He Picks My Polish Challenge - January


Hiya guys. Half way done with the week and I can't wait till the weekend to visit the doctor. Sounds so weird, but honestly I have to come to terms with the fact that my back isn't healing as it should. It's time for medical attention, hopefully it's nothing too insane and only requires minimal physical therapy. I barely had it in me last night to create this mani, but I pushed through because I really wanted to participate. That's right guys, after a few months I'm finally taking part of the 'He Picks My Polish Challenge' again! This has always been on my favorites and hated not having the time for it in months. Before I had much of a chance to think it over, my best friend Adam jumped at the opportunity to pick. And thanks to my nail bestie, I came up with this mani last night.

He Picks My Polish Challenge - January

What do you think guys? I'm glad that Adam decided to stick to some normal creme polishes and not go crazy. I think he was just excited that I was involving him in these challenges again, he secretly missed them.

Here's the materials I used to create this look:
  • Polishes: Stardust Polish Polar Ice, Sally Hansen's Black Out, and OPI's Race Red
  • Thin Liner Brush from eBay
  • Matte Topcoat from Butter London

Although I could of used vinyls or striping tape for cleaner line work, I felt this mani looked better with the imperfect lines. In some ways, it was a lot easier not having to worry about slightly crooked lines and whatnot. I used some water mixed with the polish to ease the brush along my nail. I also made a little tutorial, which will be posted on my Instagram @roselynn787.

Now that I think about it, it's kind of funny I did plaid nails because Adam actually hates that pattern. I personally love plaid shirts, went through a whole phase where that's all I would wear a few years back. So tell me guys, are you a fan of plaid?

  1. I am so jealous of you! My husband won't participate in my nails! He'll look when I ask and say good job, but it's just not his thing. Haven't been able to get him to do a He Picks My Polish Challenge. :(

  2. This is a great design for the colors chosen. I am also a member of this group but sadly have only been able to participate twice. My boys want nothing to do with nail polish and my Boyfriend thinks it's silly. At least he supports other parts of my blog or he'd really be in trouble. =) I hope they figure out your back situation and it's a simple fix! Sending relaxing vibes your way to lessen the pain.
