NCC - Where you can Say Anything

Hello, Fireflies!

Ok, so technically, there are only 4 challenges per month for the NCC.  I usually do my NCC challenges on Wednesdays, and there are 5 Wednesdays this month.. so, before I knew it, I had done a 5th Movie/Music/TV mani.

Yep, I'm *that* guy.

So, for your enjoyment, I present my 5th challenge for April, based on a song that was used in a movie.

A blank slate, with Revlon Spirit.

Flames..hmm.. 'the heat' stamped with Cheeky 52 and Nabi Red, with a bit of Julep Kyla dabbed on.

 A little sparkle from L'Oreal The True Diamond - 'the light'... 'the light, the heat'.

And a little dude holding a boom box.  If I could draw, he'd be wearing a trench coat.

And, finally, the eyes! "In your eyes, the light, the heat; your eyes, I am complete. In your eyes, I see the doorway to a thousand churches..."

Yeah, I wasn't even going to try drawing a thousand churches.

Here's basically the whole movie, Say Anything, set to the awesomeness that is Peter Gabriel's, "In Your Eyes," the song that broke every girl's heart watching this movie.

"I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen."

Bottle shot:  Revlon Spirit, Nabi Red, Julep Kyla, L'Oreal The True Diamond, and a Sharpie.

'Put googly eyes on your nails," my husband said.  "Put googly eyes on and it'll be like that movie.  It'll be fun," he said.

Falling for Nail Art - The Notebook..Paper

Hello, Fireflies!

Yep, I'm doing another challenge... I hope we all enjoy it!

Today's theme is Back to School.  I've already done one of these with pencils, so I decided to do paper this time.  I started out with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

I used a blue/green striper for the horizontal lines, and a red striper for the vertical ones.  I thought I was being clever in using a dotting tool with OPI Black Onyx for the holes.

I loved the doodling art that Kelsie's Nail Files did on her notebook paper, so I tried using a Sharpie to do some of my own.  It smeared a little, but it was pretty easy to do.

I was always doodling on my notes in school. Didn't we all draw suns in the corner of our papers?

Have you tried using something unconventional to decorate your nails, like a Sharpie?  I'd love to know what worked for you guys (and what didn't!)
