Nail Art A Go Go Challenge! ~ Day 28 Art Nouveau

Hello Dahlings!

 

This is it...da last day of da Nail Art A Go Go Challenge!

I want to thank da brilliant & most beauteous Missy Gnarly Gnails

for not only coming up with da most unique nail art challenge

I've seen in 2 years of  nail art blog hopping,

but also for letting me join her Facebook group,

Polish Passionistas.

I have gotten to know some of da ladies there this month

& made some pretty gosh darn nifty polish pals 

as well as had my socks knocked off

by some of da best nail art I've ever seen!

I've been challenged both artistically & logistically this month.

My inky lil brain is spinning with new ideas I want to try.

But before I can go off on new polish adventures,

I must needs to show you my final challenge nails...

 

Art Nouveau

This is one of those art movements that I know it when I see it,

but it can be hard to describe

due to da diversity of mediums used to express it.

It's more organic than da rather linear

Arts & Crafts Movement

(or da Prairie School that followed after A&C)

that were going on at the same time,

yet balance & defined form were essential.

 

I used this Tiffany Lamp as my inspiration for today's prompt:

 

 Tiffany Stained Glass Nails!

Yep...I stamped them on my nails.

 

 Da line up ~ Finger Paints Paper Mache & Black Expressionism

along with Nabi GitD in M. Green 21, Blue 07 & Pink 03

 

 I used this image from Cheeky's 2012 XL Plate A

& my beloved Vivid XL Squishy Stamper

(I sure hope they stock these again!

Y'all really need to have one to get da best results.)

 

And cuz I'm me...

 

 Under black light...

 

...and in da sink!

I highly recommend this set of gitd polishes from Nabi on Amazon!

It has every color you could need

for year round glow-in-the-dark fun!

 

 

All done!

 

>^. .^<

 

Maybe some Ciri pics will cheer us all up?

 

 Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh yeah, dat's da spot!

 

Aaaaagh!

What is you doings to my leg?

I is NOT a dog!

 

Thank you SO much for taking this artistic journey with me

& please don't let da love for my Polish Passionista Pals end here!
