Challenge (Candy Land)

The votes are in and it looks like you guys chose "Candy Land" to be this week's nail challenge theme! That's quite exciting for me. I LOOOVE candy! AND "Candy Land" was my favorite game as a child... well, besides "Pretty, Pretty Princess" but I never actually played that game. I just wore all the jewelry!

Now here are your challenge specs:
Send me your "Candy Land" nail design by Friday (5-21-10) at midnight (CST) to polishhoarder@gmail.com. I'll be anxiously waiting for your submissions! Can't wait to see what you guys create!

Preferred file size:
  • Width = 7 inches
  • Height = 5.25 inches
  • 72 dpi (a.k.a. "resolution")
If you do not know how to crop and resize your image, let me know and I will gladly do it for you.

By the way... Did you know that "Candy Land" was first produced in 1949 and each decade (40's, 50's, 60's, etc) has had an update to the illustrations on the board? Check out the history of "Candy Land" HERE and see how the game has changed to what it is today!

    I loved going through the pictures of how it has changed, thank you for posting that! We had the 1980s one. I kind of want to take it from my dad's house now, haha.

    Great challenge! Now I am trying to decide what I should do. Hmm.

    I used to dream of being just like Princess Frostine when I was little. :) This should be fun! :)

    Rebekah- I hope you will!

    L- I wish I still had one to look at for inspiration! I'll have to do some research online...

    Tierney- Me too! I didn't realize it ever changed until I saw that online. I still like the 80's version best because that was the game I played.

    Liz- Lol that's funny. Can't wait to see what you create!

    This is so fun! Can't wait to try. We had the 80's one and I can't believe how much I hate the new illustrations.

    Ohhh....I have an idea for this! I'm going to try it out, and hope the "idea" doesn't get lost when it translates to the nail. I'm so not good at nail art....

    L0verlada- Yah me too! They are so overdone. Just like the new Disney movies. I'm more into the simple classics...

    Heidi- That's the way I feel sometimes too! I hope you will still submit your idea!

    I had the 80's version and that one is the best looking to me, but I'm probably biased. Fun challenge!
