Music Challenge 4:
Bad Romance (Lady Gaga)
Time sure flies when you’re
having fun, don’t it? :D We’ve already reached day 4 in my music nail art
challenge. I picked Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance for day four. I didn’t have
anything particular in mind when I picked the song, so watch and see what I
ended up with.
I let this picture inspire
me:
It’s from the video she made
for the song. I let the black lace over her face and the many diamonds inspire
me to do this mani!
At first I painted my nails
in white, black and red alternately. I used Models Own “Snow White”, Essence
“Black is Back” and L. A. Splash “Fire Siren” as my base colours. I used two
coats of each polish. The black is in fact a one coater, but since I was going
to wait for the other nails to dry anyway, I gave that two coats as well.
Here’s what that looks like – without top coat:
I like this already! :D
Then I added a little bit of shimmer to the white and the black. I used Astor’s “Nail artist glitter”. It’s most visible on the black, which is perfect, because that’s where I want to see it the most.

Here’s that step – still no
top coat:
Now for the actual art. I
used two stamping plates from Bundlemonster and I stamped with Essence “Black
is Back”. I used BM316 and stamped a lace design over my pinkie and thumb, and
BM305 to stamp a Devil’s tail on my middle finger. Bad romance, right? :)
For the diamonds I used
OPI’s “Crown me Already”, and sponged that half way up on my ring and index
fingers.
Then I topped it with Poshé
top coat, and my interpretation of Bad Romance is complete:
I must say that I’m
extremely impressed with that lace stamp. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a
detailed and crisp stamping design before!
Here are the polishes I used:
It’s time for the verdict,
girls. Let me know your honest thoughts about this, please!
Next challenge up is in three days, and we’re going to
have “Firework”! I can hardly wait!!

Lovely interpretation! And I love that Nail artist glitter!
ReplyDeleteThank you. And the Nail artist glitter is a great polish to have because it can give that little extra to creme polishes :)
DeleteWOW hvor er det blevet super flot... Bliver altså helt misundelig over dine lakker :)
ReplyDeleteTak tak :) Hvilken har du nu forelsket dig i? :)
DeleteJeg er forelsket i ALLE dine lakker, men LA splash fik lige mit hjerte til at banke en ekstra gang - lækker :)
DeleteI dem alle sammen! O_o Hahaha!! LA Splash'en er også lækker! Det er første gang jeg prøver den, og havde egentlig overvejet om den skulle have et nyt hjem efter denne mani, men jeg har helt sikkert ombestemt mig, så den bliver hos mig :)
DeleteDet kan jeg dælme godt forstå :)
DeleteEjjjjjjjj! Du ved jo jeg elsker netop denne mani! :)
ReplyDeleteJaaah, det er skønt!! :)
DeleteNice choice and great mani :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteBy the way, I'm looking forward for your Smoke on the water mani :)
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling with getting ideas to that one at the moment, so I'm glad I still got a bit of time to work out something cool :)
DeleteYou did it, love it. It's an edgy and eccentric design exactly like Lady Gaga.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much - then my mission is accomplished perfectly :)
DeleteI love those Devil’s tail :). You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteYeah, they're cute, aren't they :) Thank you so much!
DeleteLooooove this! simple as that, no more words needed
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you, I'm so pleased to read that :)
DeleteOh, I loved the lace design. Should use it anytime soon... :)
ReplyDeleteYes, please do! I'm overly impressed with that design, I've never seen a design so detailed! :)
DeleteWow that's a creative manicure! I'm impressed by your imagination :-) And I agree with you about the crispness of that lace stamp. May need to try it myself too ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :) I just wish I was equally creative every time :) And I'd love to see that stamp on you too.
DeleteWow that's so creative! I'm impressed! And I agree with you about the crispness of the lace stamp. May need to try it myself ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really like it! It's edgy and a bit eclectic, just like the song and the artist! :-)
