I'm super excited about this week's challenge! It was influenced by the suggestions of ABOP and Trinty! So thank you two for the inspiration! Let's see the challenge!
Sounds fun, doesn't it!? I love Betsey Johnson's fashion line. Most of it is way too over-the-top, not to mention expensive, for my taste but I think it is so creative and makes a great muse for nail design!... Sooooo... Go HERE to pick out your dress and get painting! :) And don't tell me you can't find anything because there are 12 pages of dresses to choose from ;)
Make a photo collage of your nails AND your selected dress, -OR- send me both images in their original size so I can merge them for you :) If you create the collage yourself, please use these dimensions as your final image size: 7" WIDE x 5.25" TALL @ 72 dpi
DON'T FORGET to name your file like this: "nameofblog_yourfirstname.jpg"
Send me your "Fashion Inspiration" nail designs by Friday (7-16-10) at midnight (CST) to polishhoarder@gmail.com! Add a link to your blog if you would like me to include it with your entry!
Thanks a bunch!
I'm excited to see your creations!!

I must say, the new way of renaming the files worked out really well! Thank you to all that remembered :) And thanks again to everyone for participating! I loved seeing all of your entries...Without them, my challenges would be nothing. Thank you!!

What better time to post photos of my new LABELED nail wheels than now while my nails are short little nubs!?
I FINALLY got these finished (5 months later...)! I photographed the wheels outside under overcast skies. Most of the swatches are color accurate but some may be a little off. Blame that on my camera :) For the labels, I created them using Adobe Illustrator and Indesign. It's okay if you don't know what those are... It was time consuming but easy :) And now I've got every color swatched and easily accessible! No more searching through plastics boxes to find a polish to wear!!

I actually think this could pass for a work-appropriate manicure.
What do you think?
Thanks for reading! :)
