You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Pull out your vanity table and chair...we're about to get super girly in here! This weeks inspiration challenge board is a "Nail Art Pinterest Board". I can't believe what people are doing on nails these days (LOL)! You should have seen me making 'nail masks' and trying out some of the fun nail art techniques on my own nails! Conclusions: in some cases it turned out awesome, and in others...well you know how it is sometime; trial and error and thank goodness for nail polish remover! (LOL) I can't wait to try with Gel Polish! In any event, I was thrilled by all of the wonderful inspiration I found on our inspiration board, all of which would definitely work for paper arts....like cards, books, and scrapbook pages too. I really had to control myself! So, being that there are over a thousand pins on this board, I've uploaded 15 of my favorite images below in case you don't like Pinterest, or just have not subscribed. Ok, so you know the drill....please take the challenge and try something NEW this week, and then let everyone see what 'nail art' can do for YOUR creative projects and techniques! (FYI: I had to post a little earlier than normal since I have to work tonight, but please don't hesitate to get started.) Enjoy!
Challenge Goals: Please don't be tempted to upload a card that you have made prior to this challenge, just because an image on the site reminds you of it - this is all about creating from an inspiration. :cool: So, please take the challenge of allowing your creative juices to flow based on your impressions when you look through the images. Remember, it can just be the color palette or style that ignites your creativity. Whatever draws you to the designs, take the challenge of doing something uniquely inspired today.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many images to choose from, I've uploaded 15 of my favorites. So just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. Click on the images below to see them bigger and to get their links on SCS. Don't forget to let us know which photo served as your inspiration piece please.
Super fun pintrest site, Ms. Audrie. I'm hopeful something in the midst of all that wonderful nail art will be just the spark I need to unleash some creativity. Thanks for the challenge.

Went with a snowbird image, with reds and greens- did some "nail painting" with red for my reverse cut hearts and added some patterned fabric strips to spice it up a bit. Here's Berry Lunch

Hi Audrie, thanks for this inspiration...It is so funny, I can NOT wear nail polish anywhere where I can easily get to it...my hands, because it will not last a day without me picking it off completely! I don't know why! But there were some of the most beautiful and some of the most, dare I say, ugliest nails I've ever seen on that board...to each her own eh?

They don't clip so you would have a real battle to pick them off. 1 gel treatment lasts like two weeks without any change except nail growth line at the bottom...I love how it looks while I am typing or white boarding at work smiles. So, I bet you'd like gel. P.S. your card is gorgeous!

LOVE the inspiration board...I'm in awe of all the gorgeous nail art. I also love the gel polish; just had my nails done yesterday, but when I go back in 2 weeks, this is the design I'm going to ask for!:
Thank you thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU, Audrie!!! I haven't made a card since December, and this challenge was EXACTLY the kick my mojo needed to remind me that I do, indeed, still enjoy this hobby. FORTY PINS later, I finally narrowed it down and made this: Hole Hearted. The others are saved in a folder on my desktop to execute another day (or later today - who knows?). Thanks again - great challenge, great inspiration board!

What a fun site, Audrie! I hardly ever wear polish, usually for special occasions-wedding, shower, etc. Maybe 2 or 3 times a year, and like Robin, I pick, peel, and scratch it off. Here is my card, thank you Audrie, and thanks all for taking a peek. IC531 Cinderella by asweetjewel - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Audrie, this challenge was so much fun as the inspiration board was filled with beautiful nail art. It was difficult for me to select just one piece! Audrie, you are outstanding in selecting art for us to be inspired by!! Here is my card.
