Vroom vroom!

Hey chickies

I was seriously lacking some nail inspiration a little while ago so I decided to use some outside sources and find out what they wanted to see on my nails. My boyfriend came up with a great idea... he just recently picked up a new motorcycle and thought it would be cool if I did some nails inspired by them. Now the bike he just picked up is pretty cool, it has chameleon paint on it that changes from emerald green to a pretty navy blue. It also has this silver crackle paint on the top. This gave me like 237489345649 ideas but I'm pretty happy with the one I decided on.

I tried to find a polish as close to the chameleon paint as I could get.... turns out I didn't have an exact match but the one I chose will have to do ;) 

To start this design a painted a base of Pure Ice Silver Mercedes. Then I created a ruffian look using China Glaze Unpredictable. I took Bundle Monster's place BM-208 and stamped with Pure Ice Silver Mercedes to give it that crackle-y effect. I top coated with some Poshe and was done! 







*trying* to catch the shift here.... didn't really work -_- lol

It came out much lighter then I intended... I think if I layered CG Unpredictable over a black base it would have given me better results. But oh well I still quite liked these nails and the boyfriend loved them ;) LOL

 And bonus picture!! Here's his new bike. 

Snazzy!!! ;) Lol!
What's your favorite duochrome polish? 
Thanks chickies! :)

    I'm so happy you found someone who appreciates your wonderfulness!
    My fav duos are the new uber chromes from I Love Nail Polish. A bit pricey, but so worth it! <3

    I like asking my bf for mani ideas because he always comes up with something completely different. I love your motorbike inspired nails, they look so pretty!

      I never thought to actually ask him but you're totally right they have such a different look on things so they come up with ideas we would have never thought of! Thank you so much lady!! :)
