Outlander inspired

Pin It

I have to post a three more book inspired manicures for the year. I have some ideas, but the time to do them, not sure. This is a mani inspired by Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon, which I read for the reading challenge prompt, "a book a friend recommended." The manicure looked a lot better in my head than it came out, but I wanted to share it with you nonetheless. 

The Wee Free Men Inspired

Pin It

I read The Wee Free Men, by Terry Pratchett to my daughter for the reading challenge, "A book with magic." It was a fun book to read and was the first book by Terry Pratchett I've ever read.

The Touchstone Inspired

Pin It

I read The Touchstone, by Edith Wharton earlier this year for the challenge, "A popular author's first novel." It was technically her first novella. The House of Mirth is one of my all-time favorite books, so I was happy to hear another of Edith Wharton's stories.

Earthsea Trilogy inspired

Pin It

The Earthsea trilogy, by Ursula K. Le Guin inspired this manicure. The three books, A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, and The Farthest Shore were published between 1968 and 1972.  The stories take place in the world of Earthsea, a place made of small archipelagos, separated by huge distances of ocean.

Last of Halloween with Anonymous Lacquer

Pin It

Last Halloween manicure with polishes from the Monster Mash Awesome Sauce Indie Box, but definitely not the last time that I'll wear these gorgeous polishes.
