31 Day Challenge - Day 22: Inspired By Music

 - Super Mario Bros Flashback -

Here we are at day 22, and the challenge of the day is inspired by a song. Well, what better song than my ringtone - the Super Mario Bros Themesong! Nothing like a childhood flashback to get you in the spirit! 

In retrospect, it was a tad ambitious of me to attempt this 2 1/2 hour design during a 31 day challenge in which it would remain on my fingers for less than 24 hours. Trust me however, when I say that it was a labor of love...
Super Mario Bros
To create this look, I used the following nail supplies:
10/0 detail paintbrush, Acrylic paint in Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, Black and White, Finished with Seche Vite Topcoat
While I may not have saved Princess Toadstool, I'm proud of this nail art just the same!

    1. Me too! I remember saving up my allowance money so that I could get the next game as soon as it would come out! Just recently I played Super Mario Bros Wii, and it's still just as much fun as an adult, LOL!
