Music Challenge 7: I’m a
Barbie Girl (Aqua)
I chose this song because it’s made by a
Danish group. It’s not very often that Danish music makes it to other parts of
the world, so I thought it was worth mentioning. “I’m a Barbie Girl” was
released in 1997, and it topped the charts worldwide, particularly in European
countries such as the UK,
where it was a number-one hit for three weeks. It was also on top of the charts
in Australia
for the same length of time, and debuted and peaked at No. 7 on the US Billboard
Hot 100 in
September 1997.
The first thing I think of when I think about
Barbie dolls is the colour pink. Pink stuff and girlie things and sweetness.
So I chose Pure Ice “Jamaica Me Crazy” as my
base colour. It’s a shimmery magenta that is fully opaque in two easy coats. On
three of my fingers I covered the magenta with a purple glitter from Nails Inc.
called “Bloomsbury Square”.
One easy coat of that before I stamped.
I used Cheeky stamping plate CH29 and a no
name silver stamping polish. I stamped a kiss on the ring finger and the thumb.
After that I sealed it all up with a layer of Seche Vite top coat.
And there’s my Barbie Girl mani. Pink and
glittery and girly like it should be.
I actually tried to stamp purple kisses first
with A England’s “Avalon”, but that didn’t show up much. I’ve heard that al A
England’s polishes should be great for stamping, and that’s actually why I
bought “Avalon”, but it looks as if she’s going to need some even lighter
underwear. That means that I won’t be using her for stamping, but such is life
sometimes :)
Next challenge up is in three days, and we’re going to play “Video Games”!
That’ll definitely be fun!
