Hi everyone! I bet many of you are really excited about the Super Bowl tonight! As a Canadian, I follow the CFL and am a pretty big fan of the Calgary Stampeders, so I can't say I'm too concerned about tonight's event. Llarowe decided to host a Super Bowl themed manicure contest to celebrate the big game, and while I can't say I know anything about the two teams facing off tonight, I worked my butt off to create two manicures to submit to her contest! I think she'll judge them either tonight or tomorrow - fingers crossed!
So here is my first of two manicures for the Ravens! Part of Llarowe's rules were that we could ONLY use team colours, making this extra hard. My original idea was to draw a football field and have a bunch of ravens (the birds) in Ravens jerseys, but that didn't work out.
The colours I used were OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, OPI Funky Dunkey, Quo by ORLY Filthy Rich, and Quo by ORLY Little Black Dress.
The ring finger here is supposed to be the eyes in the old logo, as seen in this picture. This manicure was my favourite of the two I did and for that reason I'm saying Go Ravens tonight!
Leah Ann was sweet enough to let us each have two entries, one for each team! I knew I had to take advantage of that offer so I called in the help of my boyfriend Dan for a 49ers manicure. This one was SO HARD TO DO because Leah Ann listed only Red, Gold, and White as the team's colours. It is so difficult to not use black! The colours I ended up using were OPI Thrill of Brazil, Quo by ORLY Filthy Rich, and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.
So my index finger is a candlestick, get it? Candlestick Park? My boyfriend came up with that one, I never would have known that. My favourite nail is the one with the helmet - so cute! Not sure how I feel about my attempts at the logo, I'm surprised at how much harder a text based logo is to translate to nail art than a picture logo.
A close up of my sweet little football helmet! I'll definitely take note of this for the CFL season so I can rep my Stamps!
Is anyone doing something fun for the Super Bowl tonight? Do any of you have NFL-themed manicures to celebrate?
Wish me luck in this contest! ;)
EDIT: No prizes for me :( Dang, I already had plans for my new Girly Bits & CrowsToes polishes! :P
Woww! These are amazing! I am hosting a Mani Bowl on my blog today, you are invited to play for either or both teams! I would love if you would share these with my readers!
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping make the ManiBowl 2013 totally AWESOME with these adorable Supernails! You rock so hard! I really love the helmet! Thanks again for playing with me!
DeleteAt least you helped the 49ers win the ManiBowl! :D
Hahaha, I thought about only entering one mani but since I don't have much of a preference either way I entered both. :P
DeleteI love these!! I'm a huge Ravens fan, thank you for making the designs awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI think your entries (both of them) were just as good as the ones that won. Sorry you didn't win, but they were awesome!
