Fashion Friday: Oscar de la Renta

 Due to last week's Fashion Inspiration post being a huge success..

Me & my fashion blogger bff Cassi from The Granny Treatment have decided to do a weekly collaboration called 

"Fashion Fridays"!

Since she is the fashion savvy one, she will be choosing the designer and collection.

I will then choose 5 different items from the collection and recreate them as nail art :)

This week's inspiration is Oscar de la Renta's Fall 2012 Runway Collection

 Here are the swatches I used as my inspiration:

 

 Fall 2012, Look #48

 

Fall 2012, Look #3 

 Fall 2012, Look #13

 

Fall 2012, Look #17

 Fall 2012, Look #24

If there are any runway collections you'd like to see turned into nail art, 

leave a comment for me here or for Cassi over at The Granny Treatment!

Inspirations

I always love to see other peoples manis that were inspired by Bad Luck Barbie.

The latest comes from Finnish blogger & total sweetheart Lara over at  Rocketraptor.blogspot.fi

She was inspired by the Blood Drip tutorial, but instead of red she used green so it looks like dripping goo!

I love it!

Thank you so much for sharing, you rock Lara! :)

Fashion Forward: Shoshanna

My best friend, Cassi, is really into fashion.

 We were recently talking about all of the awesome nail art that was seen during this year's New York Fashion Week.  She works for a department store clothing label, and she had the great idea to take some of the fabric prints from their Shoshanna Fall 2012 collection and paint them on my nails!

I used a combination of nail polish and acrylic paint, matte & glossy topcoats to do these designs.
Here's what I came up with:

 I cropped small swatches of the patterns I used, so you can see for comparison:

Sandra dress

 Heidi dress

 Double Crepe Trina dress

 Janelle dress

Sequin Tara dress

I personally am a big fan of fashion-inspired nails. 

Especially since I don't own any fashion forward clothing, at least my nails can be trendy!!

Inspirations

 Sorry it took so long to update, still unpacking everything!!
I don't know where my nail stuff is yet anddd this week's Sunday Social is kinda boring so...

Here are a few photos of friends who were inspired by my tutorials! :)

This one is from one of my best friends, Cassi.  She was inspired by the Half Moon Mani Tutorial.   She did a perfect job recreating the shiny black and matte grey!

 And this one was done by my friend Elyse.  She did this using the Tape Mani Tutorial.  The awesome color combinations were part of her outfit for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer walk yesterday in Houston, Texas. 

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures.  I'm really glad you were inspired & I would love to see more nail art from you all!!<3
