Whenever I see something particularly striking, I try to envision it on my nails. As for my music tastes, I enjoy a wide range of genres. My iTunes library ranges from completely known and unknown. Admittedly, I have a soft spot for the superstar Beyonce. I love her songs, her voice, her energy onstage, etc. With her recent performances at Revel, I was stunned at her costumes while I watched the show online. You'll never see me in one of those skintight sparkly looks but I will continue to lust on the sidelines. I chose one of her looks as inspiration for this nail art.
On a separate note, I really want to know if I should switch fonts from Courier to Times. Probably looks more professional but maybe I'm over-thinking the significance of font choice. I tend to over think everything.
To create this look I used Essie Ruby Slippers on top of a frankened nude. Using the red sparkly glitter, I created wide french-like tips and freehanded triangles on the lower portion of my nail. Honestly, I could've waited and used tape for clean lines. I didn't. I created that polish by mixing some of my mineral makeup into a clear polish. Thus the polish very closely matches my skin tone.

Costume used as inspiration:
Sort of wish I could pull off that "bejeweled cut-out leotard" look. Oh well, I guess I'll stick to nails.
Fashion and even costumes can be a great source of inspiration. Personally, I like to interpret the lines, print, or colors on my nails. What's your favorite source of nail inspiration? If you don't have one, is there anything you would like to see me try? Suggestions are welcomed. Should I change over to "Times" font?
On To The Next Polish,
Katie
