This is my entry for that contest. It is based off the corset I wore for my wedding... I hope you enjoy the mani as much as Mr. PGC enjoyed the original corset...... xoxo
So the thumb represents the bottom of the corset with the garters attached to a stocking Complete with pink butterfly hip tatto (which I do not have).
Pointer finger is just one one booby!
Middle finger is the top of the back of the corset.
Ring finger is front view with metal closures (this corset only has laces in the back).
Pinky is the wait area as seen in the back.
I made sure to get different shots of the thumb so it can be seen from the proper angle (not upside down or sideways).
My brother had a friend who in High School had a pair of grey stone washed blue jean looking parachute pants that had paint splattered all over them. That was the inspiration for this mani. What is your 80's mani inspiration?
I used the sugar spun technique for this. Which I have to say I am not very good at, but this is only my second attempt at doing sugar spun nails. You can see that I traveled from my pinky towards my thumb. I started to get it to work around my middle finger.

I will be guested over at My Boyfriend Hates Makeup. Lacey has a busy few months ahead of her. So when she asked for help from her fellow bloggers, I offered to do a few guest blogs to help her out. I will be doing one a month from now till May. This is my January guest blog, and today is Winnie the Pooh Day.
I love the way the crimson color of the red of the Velvet Lounge bursts through the copperish purple of the Ferguson Crest Syrah.
I used Velvet Lounge on four of my fingers as a base coat, and Ferguson Crest Syrah on my accent ring finger. I then used striping tape to make the burst and topped it with Ferguson Crest Syrah. Once that was most of the way I removed the striping tape. I used Velvet Lounge to tip my ring finger.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Polish Used:
Wet n Wild: Velvet Lounge and Ferguson Crest Syrah
Julep describes this as a spring lilac creme, and I have to say I agree with this. The color coverage is awesome. Almost full coverage in one coat, with only minor touch ups needed. This makes a wonderful alternative to white as a base color if you are using any kind of purple or pastels. I do wish the color came out better, in the pictures it looks more pink. :(
