Geekn' out Munchkin Style

Last week, Nail Narcotics challenged me to create a jelly manicure as my Sunday night homework.  It was a bit of a let down because I don't have "real" jelly as explained in my Purple Jelly post.  BUT, today it was my turn to play teacher and give the homework assignment - a mani based on our favorite board game!  I'm super excited about today's post, I'm a super big nerd and love love love playing board games.  My friend Shawna, who I've mentioned in yesterday's Glamping post, is also a big nerdy gamer.  She introduced me to this game and bought me my very own for my birthday!  So without further ado, here is my Munchkin mani!

Here's shots of each of my fingers and the cards they were based on!




This is such a great game and if I could, I would play it all the time - just not with my Grandpa.  Here's what the box looks like:


This game was created by Steve Jackson, who also's done other nerdy games, more information about Steve Jackson Games can be found here.

John Kovalic illustrated the cards and they are fabulous and so random and funny.  For more info about John, click here.

To check out Nail Narcotics fantabulous Sunday Homework, click here!  Apparently she HATES games, which I didn't know until after I gave her the homework, but I think she did a great job on her Candyland mani.  I don't think I've ever played Candyland, but her nails make me want to!!  I hope she goes easy on me next week :)

I used acrylic paint to do the nail art.

  1. This is so cute! I love it. I seriously cannot do any freehand nail art so I really have to practice to get something even marginally acceptable.
