So many things to post and so little time! At the moment I'm in the middle of my exams, hence the lack of posting this week. But I've got plenty of fun stuff to share with you once things are slowing down. :)
Between all the studying I did manage to create a look for the OPI Nails 4 Life contest on Facebook. My entry had to be inspired by one of the four Nicki Minaj outfits provided by OPI. I chose the outfit she wore to Victoria's Secret and didn't have to think long about my choice, I was crazy about the fun graffiti style in vivid colors. Different techniques were used to achieve this look: sponging for the background, taping for the striped accent nail and a lot of freehanding for the stars, hearts and Nicki's initial, which took a lot of time to make but turned out pretty cute. ^^
If you like my entry, you can vote for me through this page. The prize is the entire OPI Nicki Minaj collection, plus an autographed copy of her Pink Friday album! Isn't that awesome?! I'm thrilled about the whole prize, so I'd appreciate it if you truly want to vote for my entry, though that's entirely up to you of course!
Did you participate in OPI's Nails 4 Life contest?

ReplyDeleteOK those are the most perfect nails ever! Your seriously talented! I did not participate, but I hope you win!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your support everyone! :-* I didn't expect so many lovely comments as I wasn't completely satisfied with the entry myself.
ReplyDelete@Algae Veronica and Anonymous: Algae Veronice, of course I know you! I came across your work on Tumblr. You've got an awesome funky style :-) And about the OPI contest: thanks for warning me both, I really appreciate it. I've been really confused though about if I was breaking rules or not. OPI says the entry "cannot have been submitted previously in a promotion or contest of any kind or exhibited or displayed publicly through any means". I assumed that was just to avoid having contestants using an old manicure for the contest. Also now that voting has started, OPI is expecting contestants to share their entries via Facebook to gain votes, which is public too right? So after a lot of thinking I decided to leave this post on my blog because I don't believe I'm breaking rules. And if I was, removing the post wouldn't undo it as I've already gained votes with it. (It's not looking very well though, looks like I'll have to buy the Nicki Minaj collection myself! ;-)) But thanks again for the notice, even when you're in the contest yourself!
waauw echt supermooi!
ReplyDeleteThey look really fab! Good luck!
