Today's task was to create a mani inspired by something that was popular both then and now. This was a hard one for me - I had such a difficult time deciding what to do and this was the only day I didn't have pre-planned. After much deliberation and one failed attempt, I came up with Adidas or as it's sometimes known "all day I dream about sex." if you don't get that you've lived under a rock for far too long - kidding :) I can remember desperately wanting a full Adidas tracksuit when I was in junior high school - I was a bit of a wannabe skater girl and all the cool kids where wearing tracksuits. I did manage to convince my mom to get me a pair of Adidas sneakers, they were a dark blue suede skater shoe - oh, how I miss those shoes..... I also remember trying to track down old school Adidas shirts at Value Village - one of my friends scored the coolest Adidas shirt and I borrowed it quite a bit!! I totally think Adidas has stood the test of time, I know my Grandma bought faux Adidas bags for my aunts and uncles for Christmas when they were kids. And Adidas is still around, I would love an Adidas bowling bag - I actually think I have a black and pink Adidas purse that is quite cute - I should go look for that.....
Oh, and this isn't the first time, I've done an Adidas mani, when I was in high school, I did the Adidas symbol in white on black on all of my nails - I used a toothpick instead a brush and I can only imagine the quality of it.....
Black: Wet n Wild - Black Creme
Blue: China Glaze - Secretn Peri-Wink-Le
Top Coat: Pro FX Quick Dry
