Lacquer Legion - Reinvention

This theme had me a bit puzzled but I while watching tv I was struck with an idea.  This is less about me reinventing a design and more about where I am at in my life.  I'm reinventing myself from the 80s, back when I had time to think about make up and nail polish.  In this vein I thought bright colours and bold print and came up with a tiger stripe design over a bright yellow (very 80s).

More details after the jump.
I started with a base of NYC Lexington Yellow and covered with a coat of M&S Top Shine.  Next I painted on the tiger stripes with a fine detail brush and acrylic paint.  This was covered in another coat of M&S Top Shine to seal in the design.

Lots of other bloggers are taking part in this challenge too so look out for #LLReinvention across the blogging sites, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Food

I'm playing catch up at the moment and this is the prompt for 2 weeks ago, which was food. I wanted to do something a little different so I created a design inspired by the secret rainbow cakes.  Those cakes that are covered in plain icing and look quite simple until you cut into them and the sponge inside is a rainbow of colours, sometimes layered and sometimes swirled.  I went with the swirled option. More details after the jump.
