happy that you've joined Pink Wednesdays! We're stoked to have you and your mani is amaaaaaaazing. I really want to get some feathers and try this but I know that it won't come out nearly as good as yours!
