Today's post focuses on a prompt about my favourite decade. Now, I'm not one who can easily pick favourites, 'cause I always look at what's best in everything, so I chose something of a decade that links to a special memory of mine.
If you're wondering, although I was born in the 80s, my impact years - aka teenage years - are set in the 90s, and receiving my first walkman as a present was a milestone in my life!! Anyone with me on this one?
Let's take a look at the nails then, shall we?
Funky bright colours - how 80s! - and a tape k7?
Oh yeah!!
For my funky colour scheme I went with Bellaoggi 13 and Kiko 482.
I considered a purple and yellow combo at first, but decided orange was a better pick.
I then painted a headphones set and a tape (side A) with acrylic paint.
The only elements in here that I'm not too sure about are the musical notes, but I wanted something on those nails and wasn't too inspired about the what exactly.
These are probably gonna be a favourite for long. I love all the tiny details and the colours are so very me.
Plus, the memories associated are a blast!
Anyone remember how wonky sounded tapes would get after too much rewinding and forwarding? ;)
Ahhh!!!
What are your teenager best memories? Drop me a comment and tell me everything!
Hugs & Kissies,

Ooooooh, again you did such a fun and funky and perfect look Mina! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThese are so funky and fun! I know I say it all the time, but your free-hand skill always blows me away!!
ReplyDeleteWalkmans (Walkmen?) for the win! Ahh, I love everything about this mani! The colors are amazing and your artistry is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo fun!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I love your artwork! I do remember cassettes and if one got loose as seen in your art, you had to try to tighten it by winding it with a pencil.
ReplyDeleteI was born in '86 so I was a kid in the 90's, so you can better believe I had me a tape player! Me and my sister used to make our own "radio" show mix tapes by announcing songs and taping them from the radio. This nail art totally takes me back there!
ReplyDeleteAh these are great! So colorful and beautifully done! Makes me miss cassettes!
ReplyDeleteYour freehand skills never cease to amaze me Mina!! That cassette looks so perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour free hand skills are sick! This is so beautiful, from the colors to the perfect lines, love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat color choices! They go together perfectly! The designs you did are absolutely perfect too! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours you chose, very 80s! And your detailing is perfect. 😍
ReplyDeleteHow on earth have you managed to get those tiny details on the headphones?! I'm in awe! You got skills girl!
