About a month ago Lindsey over at Wondrously Polished started a facebook group called 'The Polished Bookworms' where each month we read a book, have a discussion, and then we all post themed manis based on the book. This month we read Liane Moriarity's Big Little Lies. If you haven't read it...it's a fun book with a huge twist at the end. Give it a go!
I chose to start with a base of Pretty & Polished's Blue Jean Baby. This is an aqua base filled with turquoise micro-glitters, pink squares, little round purple glitters, and turquoise diamonds. This polish choice was based off of my favorite character Madeline who wears turquoise polish and loves everything pink and girly.
I then used acrylic paints to try and recreate the American version of the book cover on my fingers. I'm not the best at free handing intricate little designs, but I gave it a go. I'm sure Lindsey will blow me away. But take a look anyways....
Be sure to check out all the other ladies who are participating below. We all had great fun reading the book together. I can't wait to see everyone's inspired looks. Next month we're reading The Maze Runner. If you care to join us, visit the Facebook Page.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
