TV Inspired: Veronica Mars

Hey guys,

So today's manicure is inspired by a show that for me never gets old, Veronica Mars. The first two seasons of this will go down in history (well my history) as some of my favourite television ever. Everything was awesome, until it moved from UPN to The CW and shit hit the fan. Suddenly season 3 started and none of our questions went answered and, well, yes I'm clearly still quite bitter about season 3. Could have been epic, but no. Anyways Kristen Bell is still one of my favourite actresses, I think she's beautiful.

So for this I have, Veronica's camera (please excuse my shitty camera drawing skills), the Mars Investigation logo, her faithful side-kick Backup! and then the lined paper from the opening. (excuse me while I start singing the Dandy Warhols)

For this I used

Bed Head - Master Mind

OPI - Don't Pretzel My Buttons

OPI - Suzi Loves Cowboys

China Glaze - Stone Cold

Sally Hansen - Black Out

Orly Instant Artist in Crisp White, Red & Jet Black

TV Inspired: The Vampire Diaries

Hey guys,

So our manicure today is The Vampire Diaries.

Here's a fun fact: I went to high school with Sara Canning who plays Aunt Jenna in the first couple seasons. We had a drama class together. She's probably one of the nicest people. 

That being said now that Elena is all over Damon I'm not very impressed. I tend to fall for the super broody good guys, it disgusts my friend Jill but it also means that we never usually fight over guys.

So here I have the Salvatores Day ring (thats an S not a $ just for the record) and Elena's locket.

Along with some super cheesy vamp teeth. I also took this opportunity to use one of my polishes I made.

For this I used:

Sally Hansen - Black Out

Bed Head - Master Mind

Orly - Stone Cold

Nails Inc - Trafalgar Square

Avon - Silver

Hoof Polish - Matinee Rouge

Orly Instant Artist in Jet Black & Fiery Red

TV Inspired: Battlestar Galactica

Hey guys,

So good news! my frankening supplies came and somehow what was in my mind actually made it into the bottles! Originally I had planned exactly how I was going to distribute them, because I only ordered enough bottles to make 4 of each. Well my initial plan was to surprise my new buddy Melissa from Claw of Cthulhu with a bottle of a couple (well as much as you can surprise someone after having asked for their address) So sorry Melissa, maybe if I make a second batch.

Alright! Moving on! Today's manicure is Geek-certified by my coach's husband Brendan. Our inspiration today is Battlestar Galactica the newer one obviously. My Dad and I still haven't settled the debate over which one is better (the new one obviously.... sexy men galore) 

We have Starbuck's tattoo, a cylon face, the BSG logo (a bit sloppy but whatever) & a cylon spine. If you follow me on instagram (puckzilla23) you can dig through my pics to find me in my Cylon t-shirt. But thats neither here nor there

For this I used

Sally Hansen - Black Out

Avon - Beam

Orly Instant Artist - Fiery Red & Crisp White

TV Inspired: Hart of Dixie

Hey guys,

So Happy Valentines Day, I personally am not a fan. Pretty much since for as long as I can remember my Valentine has been one of the four-legged variety. Not to discount them, they're quite easier to love than many a human being.

Today's TV Inspired manicure I at least feel somewhat fits into the lovey dovey crap that is V-Day. 

Hart of Dixie Now I've loved Rachel Bilson since The OC so I was super excited when HoD debuted. Add in Wilson Bethel & Scott Porter and you've hit the trifecta. (Can you see a pattern here?? Good looking guys significantly up how much I love a show. Sad but true.) So I've got the hearts, the bluebells, the Rammer Jammer, and of course we can't forget about the lemons!

For this I used:

SOPI - Neutral Beauty

Essie - Cute As A Button

China Glaze - Lemon Fizz

NOPI - Step 2 The Beat of My <3

TV Inspired: White Collar

Hey guys,

I'm typing this while I watch The Lion King and Mufasa just died... ack! Sorry had to get that out of my system. Pretty much anyone who is a Disney fan with sympathize with this.

Today's manicure comes devoted to one of my new favourite shows. This was one my coach Jacquie has been telling me that I have to watch for a long time now. Well I finally did and holy crap! Love it.

White Collar, I wanted to keep this pretty clean and simple because when you see any of the promo material for this show, it more or less is just black, white, blue & Matt Bomer. Perfection.

For this I used

OPI - Step Right Up

Sally Hansen - Black Out

Bed Head - Master Mind

Art Club - Neon Blue

Orly Instant Artist - Blue J

TV Inspired: Beauty And The Beast

Hey guys,

For today's TV Inspired manicure I have one of my new favourite shows: Beauty And The Beast.

I'm pretty much obsessed with this show, I've never been a huge Kristin Kreuk fan but I love her in this, and well obviously Jay Ryan is a babe (even when he's all beasted out)

I really struggled with how to do this manicure and what I wanted to do and of course none of my friends watch this so no one could give me any sort of ideas, so I was on my own. I did this while watching the show so I think that helped a bit. We have Vincent and the scarred side of his face, and a rose representing Catherine. I know roses aren't big in this show but I tried doing the side of her face and totally blew it. I liked the dark colours in this one because the show is a much darker grittier version of the classic fairy tale.

For this I used

Essence - Chic Reloaded

piCture pOlish - O'Hara

Art Club - Yellow

Quo Instant Artist in Red

TV Inspired: 2 Broke Girls

Hey guys,

So tonight we have some 2 Broke Girls for you. I really love Kat Dennings and I've had more than one person tell me that her character in the show could be my (fraternal) twin. Also she has a horse in her backyard which is pretty much my dream, except I don't know if Briar would be totally cool with Breezer and Timmi invading her backyard. 

I actually really liked how this turned out, the uniforms are kind of wonky and apparently I didn't feel the need to clean up at all after this one, so just look past that.

For this I used

Zoya - Lo
OPI - Step Right Up

Nails Inc - Carnaby Street

Orly - Frisky

Dollish Polish - Girls Rule, Boys Drool
