Game of Thrones Pink Dragon Scale Nail Art

Good evening, everyone! I know today's post is a little bit late, but I wanted it to coincide with the Season 3 premiere of Game of Thrones.

I wanted to do something a little different than the house logos, so I decided to tackle dragon scales in honor of Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons!

Also, I wanted to do something a little different than the average green/gold scales of most fictional dragons. So I went for pink!

Swatch and Review: Julep Marion

Good day, lovelies! A very quick post for you all while I'm in Florida on vacation! Because I'm dipping my feet in the pool, I thought a shimmery blue would be perfect for this post.

I received Julep Marion, named for Academy Award winning actress, Marion Cotillard, in my February Box! Right now, you can receive your first Julep Maven box for FREE by clicking here and entering the code FREEBOX. All you pay is $3.50 for shipping. A $20 box for just $3.50? Sounds like a steal to me!

Julep Marion is a rich teal nail polish with aquamarine shimmer. The above is with two coats.

I love that is has such depth and dimension to it. It's very glowy, in a way.

So what do you think of Julep Marion? Are you a maven? Are you planning on becoming one?

Have a great Hump Day!

Disney Princess Nail Fail

Big surprise... no nail blogger or nail artist is perfect. We all have ideas that seem awesome on paper, but never pan out in reality.

Well, here's one of them...

I was inspired by Chelsea of The Nail Network's Ariel manicure, specifically the use of Ariel's skin tone and distinct hairstyle on the thumb. I thought it'd be cool to use all ten of the official Disney princesses, one for every finger, in a similar manner.

For the record, Disney counts the big six of Ariel, Belle, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Jasmine, newcomer Tiana, as well as Mulan, Pocahontas, and Rapunzel in this club.

Ariel turned out so well! I used a variety of Art Club nail art paints over Zoya Audrey.

In light of this, I had SUCH high hopes...

All I can say is FREAKING BLONDE PRINCESSES! I must have tried to do Cinderella six different times, Sleeping Beauty four times, and Rapunzel twice (she was last). And after that, I gave up.

Each one of them has such structured hair that I couldn't, for the life of me, fit them onto my nail and make them look right.

So, in the end, I went with the Minnie Mouse Nails I posted yesterday. I love them, I do. But one day, I will figure out how to paint the trio of blondes on my nails. 

Until tomorrow!
