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!!

Ooh, I'm excited! I probably won't do all that well, but it will be fun!
WOW!! I've been able to go home the night I read your post and create something straight away. Don't think it'll be quite that easy for me this time around - but I love it! Man...how I'm lemming a Konad set right about now!!!
Oooh I found one that is perfect!! Going to do my nails, photo them and send them to you today! :) (thus also eliminating my usual attempt of "oh I'm so doing this...nevermind I got busy and didn't have the time. Boo!" lol)
How do we get dress photos larger than the thumbnails? The "mouse over to zoom" thing makes it where if you try to click and view the larger image it takes you to an image of the dots. LOL
Zara- That's all that matters! The challenges aren't competitions or contests, just something to do for fun and to be inspired! :)
Megan- I'm the opposite! I looked at all of the dresses online and found a bunch that were very inspiring!!! There are dresses with flowers, skulls, bows, lace... Yay! I'm excited. I'm also thinking you definitely need some Konad stuff! OCnailart is where I got all of mine :)
Sarah- Great! Then I'll be expecting your email! Don't let me down ;) LOL
Sarah- Yah... If you have a Mac, you can take a screen shot of the dress but if you have a PC maybe you can try right clicking the dress and saving the image to your computer. Otherwise, just tell me what dress you chose and I can get the photo for you :) Let me know if that helps.
haha I won't! Not this time. I'm about to put on my base colour! Woooo. ;)
And thanks! I completely forgot about doing screen shots! That works on PC's too.
Sarah- You're welcome! I didn't know you could do screen shots on PCs... cool!
Soo excited for this one! I love Betsey Johnson and her colors are insane. I have an amazing zebra glitter purse of hers that I'm trying to match a mani to soon!
Betsey Johnson is one of my faves too. I would love to get a pair of her shoes someday. If only I could do nice nail art - I'll be jumping on the bandwagon!
Yeah it's pretty neat. :)
I just sent off my email to you. I'm on the ball on this one! lol
You know, I'd never even heard of Betsey Johnson before this challenge, so thanks for picking her. It's always cool to see new things. And some of her dresses are outrageously awesome! :)
Yey my first challenge I've managed to join in on :D
ooh I think I'm getting excited for this one.. I was already thinking of putting zebra prints on my nails this week already.. hmm.. I think I must change it..though.. I don't see pink zebras.. but I will do my best!!
Freshie- I agree! I think she is the perfect source of crazy, fun inspiration!
Bellebathandbeyond- She has some funky shoes! I almost got a pair but realized I'd never wear them :( Wish I had a reason to though! P.S. Practice makes perfect! :)
Sarah- Yes you are! You are the first entry! :) Betsey Johnson has some pretty cool stuff! Some things are very "out there" though... lol
Emybloom- :) Great!
Pretty- I'm sure you'll find something! She's got a little of everything, except pink zebras ;)
I love Betsey! I am so in for the challenge, but some of them are really obvious, like leopard prints and sponged ones.
OF COURSE this would be the challenge the week my nails are growing out. :( I heart Betty Johnson, though, so I can't wait to see what people come up with.
This looks fablulous. I have been and have a few ideas. Will do my nails later in the week and post to you.
Have fun everyone. xx
p.s.
Thanks again for a great challenge.
Oyku- Yes but that's okay because then you can really tell what dress you were aiming to match your nails to! :)
Jennifer- LOL Oh no! Maybe you can try it out anyways! My nails are pretty short at the moment too but I HAVE to do the challenge :)
pkbmum- Great! Can't wait to see what you come up with!!
Great idea! I have a dress I loved from last summer's collection. I wonder if it's on the list???
.......I'm off to shop for inspiration, lol.
weeeeeeeee... i will join again for I've seen lots of pretty dress and would make a pretty mani too!!
wooott!! woooooott!! i love the lace up bow & love hurts instarsia dress...I'll try to make a mani today and send it to u!!
Gosh dangit!! This one sounds amazing! Maybe I will find the energy to be able to do this tomorrow before the deadline!!
