Wonder Woman Nails

So, okay I've been away for a while. I had been battling a cold for the last 2 weeks. Then I had so many other things going on. It seemed endless. Well now I'm ready to dive back in to my blogging.

Well sometime last month on Facebook OPI was having a challenge for nail art. It was their Heroic Hands contest. So I decided to try it out and submit an entry. I even did this while sick. I somehow was already going to do Wonder Woman nail art for the blog. Then this opportunity came & I decided to do it sooner. I have always been a fan of Wonder Woman. I watched her show when I was a kid. I even had her Underoos. So in saying that she has always been my superhero.

So while brainstorming and deciding what designs and where to place them on my fingers I did several prototype nails on a nail wheel till I had the right combo. The contest wanted you to do them on your natural nails and not on falsies or a Mani hand. So this was a challenge since I loved the way the sample ones turned out. It was a bit harder to do on my nails since they are much smaller than the sample nails.

Well here is the final product. In saying this I may not win only because this is based on Facebook followers votes. So the voters all have to like the OPI page and be on FB. Which is fine. Miracles could happen.

This is the view a little closer.

Teacher Appreciation Week 2012

 I found out that this week is Teacher Appreciation week May 7th-May 11th. This is something that I'm not so familiar with. Simply Sweets By Honeybee did teacher appreciation cookies in honor of our hard working teachers. Her cookie designs are spectacular. Especially her 3D cookie tree & chalkboards. Her cookies are so beautifully done and awe inspiring that I was inspired to try a design of my own on my nails instead of cookies. So here is my nail art creation for all those hard working teachers. Past, present, and future. Over the years while growing up I had several teachers who inspired me and other who sorry to say down right tormented me. I won't go further into that. I want to remember the ones who helped me to grow as an individual and helped shape me into the person I'm today.

My kindergarten teacher Mrs. Stewart was one of those people. I still remember her to this day. Somehow I made an impact on her like she had on me. Whenever my father went grocery shopping and she happened to be there. She would always inquire about me and my well being long after I graduated and left home. I feel that kindergarten is a very important time this is where your molded into being your own person. You get to learn about all kinds different things and start to make new friends and learn valuable life lessons. Of course singing, dancing, and napping weren't that bad either.

Then as I got older several other teachers also made a huge impact on my growing up. I won't get into that or this will become a novel. So any who I just want to say thanks to all the teachers out there who come to work everyday and give there 110% to making sure we get the best education out there. So here's to you and all you do. Thanks.

If you have any questions about the items used in this design please let me know. Also if you have any requests for future nail art designs please let me know as well.
