Teal / Chevron Challenge

I have tried and failed in the past on creating Chevron nails.  Well all that has changed as I was challenged by New Crumpets Nail Tarts.  This week for my challenge was the color teal and chevron design.  I was like "ugh, chevrons...really???" my least favorite thing to do.  So as I hemmed and hawed over it like a 2 year old throwing a tantrum, I sat my badonkabutt down and started looking through all my goodies.  I tried several attempts and just did not like the results of using 2 colors.  Soooo I thought this needs some black and pizazz.  I prepped my nail with Covergirl Constant Caribbean polish, pulled out my Uber Chic mat, my Konad m101 plate, then I used Mundo de Unas Aqua stamping polish on the stamping plate by striping 2 rows of the aqua with a black stripe down the middle and walla, came up with this awesome creation.  I think for me what really hit the nail and as we all know it, was when I put that top coat on and woohoo!!!...my design popped came to life.  My favorite part of this design is how the teal looks metallic.  Now I'm a believer that something a person dreads to do can turn into something awesome.  My cute little pinky was painted with a regular black polish topped with a coat of Sally Hansen Triple Shine #370 Hypnautical. 

Enjoy my friends!

Home for my little ones...

This took labor and love to make, but soooo worth it.  I was so excited with the end results.  It was definitely a pat on my own back.    I’m thinking instead of hanging up pictures  on each side I will make 2 more racks.  I also think it would be cool to build the racks and give them their own design with unique character and charm.  If you want to take the time to make your own nail polish rack, there are many options that can be found by GTS (Googling That Sh**)  LOL

Here is my utmost favorite hobby and was perfect for our week 1 challenge.  I love working on my baby and I do most of my own work when she needs it.  She takes me out when I need to feel a release of life's challenges and she brings me such an exhilaration of freedom.
