MIsh Mash Challenge Week 19: Around the World

I'm back after taking an unwanted week off from blogging with week 19 of the Mish Mash Challenge. Our theme this week was Around the World, and I have been hanging on to some Fing'rs Heart 2 Art nail tattoos that are maps just for this weeks challenge. If I had not ran across these at Walmart sometime ago I really don't know what I would have done for this weeks challenge.

Today you get a rare look at my right hand! I had two different sets of map tattoo papers, but I like the kind that I put on my right hand better, so that is what I went with. Also please do not pay any attention to the shape of my fingers, that is what cold weather, being sick and not taking care of your nails and cuticles will get you :/

This was a really simple nail look to get, I painted my nails with Sinful Colors Snow Me White and applied the tattoo paper. Easy Peasy :)

I am really excited to see what the other ladies did for Around the World! Be sure to stop by and check them out too.

Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Tattoo Paper

I have been holding on to my Fing'rs Heart 2 Art tattoo paper for quite sometime now, I've never used a product like this before and I figured it was about time to test it out. 

The concept of this product is pretty cool and it's super easy to use. All you do is cut the tattoo paper to the correct size for your nail, peel the plastic film off, dunk it in water and place it on your nail for about 10 seconds, the white paper will side off and leave the 'tattoo' on your nail. The only real problem I had was a couple times I accidentally let the tattoo hit my nail while I was trying to align it before actually placing it down and the tattoo stuck instantly to my nail. On one of my nails I some how managed to wrinkle the tattoo and it left a bump on my finished nail look. Other than those few incidents application was great

I was inspired by Krystal over at Beauty By Krystal to try out a form of nail art I had never heard of, translucent nail art, where you do your nail art on bare nails. I really like the looks of this translucent nail art, I just think it looks so clean. So for my nail look I applied Sally Hansen Hard as nails for my base coat, applied the tattoos as described above and sealed it all in with NYC Quick drying top coat. I think I'm going try this technique again, but instead of using a shiny top coat, use a matte one.

Have you tried tattoo paper on your nails or translucent nail art?
