A2Z Series - Q Is For 'Quirky'



Hi NaiLovelies!

This week the challenge word is QUIRKY......that's right, we've reached the letter Q already - I can't believe how quickly this challenge is going by....




Boy oh boy - this week was so hard for me to come up with something for prompt, I mean what the heck is a flippin' Quirky manicure when their at home anyway....? Trust me, this was a question I asked the other ladies taking part.  They said something 'interesting, unique, alternative'..... so this is my interpretation!

I recently chopped my hair off and am currently sporting a fab new afro do.  As a hair and nail blogger, I thought I would combine both of my hobbies and add my face and hair onto my nails - well kinda..... I can't say I have ever seen an afro haired lady on anyones nails - EVER.  I am not really the type to wear this type of nail art but I'm not gonna lie - I LOVE THIS MANI!  I am also surprised at how wearable it is and I can't wait to wear it to work tomorrow.




I almost pulled out of the challenge this week because I just couldn't decide on whether the idea I had in mind was good enough.  It turns out I should have a little more faith in my nail art ability because I ended up loving this as much as the Kitchen Sink manicure - another week that I was dreading!

I was so worried about whether this would come out okay I decided to just sit down with my acrylic paints and see what happened.  I painted this over an existing gel polish and regular polish cover up manicure.  This meant that I I would be able to fix any mishaps easily but I am stunned that this worked first time - no problems encountered along the way (apart from my dark brown paint being lumpy - it had this weird souffle consistency....you can see a chunk of said souffle on my cheek if you look closely :)

I decided to leave my hair and face topcoat free so the matte acrylic paint would 'pop' against the duochrome and holographic background.
