One of my readers, Annika, e-mailed me her ideas for a Violet Beauregarde nail design and asked if I could do a nail tutorial based on the character from the original 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory character.
Since I haven’t done freehand nail art in some time, I thought I’d give it a go.
You’ll remember that Violet was the one who chewed the same piece of gum for a long time. And when at the factory, she can’t resist trying the new chewing gum that Willy Wonka has come up with that includes flavours such as appetizers, main courses, and even desserts!
Haha, she grows bigger and bigger, turning blue/violet as the seconds pass! Finally, the Oompa Loompas have to take her to the Juicing Room to squeeze it all out.
Here is my version of Violet Beauregarde Nails.
Instead of making the buckle sideways on the red belt, I wanted to give it a twist, so I painted them very similar to the buckles in the Santa Nails I did before on here.
If you want to take a completely literal and accurate approach, paint the red belt and buckles horizontally.
In this post, I’ll show you more photos of this quick design as well as step-by-step instructions with photos for how to recreate it.
Wow, last night’s Super Bowl game was crazy intense just like Beyonce’s Half Time performance! (And it was really cool to see Destiny’s Child reunite!)
You’re used to seeing me review various nail-polish shades and dabble into the fun world of nail art, but it’s always important to remember that what you use to prime your nails is what can make or break your manicure.
Update: Kelley replied to my e-mail on June 9th. The giveaway is officially closed. Thanks to everyone for participating! 
While it’s not really new, the flakie nail-polish craze is still going on strong.
Recently, I found out that my sister-in-law is pregnant again, but this time with a baby girl!
