Marvel’s Venom Inspired Nail Art

Where do you find inspiration? Is it something you feel or be?

Before I paint my nails, I think about people that influence me through their generosity and creativity. For this manicure, my brother came to mind.

He is one of the most artistic human beings I know. I posted a photo of a drawing he made on my personal Instagram about a year ago. He inspired me then and he inspires me now.

This photo does not do the drawing justice by any means.

One of my older brother’s favorite characters of all time is Marvel’s Venom. I let the poison take over me and created this nail art.

Katy Perry’s Prism Inspired Nail Art

Last week I was a lucky VIP guest at Katy Perry’s “We Can Survive” benefit concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Thank you Citi Bank!

This is how close my friend and I got to the beautiful “Firework” singer.

I was so moved, touched and inspired by Katy Perry and her new album “Prism.” From her power anthem, “ROAR” to her uncharacteristically vulnerable “By the Grace of God,” her new tracks offer pure pop positivity and relatedness.

The addicting album influenced these two manicures:

1. Louder than a lion ready to ROAR in this manicure.

2. Technicolor glitter manicure to reflect the light of a prism.

The Walking Dead Nails

AMC’s zombie-apocalypse series, “The Walking Dead,” kicks off its fourth season tonight.

I am a dedicated fan of the show and reader of the survival horror comic books. In honor of the line up of new episodes, I created a wound oozing, flesh crawling, zombie-filled manicure that has a hint of badass.

The Grand Prize Winning Manicure

Last month, I mentioned the possibility of going to New York because of a manicure I executed.

Turns out, it’s happening! My nail art helped me win an all-paid trip to the Big Apple (insert happy dance here).

In September, as I got ready to visit San Francisco to attend Sensation’s “Ocean of White” event, I entered the production company’s contest on Vine.

Sensation took to the bite-size video sharing platform to promote a contest challenging fans to share a creative video that included music or dancing.

My grand prize includes round-trip airfare, a two-night hotel stay and two tickets to Sensation’s 100th show taking place on October 26 at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn.

It’s going to be one heck of a party!

Here’s my video entry:

I was notified earlier this week that I won the grand prize.

I am incredibly humbled and so thankful for this generous opportunity.  Thank you, Sensation and Golden Voice!

Here’s a photo of the grand prize winning manicure.

Disney Side Contest on Vine: Dia de los Muertos Nails

Disney Parks launched its official Vine account on October 1 and announced a month-long contest on the bite-size video sharing social media platform. The challenge: show your Disney side.

In an attempt to get Mickey Mouse approved and win a prize, I submitted an entry.

Here is my video:

Currently, the Disneyland Resort is decked out in a Halloween theme. If you’ve visited the Magic Kingdom in the last couple of years during this season, you might of come across a Dia de los Muertos exhibit near New Orleans Square.

Check out this photo I took of it at the park last year and posted on Instagram:

I’m itching to go back to the park ASAP. In the meantime, my manicure will have to fill the void. . . Can you find the hidden Mickey’s?

Pink Nails for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It’s time to go pink.

October is breast cancer awareness month and what easier way to show your support than with some nail art? Even Beyoncé is joining the cause.

On Tuesday, Mrs. Carter took to Instagram to raise awareness for breast cancer and show her philanthropic side by painting her nails pink. Queen B is supporting Nails Inc and its effort to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Care campaign, UK’s largest breast cancer charity, by using the brand’s signature “Pinkie Pink” polish.

In commemoration with the cause, I executed my own pink nails.

Check out a video I made on Vine showing how I created the look. You may notice my failed attempt to bust out Vine magic. It’s a working progress.
