Nerd Nail Challenge: Game of Thrones

So today is another challenge and another one I haven't read or watched. From what I gather there is a lot of plaits and quite intricate hair styles going on. Other than that I don't know anything about it! Which is why I have attempted to do some fishtail braided nails.

Nails: PCOS Awareness Month

This set of nails have been done as September is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Awareness Month. I have people close to me who do suffer from this, and raising awareness is always important. For example, most people know October is breast cancer awareness month, where as not many people know about PCOS Month or indeed the syndrome itself. I did some awareness nail art last year, which you can see here if you want.

Sunday Stamping: Favourite Song

For today's challenge we were to do nails inspired by our favourite song. I chose Metallica and the song Enter Sandman, not my favourite song but one I do like.

"Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war
Dreams of lies
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite, yeah"

Nails: Neon Rainbow

You might recognise these nails from last month, but today I tried making my own nail art stickers. This is the Rainbow image from Konad Q1 which I painted and cut in half to divide over the two nails.
