My SH Bio

Good morning. I don't have any nail art for this post. I just wanted t o share my bio from the Sally Hansen Contest website. It's exciting to be able to see my name on a huge companies website.

Here is the link.

There are 3 other finalists on there to that I will be competing against next month in NY for the "Grand Prize". There should be one other finalist put up on the website soon from the July contest. I am super excited!

I Just got my itinerary last week. I will be flying with my friend Jen from San Diego, CA to NY, NY without any stops and then we get to stay in the Carlton Hotel.

The competition will take place the next day in rounds of nail art. I don't have any details on that yet other than we will be competing against each other by doing nail art based on a theme. Also, we will be able to use our own tools but, not our nail polish. I am assuming that we will be using only SH nail products for that. I am kinda nervous about that part because I really want to win.

That evening there will be an "Grand Prize award ceremony" at the Gansevoort Hotel . There will be press around for the competition which is also exciting. We will be there for three days. The second day seems to be the day where everything takes place. I was told that there also might be a breakfast and a few other things that I might have to attend while I'm there. I think that if I am the winner.

It all sounds like a jam packed 3 days of nail art fun! I am hoping that I will be able to do some sight seeing while I'm there.

Anyways wish me luck!

OMG! So this morning I got  a phone call from a number I didn't recognize so I didn't answer it. I didn't think anything of it. A few minutes later I got an email from Sam Blum the promotions manager for Sally Hansen letting me know that I was chosen to be a finalist in the Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art Contest. I entered the color blocking month and last month for the street wear theme. My street wear theme won!

I entered not thinking that I could win. I am so glad I did. I have never been to NY so this is a huge opportunity for me. This is the nail Art that won me my spot.

 

 

 

I did this mani by using the Saran Wrap Technique with a brown and red polish. Then with a light grey and a thin nail art brush I added lines to create a brick wall. On the first 3 nails I painted the words "I heart nail art" in bubble lettering to look like graffiti along with some small splatters and stars. I outlined the words to make them pop out and highlighted with some white and black lines to give them a more bubbly effect. For the accent finger I used a dark blue and light blue and the SWT to create a jean look. On top of that I added dots of polish to look like paint splatter. On the pinkie I just did some thin rainbow drips because I couldn't think of anything else to do.

 

Colors I used:

 

Sally Hansen  Xtreme Wear "Black Out", "Wet Cement", "White Out", "Pacific Blue", "Blue me Away!", "Mellow Yellow", "Coral Reef", "Green with Envy", "Sun Kissed"

 

Sinful Colors "24/7

 

Finger Paints "It Baroque"

China Glaze "High Roller"
