Nicki Minaj "Super Bass" inspired

Good morning! Today I'm sharing a manicure inspired by lovely Nicki Minaj! After I swatched the whole collection on Tuesday, I got slightly hooked on Nicki Minaj again. On Wednesday I was listening to "Super Bass" on the bus to block out a voice of a 2yo having a tantrum and I got inspired. By the video, not the 2yo's tantrums. I also got ideas where some of the colors in the collection came from... At least I like to think so. ;)

Huomenta! Tänään näytän teille lakkauksen, joka on Nicki Minajin inspiroima. Sen jälkeen, kun swatchasin kokoelman tiistaina mun pieni obsessio Nicki Minajiin heräsi jälleen. Keskiviikkona kuuntelin bussissa "Super Bass" viisua, koska bussissa huusi 2-vuotias ulos uhmaansa ja niinpä siis inspiroiduin. En tosin 2-vuotiaasta vaan musavideosta. Tajusin siinä samalla mistä jotkut kokoelman värit ovat peräisin. Ainakin mun mielestä.

My source of inspiration was the fish/mermaid style clothing Nicki wears in the pool scenes and I wanted to create a look based on that which also gave me an excuse to use the polishes right away instead of leaving them to a drawer. I started with three coats of Did It On 'Em followed by SV. I cut out a triangle shape of scotch tape, added those on the cuticle area and and sponged Fly here and there. I also dapped a bit of Nfu.Oh #54 on top to give it more dimension to Fly. As Nicki's dress also has orange "scales", I also added some Nfu.oh #44 on with a very subtle hand. After this I stamped on the fish scale stamp from BM-111. Why the triangle shape, you ask? For the "cleavage" as she's wearing bright lime bra. ;)

Inspiraation lähteenä toimi Nickin kala/merenneito-tyylinen asu, jota nainen pitää uima-allaskohtauksissa päällään. Tahdoin luoda vastaavan lookin joka antoi mulle hyvän syyn käyttää uusia lakkoja, eikä vaan jättää ne laatikkoon. Aloitin kolmella kerroksella Did It On 'Emiä, jonka kuivattelin SV:llä. Leikkasin teipistä kolmionmallisia palasia, asettelin ne kynsien juureen ja töpöttelin Flytä sinne tänne. Töpöttelin Flyn päälle sini-turkoosia Nfu.Oh 54:sta kynsille ja koska Nickin asussa on myös oransseja "suomuja", lisäsin kynsille myös Nfu.Ohin oranssia 44:sta. Tämän jälkeen stamppasin kynsille kalansuomukuvion laatasta BM-111 ja voilá. Miksi kolmiomuoto? Siksi koska videolla Nickillä on kirkkaan limet rintaliivit. ;)
