Feature Friday - The Hemi Mani

Happy Friday and welcome to the newest three members of my blog!  Thanks so much for being here!!!  Inching our way closer to 50 and a giveaway!  I've been putting aside pretties for you guys!  Now on to the FF:

So I was swatching SH's Xtreme Wear in Pacific Blue.  While I was admiring the color, I found that it reminded me of the blue Hemi with white stripes, much like the one seen here.  So I added the white stripes using tape and OPI's Alpine Snow.  I started with my usual base of SH Double Duty and did two coats of the Pacific Blue.  I topped them off with SV.  I got a lot of compliments from men on this one!  The moral of the story is: The way to a man's heart is through a car-themed mani!  And a weird little coincidence...I went to the mall and when I came out, a car painted just like this was parked across from me.  Let me know your ideas for a car-themed mani!  Ready, set, go!  Have a great weekend, everyone!

  1. I ♥ that you took inspiration from a car that takes your breath away. It's amazing where one can get inspiration! The ones that turn my head are a select few mustangs! Those few make my heart ache when I see them :)

    1. I actually keep a little notebook of ideas for manis. I've gotten inspiration from artwork and even my walls! So much fun!

  2. This makes me ridiculously happy. My dad pretty much raised me on cars (though a lot of information didn't stick...) and seeing car-themed manis makes me grin like a silly person. I think I need that blue...

    Kind of related, because I love reading your blog, (even though I'm terrible and don't post comments a bunch) I nominated you for some blog awards. I hope you don't mind.
