The Nightingale inspired

Pin It

The Nightingale, by Kristin Hannah is a gorgeous book, an absolutely lovely story. What inspired this manicure though, is the very pretty book cover. In most of my book inspired manicures, I try not to just have nail art that looks like the cover of the book, but in this case I couldn't resist. 

Favorite Books of the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge 2015

Pin It Throughout the past year, I participated in the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge 2015. If you followed along here, you saw that I devoted a couple of manicures to some of the 52 books I read. There were books I loved that I didn't honor with a blog post and even one of the worst books of the year made it into a post. Now, I want to mention the top books I read this year.

Mobtown inspired

I read Mobtown, by Jack Kelly last month. It was"a book set in my hometown," Rochester, NY. 

Hogfather inspired

Under the heading of "better late than never," here is a Christmas manicure . . . Well, technically it is a Hogswatch manicure.

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.
