Throwback Thursday: Wanna Polka
We're going to try something new for today's post. Everyone is familiar with "Throwback Thursday," right? If not, it's the day of the week when you post a photo from a long time ago. Well, to put a NikkisNailFiles spin on it, I decided I would have a Throwback Thursday by re-creating an old design. What nails did I start with? The very first post on the Files, of course! Remember these from 2010?
Of course you don't. The photo above is my recreation with more pastel colors. The actual original first post looked like this:
Ah yes, my super awesome photography skills. That's more like it. So what do you think of this Throwback Thursday recreation idea? Should I consider doing it monthly?

Short and Sweet Tag Today we have another tag post brought to you by Ghila over at The Beauty Travelista blog. I love watching tags on YouTube (I know I'm not the only nose-y person wondering What's In My Bag?) and I considered doing them but I'm not a Youtuber so...yeah. I tried to keep this a bit relevant to the blog (you know, nails and all) but there's also some real Nikki in there too. Here we go, the Short and Sweet Tag! Short & Sweet Tag So stupid: When I paint my fingernails and then decide I want to paint my toes...ugh. Even more stupid: DuckFeet nails! Do you remember Duck Feet nails? Best day ever: Future: Is it corny to say my wedding day I hope! Past: The day I received my bar passage results! In general: Any day where something good happens to me...or any day that I have a new post here! On replay: Episodes of The Royals....and Food Network in general (first mentioned here). Totally loving: Nude polishes, stamping designs, working out with my love every night, having so much time to blog. Never would have thought: I'd still be blogging after 6 years. Really enjoying: Learning to cook more and blogging so frequently. Terrified of: The sound of really loud water (like waterfalls) but only if I'm standing really close to it. Hate: When people don't respect my choices because they don't agree with them. I also hate when my thumb nail breaks on the side! Love the weather when: I can wear my boots and a scarf. Best age: Probably when I was 10-12. I was in gymnastics and had a blast. I got to be an athlete, travel places to compete, and I would even earn medals because I was damn good! Also because, you know, I wasn't stressed since I wasn't, you know, an adult. I'm the middle row middle. Regretting: Those times I decided to cut my nails wayyyy down. No time for: I have to agree with Ghila. I have no time for negativity or people who make me feel negatively about my choices/decisions. Always hungry for: FOOOOOOOOOD! Steak and potatoes of any kind OR SUSHI! (Ghila said sushi too lol I'm just stealing her answers! But I really do love sushi!) Always ready to travel to: France (or the nail polish store). So disgusting: I agree with Ghila again! People who make noise while they eat...ewwwwww! Pushing myself: To be a better blogger. Also, as I'm writing this my arms are sore because I worked out yesterday...so I guess I'm also pushing myself physically, too. Really want to: Win the PowerBALL lottery! Jk, replace my car. Kind of missing: Being a student. Honest! Dancing to: my own beat? I tag everyone!

i am obsessed with this design! both in the original form and the recreation, i can't really decide, but your lining skills defenetly increased. today's mani look more neat and vibrant but i think i like the base color better in your original one. i just downloaded the pic and put in my to-recreate list folder if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! I like the base color on my original more, too. The base on these nails didn't look so bad until I saw the photos and then I thought they were way way too opaque. I was looking for more a neutral/sheer polish. And yes, I would love to see your recreation!
DeleteSo cute ...i love them
