LDTTWC Day 6: They Sure Don't Make Them Like They Used To...

Hey polished prisoners,

Here we are at the near finish line of the LDTTW nail art challenge and I have to say one of my favorite mani's for this challenge thus far!   The theme of today's post was to create nail art inspired by a classic childhood game or toy i.e. they don't make them like they used to.  I had so many ideas for this one because I was definitely something of a game fanatic when I was a kid.  However one thing that has somehow stood the test of time was my love of video games.  I still own several systems as well as plya and I'm still obsessed with the Final Fantasy franchise. Until the day I die I will love FFVII and Cloud Strife, but my favorite system and game that started the obsession is Nintendo's Super Mario Bros.  I played this game until my fingers bled lol!  Yeah I'm that girl ;)

This is so cute!  But my poor nubin....

The  nails with the M and L are based on the caps that Mario and Luigi wear, the star is self explanatory, my pinkie, recently nubinized, is based on the mushroom cap and my thumb is the mystery box that you bop to find out what's inside.

Okay isn't this totally cute?  This is the type of mani where everything I did was so simple, but somehow came out looking just the way I imagined it.  I really enjoyed creating this one and I hope you liked it too!  We're winding down on this challenge with just two more posts to go.  It went faster than I thought it would :)  Thanks for reading and I'll see you next post!  Toodles...
