I Like Pie!, Take Two

The second prompt for The Challenge Your Nail Art Thanksgiving Challenge is Fall Food.  I have done a cherry pie nail art before, but I wanted to do it again.  I really like the concept and I have seen others since and I really wanted to try it again.


I really love how this came out.  Unfortunately the pictures aren't as well lit due to the short fall days.  I came home from work did the nail art and couldn't find direct sunlight to take the pictures in.


So this was done by hand with Julep's thin nail art brush for the Plié Wand.  The colors are OPI Thanks So Muchness, China Glaze Kalahari Kiss, and Desert Sun.  Then I used a Essie Matte About You over the pie crust stripes to give it a more realistic contrast from the "pie filling."



I hope you all like this!  See you tomorrow with more Thanksgiving nail art.



Tootles!

I like Pie!

When I think of pie I think of a friend of mine and exclaiming, "I like pie!" in a movie he was in.  Well, in honor of Thanksgiving and Ryan Wood, I give you the cherry pie manicure!


I got the idea from Refinery 29.  I guess it is a fashion website. . . I honestly don't know, I just found the picture on google when I was looking for Thanksgiving manicures.


I used OPI Thank So Muchness and China Glaze Sunset Sail.


I really like the look.  It is simple and Thanksgiving-esque without being your typical leaves or Turkey.  I kind of wish I had discovered it earlier, becaues I think I could have done a pie manicure series.  Maybe next year.


Tootles!
