Imagine

34 years ago today, John Lennon was shot and killed outside of his New York home. That day, a legend was lost. He may not be my favourite Beatle, but without him, that legendary rock band would never have existed. Today's design pays tribute to the legend himself, John Lennon.

I started with a base of Black Taxi from Nails Inc. for all my nails. Then, using white acrylic, I painted John Lennon on my ring finger, and wrote "Imagine all the people" on my pointer finger. 

So take a minute today to imagine all the people, living life in peace. And then, maybe we can actually try this living in peace thing. 

Hope you guys enjoy.

And we all shine on.

You Say You Wanna Revolution...

Here's another manicure I did when my computer had died. It's based on political graffiti that's painted around the world. I did this since I think we all forget the fact that we have the power to make a change if we work together.

The base colour is It's Grey-t to Be Here from Essence. I then dry brushed black and white over my nails, and added the details in acrylic. 

I'll keep this post short. I hope you guys enjoy!

A Little "Peace" of Me

This manicure was kind of random, but it sort of showcases a bit of me.

The pinkie is a watercolour effect using Watermelon from Essie, Sunkissed from Sally Hansen, Lime Up! From Essence and You Belong to Me from Essence on base of White On from Sally Hansen. Then I added a black french tip with acrylic. My ring finger has a base of Black Satin from Rimmel, and the writing is in acrylic. The middle finger is a peace sign, with a watercolour effect again. The peace sign is black acrylic. My pointer finger is chevrons with a base of White On and black acrylic. Finally, my thumb (not pictured), was a simple half moon mani in black with the watercolour effect for the base.

So, this manicure sort of represents me for a few reasons. First of all, I think I'm pretty colourful and creative. Next, I absolutely ADORE rock and roll. It's my favourite type of music. And I'm all for peace, which goes along with the whole idea of rock and roll. :)

Hope you guys enjoy!
