To Infinity and Beyond! Introducing the Pixar Polish Challenge.

Hello everyone!

Once again, it has been a stupidly long time since I've blogged. However, you'll be pleased to hear my nail art has not followed the same irregular pattern, and I still do my designs every week without fail! 

So, before I explain the formalities of my self-created "Pixar Polish Challenge", it's time to once again play catch-up! Here's what's gone down these past 3 weeks or so...

Mr Men

I'm particularly proud of these ones as along with my 90's cartoon heroes nails featured in my last blog post, the lovely ladies at "Look" Magazine were once again kind enough to feature these on their Facebook page! 

 Paddington Bear

An adorable British Icon who loves duffle coats and marmalade sandwiches! I even went the extra mile and got a jar of marmalade out of the fridge to use as a prop. Yep. I am that dedicated! Or just incredibly strange.... I'll leave it up to you guys to decide!

 A tribute to Bowie

 A couple of weeks ago, I spent some quality time with my dad in London, and we visited the David Bowie exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. We queued for AGES to get in (FYI, it's totally worth it) and had I known we'd have to queue for that long, I could have done this manicure whilst I was waiting! Silly me for being prepared and doing it before I left the house.... ha! 

 Right, I think we're all caught up! Time to move on to the main event of this blog post. Without further adieu, readers, I am pleased to announce my participation in my very first nail-art challenge! 

Okay, so I'll admit that it's a self-created challenge, and not an 'official' one undertaken by more seasoned nail-bloggers. However, by setting myself this challenge, I''m hoping I'll feel a bit more initiated into the nail-blogging community. I'm still a newbie after all!

So, what is my self-created challenge all about? Firstly, I must tell you that it is one so formidable that I created a (very crude) 'logo' for it....

Yep. Very crude, isn't it? Sorry to have subjected you to the above, but my challenge needs a little self-promotion! What better way to cement it with than with a logo?

Crudeness aside, how did this challenge come into being? My reasoning is this. I am a HUGE Pixar fan and have pretty much been counting down the days until Monsters University is released here in the UK. To any of my American readers, I'm very jealous at the fact the movie would have been out for almost an entire month in the US before it hits theatre's on our side of the pond! Still, I just know the wait will be worth it, and to bide my time, I have set myself this nail art challenge! Basically for the next 4 weeks or so, I'll be doing 'Pixar' themed manicures, culminating in a Monsters University theme, which my fingernails will be sporting with pride when I go and see the film. 

So, are you ready to see week 1's efforts? 

Toy Story

These took FOREVER to do- think it was around 3 and-a-half hours! Still, the way I see it is that it's 3 and-a-half hours less waiting time until I get to see MU. Time-consuming matters aside, I loved doing these and was very sad to see them go.

I didn't have much time to mourn the demise of this design, though, as I had to press on with week 2! I've just finished it, but because I'm mean (or just tired, it's late here!) I'm going to leave this blog post there and keep you in suspense!


Until next time, readers, and remember: You've got a friend in me!
