SassyNail Nail-Aween Nail Art Challenge: Day 4 Mummy Nails FAIL!!!

I decided to skip MSMD (Monkey See, Monkey Do) Monday's again this week so that I could get past my mummy nail challenge hurdle. I have been putting this off for far to long and I knew that since the month was half way over today I just needed to buck up and do this. See, my problem is that I don't like to do the same type of thing as everyone else. I like to be a little different. (Funny because I spent my entire childhood trying to be like everyone else, but that is an entirely different issue :-)) Everyone in the challenge came up with awesome mummy mani's and I thought mine would be just as creative, but alas, it is not. My husband thought it was a gingerbread man!!! See, fail! Lol. I don't even want to show you guys this but I promised myself when I started my blog that I would post the good, the bad, and the ugly. I don't think I knew what I was getting myself into.

There is a silver lining to this mani though, well actually, two. I did NO cleanup and I got to use my first ever China Glaze polish!!! I just bought it the other day when I was shopping for my nail polish buddy and got uber jealous of the beauties I was purchasing for her! I'm Not Lion was just released as part of China Glaze's On Safari collection. I only wanted two of the polishes from the collection, and this was one of them!

Base coat: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardener

Base color: I'm Not Lion from China Glaze - 3 coats

White base color: White On The Spot from Milani - 1 thick coat

Mummy/gingerbread man ;-): Black acrylic paint from Artist's Loft

Top coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat

Taken inside my truck with the flash because I don't care how the picture turned out!
