Allo polish Pals,
How are you all doing today? I hope you
had an awesome weekend. Did you get up to anything exciting? I had a
fairly quiet one, I got a new shirt for Tuesdays interview, spent
time with my family and got a bunch of editing done. Quiet and cosy,
it felt good.
Also a huge congratulations to Vanessa who won my international giveaway!

Today's nail art is pretty pants..
Pants bear, Pants bear,
letting it all hang out, all his bits freshening in the air,
Shaking that booty all around, shake it here, shake it there.
Put on a proud display, little Pants bear,
Don't worry about the moose giving you a stare,
Let the whole world see that you don't give a care.
This nail art was actually painted
while I was still in Holland.. I know, so old, haha. I think I may
still have one more nail art design from before I moved home... and
actually, I think I may have worked out I am now post-organised into
the new year, I just have a few gaps to fill here and there. I told
you I was organised!

Little pants bear was actually inspired
by a bottle of wardrobe/closet spray to make your clothes smell
nice.. the bear on the front had the exact same post and to me, it
really looked like a pair of underpants in his hand would have suited
his care free look. Inspiration is everywhere, yo.
I believe for this manicure I used my
OPI Nail Envy base coat (always!) and used two coats of Barry M's
'White' nail polish for a nice clean canvas to work on. Everything
else was created with acrylic paints and sealed with two coats of
Pro-FX top coat (How I miss thee) and eventually I added a matte top
coat which looked perfect for this design.
What do you guys think of my
pants bear? Do you ever get inspiration from random items in your
house?
Thank you so much for visiting, I hope
you have a truly awesome Monday, may it be the start of a great week
for you!
I'll catch you all again on Wednesday
for a really mixed review.
Love
Ithi
Your bear looks so happy, waving his underpants... a great way to start my Monday with a smile :D
ReplyDeleteI don't think items in my house really inspire me, but on occasion my eye is caught by a color combination on a flyer or something like that and I use that as a starting point. Does that count?
Aww yes, Joyce! He's a vision of happiness, isn't he?! I'm glad he gave you a smile! Of course that counts, your colour combinations are a work of art. I have no skill in pairing colours the way you do, I am always in awe!
DeleteWhat a great manicure! I like your precision!
ReplyDeleteSmuack
Thank you so much Zauberin! :D
DeleteLOL Ithi, you really are the best. Never in a million years did I imagine that I would become slightly (okay make that totally, but I don't want to sound like a stalker :D ) addicted to a nail art blog and then YOU happened. I love your carefree bear nail art.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you, Michelle! Hehe that is honestly so kind! I try to shake things up here, gotta try new things! I am very glad to have met you and your fabulous blog!
DeleteThis is simply amazing :-D I love it - so cute :-D
ReplyDeleteGood luck. How will your nails look for the interview?
Thank you so much, Ananka! I actually had polar bear nails! I didn't remove them however the lady who checked me in complimented them! I realise.. I may need to start taking better care of both hands haha.
DeleteThese are so cute! I'm amazed at the intricate details of the clouds and trees.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much TexanMama! <3
DeleteYou never know where inspiration will come from! I love this design and the poem (or song) that goes along with it. It's too cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Samantha! I figured he needed something to go along with his carefree attitude!
Deletethis nail art is giving me life. could we be friends so my nails look awesome everyday.lol.. pls be my friend
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jossy! Sure, come over right away! I'd love to do your nails hehe :)
DeleteThis is absolutely amazing! Your nails are fantastic! I would love to have something like this on mine. They are looking pretty bad at the moment!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Corrine & Kirsty! You gotta give them some extra love during the winter months! <3
DeleteI am always surprised where you're taking your inspiration for your wonderful nail art. This mani turned out so cute, love the bright colors and it makes me miss summer. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Andrea :) I feel like I need a little more summer too, I think it was actually pretty hot when I painted this design back in Holland!
DeleteThere you go again with those cute nail arts. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sue-Tanya! You are always so kind :)
DeleteYou always manage to squeeze in every little detail. like on the grass and the trees.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cia, I try hard! Its not always easy but I do try, haha :)
DeleteThat's amazing! I can't even draw a straight line not to mention a bear. That nail arts is so cool. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharonoox, I think the more you practice the easier it becomes. I break everything down into shapes when I paint. Its a bit like trying to do a line, instead of trying the whole thing do little bits. For lines I sometimes make dots and line them up if I am not feeling confident to do the whole line in one go ;)
DeleteHow cute is that! I would love a mother daughter set done like this. You did a great job - and congrats to your winner!
ReplyDeleteThan you, Alicia! Oh wouldn't that be adorable!
DeleteThats the cutest bear I have ever seen. And I am with Cia, you always make all designs your own with such details.

DeleteI color my nails from time to time but I don't think I can ever do nail art on my own! This is really awesome, love the bear, it's adorable!
