Today is inspired by Fashion. I seriously had no idea what I was going to do for this manicure. I searched pinterest. I looked at shoes and purses. I even looked at my kids clothes. Nothing was coming to me. Then, while I was watching So You Think You Can Dance and one of the couples did a Bollywood dance and it hit me! I loooove the Bollywood clothes. The sari is one of the most beautiful pieces of clothing I have ever seen. They use such gorgeous color combinations. All so bright and vibrant. Plus, the way they drape over a female figure is a truly unique and mesmerizing design. I used to dream that I could wear one someday...maybe I still will :-) So, I went back to pinterest and the internet and started searching for a bollywood fashion design that I could recreate on my nails. And let me say, I think I nailed it!! (pun completely intended) First, here is the design that I was inspired by.

I started with a purple base then striped in some teal. I then stamped a similar pattern as the tear drops with gold and drew lines using magenta and gold. For the accent nail I used magenta as my base, stamped flowers in gold and dotted the centers with teal. I am in love with them...and so was the Sally Beauty Supply check out girl (when I went to take advantage of their 50% off already reduced clearance stuff!)

As I look at these I want to get up and shimmy my hips and put my fingers in the lotus pose. What do you think of Bollywood?
