This was supposed to go up this weekend, but things happened. Alas here we are now! I realized that I neglected to describe what this challenge is all about so let me rectify that now. The Let's Do The Time Warp Challenge is sponsored by Neverland Nail Blog in conjunction with Nail Polish Canada, and is dedicated to a love of all things nostalgic. There are two challenges per week for 4 weeks going according to Lindsey's schedule, and it's pretty much a my pace kinda challenge as long as I get the posts up within a week of Lindsey's. It's pretty chill so I feel I can manage this one better than something as demanding at the 31 day nail art challenge. Now today's theme is all about using something vintage as inspiration for a mani. Whenever I think of vintage one thing pop's into my head - jewelry. Yup! I love vintage jewelry particularly things from the Victorian mourning period and Art deco pieces, but one of my favorite pieces has to be a vintage owl brooch that my grandmother owns. I used it as inspiration for this challenge.

Did you know I could freehand? Lol it's been a minute since I've done it and I'm rusty. I definitely want to gain more skills so I'm thinking of freehanding from now on at least once a week to improve myself. Freehand Fridays????? Well in any case this is another challenge that almost killed me. My perfectionistic tendencies and type A personality were out in full force - cringe.
I love the bejewled owl the most and the owl on my index finger the most. So here we are day 2 coming to belated finish. Stay tuned for the next one which should be out quicker! Thanks for reading and toodles...
Love anything victorian!! Nice deign. I wish you could have taken a pic of your Granma's brooch. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah me too! I'll have to snag one the next time I see her but it's a bit tough she's not in the best health these days and I don't like her moving around through her things too much. I do have some old school pics of her wearing the brooch that I could probably use...
DeleteIt looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteAghhh... I need to train freehanding too, we should do it together :)
Thank you hunny! We should! I know the minute I stop I can tell how bad I've gotten from when I was doing freehand designs as least once or twice a week.
DeleteTwice a week sounds great! When should we start? I think we have to choose kindda theme for mani for more fun and challenge. What do u think?
DeleteOhh sounds good let me shoot you an email so we can discuss details!
DeleteOMG!!! This is so gorgeous!! I didn't know you could freehand!! I know I can't lol :)
ReplyDeleteAwww Vicky thanks! Lol I used to do more there are more on my Youtube but these days I've become so obsessed with stamping it's terrible. I need to freehand more!
