NAFW2015 Day1: Favourite Fashion Designer

Hey guys!

This week is going to be packed with new nail art because I'm super excited to announce that I'll be participating the first ever Nail Art Fashion Week hosted by @sonailicious, @seizethenail, @manicurator, and @faustgil!

The first challenge is to do a design inspired by your favourite designer. I don't usually follow fashion that closely so I don't really have a favourite designer, but since I've found nail art inspiration from Marc Jacobs in the past (good lord look at how long my nails were) I went back in search of more and was not disappointed!

30 Day Nail Challenge, Day 25: Inspired by Fashion

I've been excited about this prompt since the beginning of the challenge. I love having an excuse to go through all the runway fashion scouring for interesting prints since fashion is one of my biggest inspirations for nails!

This one is inspired by the Marc Jacobs Spring 2014 Collection, (that can be viewed here). I thought the print was fun and kind of felt heavy enough to be wearable in fall even though it's part of the spring collection, (and from the amount of this print in the collection it looks like the designer was as taken by this print as I was).

As for the nails themselves, I forgot that the purple Essie looks more red in the bottle than it does when it dries, so that's what accounts for my base being slightly more purple. But I really do enjoy this look, even thought the colour scheme ended up being a little off.
