Easy Madagascar Inspired Nails

Today is day 23 of the 31 Day Challenge. The challenge today was to create movie inspired nails. I tried twice to create nails to the theme of The Proposal, but I found it hard to capture the movie onto my nails without it just looking like bridal nails, or anything else. So, once I failed those two times, I thought of my lovely neighbor who likes to dance along to the Madagascar commercials. While I don’t like the movies, I really like the Madagascar inspired nails I did today:

“Polka dot, polka dot, polka dot, afro!” is the part that my neighbor likes to sing and dance along to, which is where I drew my inspiration from. I got the zebra part from the zebra that had the polka dots on.

I sent a picture of my nails to my neighbor, who then told me she loved it :)

They don’t really look like Madagascar nails unless you knew. You know? They kind of look like party nails, otherwise.

I used L.A. Colors- Energy Source for my white base. I then used Sally Hansen- Blue Me Away! for my blue polka dots, China Glaze- Lemon Fizz for my yellow polka dots, OPI- Elephantastic Pink for my pink polka dots, and E.l.f.- Mango Madness for my orange polka dots. I used a striping brush and black acrylic paint for my zebra stripes.

The challenge for tomorrow is “inspired by a book.” See you then!
